> Anyway, for comparing quantizations, it seems like the largest precision version should be given a one-shot prompt, and the result from that should be used as the corpus for the quantized versions.

Way better than wikitext-- but tells you nothing about errors tending to compound or cancel out.

Like say a test shows that only one token in a 10,000 token test would be different. Sounds very close, ship it!-- but what if trajectories with that single different token guarantees failure because it sets in motion a cascade of differences that ultimately result in a final distribution that doesn't include the solution?
