The methods that NanoSeedLM uses

• SeedLM, Shafipour et al., ICLR 2025. Weights as seeds of a pseudo-random generator. Read SeedLM.
• TransMLA, Meng, Yao and Zhang, 2025. Conversion of GQA to MLA. Read Multi-head latent attention.

Other work on seeds

• Seed-Q. Sensitivity-aware LFSR seed quantization.
• AWSRC. Seeded residual coding on top of INT4.
• SeedLM+O. A measured negative result on small dense models.

Weights that the kernel computes

• QTIP and ik_llama.cpp trellis quants. The kernel computes the weights. It does not look them up in a table.
