"""RotateKV Pre-RoPE Quantization — INT4 KV block compression. Based on RotateKV (IJCAI 2025, arXiv:2501.16383): - Outlier-Aware Rotation: channel reordering + FWHT to group channels by outlier distribution before rotation - Pre-RoPE Grouped-Head Rotation: rotate BEFORE applying RoPE, not after, to avoid RoPE-induced inter-channel mixing that wrecks outlier isolation - Attention-Sink-Aware Quantization: protect first N tokens (sinks) at full FP16, quantize the rest at INT4 Results from paper: 3.97x peak memory reduction, 2.32x decode speedup, < 0.3 PPL degradation at 2-bit on WikiText-2 (LLaMA-2-13B). V4.0: Target INT4 (4-bit) for balance quality/compression. INVARIANT 10: This module ALWAYS receives key_states BEFORE RoPE is applied. RoPE is applied externally after dequantize(). Breaking this contract corrupts attention.
