"Main reason" implies only one of these resolves YES. If the coarse tokens help but aren't the central boost, I assume that option resolves NO?
It's likely a combination of smaller model and low level optimisations (they are happening all the time, judging by open source solutions). However I find it unlikely that "open" AI will share exact numbers to determine what exactly played the biggest role.
@Sss19971997 quantization itself would be "something related to low-level computation efficiency".
