PERPLEXITY on held-out passages (none drawn from the calibration set) -- the quantitative signal for quant damage. Uses vLLM's prompt_logprobs. 2. DETERMINISTIC GENERATION on fixed prompts at temperature 0 -- lets us eyeball coherence and diff the two builds' actual output. 3. ABLITERATION SURVIVAL -- this seat is deliberately uncensored; a quant that restores refusals is a regression even if it is faster and has lower PPL. We measure compliance rate on prompts a guardrailed model would decline (dark fiction, profanity, morally grey RP -- the seat's actual job).
