The rapid scaling of Protein Language Models (PLMs) has unlocked unprecedented accuracy in protein structure prediction and design, but the quadratic memory growth of the Key-Value (KV) cache during inference remains a prohibitive barrier for single-GPU deployment and high-throughput generation. While 8-bit quantization is now standard, 3-bit quantization remains elusive due to severe numerical outliers in activations. This paper presents TurboESM, an adaptation of Google's TurboQuant to the PLM
