smooth_quant Configuration Reference¶

1. Configuration Overview¶

SmoothQuant smooth quantization processor configuration.

Item	Content
Config Class	`SmoothQuantProcessorConfig`
Source	processor.py

Field Path	Type	Required/Optional	Default	Value Range or Format	Description	Referenced Config
`type`	`string`	Optional	`smooth_quant`	`smooth_quant`	Processor type, fixed to `smooth_quant`.	None
`alpha`	`float`	Optional	`0.5`	—	Smooth migration strength (0-1); a larger value migrates more activation outliers to the weights.	None
`symmetric`	`bool`	Optional	`true`	—	Whether to use symmetric quantization; affects the symmetry of the quantized result after smoothing.	None
`include`	`list[string] / null`	Optional	`null`	—	Module name patterns to include; if unset, all modules match.	None
`exclude`	`list[string] / null`	Optional	`null`	—	Module name patterns to exclude; takes precedence over `include`.	None
