Hardware Quantization Quality and Speed Evaluator with LangChain and LangGraph
Quantizing frontier models down to FP8 or INT4 significantly reduces HBM bandwidth constraints but can introduce accuracy degradation. You will build a stateful evaluation agent with LangChain and LangGraph to run quantization benchmarks across multiple dynamic precision formats, reporting perplexity degradation alongside token throughput gains. The solution will be validated by accurately predicting optimal precision per task context.
What you are building
The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.
Build a stateful evaluation workflow with LangChain and LangGraph to evaluate model quality vs hardware latency across FP16, FP8, and INT4 quantizations.

Shared data for this challenge
Review public datasets and any private uploads tied to your build.
How submissions are scored
These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.
tolerance_compliance
Ensures selected precision does not breach maximum allowed accuracy drop
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
pareto_optimal_selection
Score indicating whether chosen precision lies on optimal Pareto frontier • target: 1 • range: 0-1
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
