Training large language models at 4-bit precision is critical for efficiency. We show that nGPT, an architecture that constrains weights and hidden representations to the unit hypersphere, is inherently more robust to low-precision arithmetic. This removes the need for interventions-such as applying random Hadamard transforms and performing per-tensor scaling calculations-to preserve model quality, and it enables stable end-to-end NVFP4 training. We validate this approach on both a 1.2B dense model and hybrid (Mamba-Transformer) MoE models of up to 3B/30B parameters. We trace this robustness to the dot product: while quantization noise remains largely uncorrelated in both standard and normalized architectures, the signal behaves differently. In nGPT, the hypersphere constraint enhances weak positive correlations among the element-wise products, leading to a constructive accumulation of the signal across the hidden dimension while the noise continues to average out. This yields a higher effective signal-to-noise ratio and a flatter loss landscape, with the effect strengthening as the hidden dimension grows, suggesting increasing advantages at scale.
