Anticoncentration versus the number of subset sums

Let $\vec{w} = (w_1,\dots, w_n) \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$. We show that for any $n^{-2}\le\epsilon\le 1$, if $$\#\{\vec{\xi} \in \{0,1\}^{n}: \langle \vec{\xi}, \vec{w} \rangle = \tau\} \ge 2^{-\epsilon n}\cdot 2^{n}$$ for some $\tau \in \mathbb{R}$, then $$\#\{\langle \vec{\xi}, \vec{w} \rangle : \vec{\xi} \in \{0,1\}^{n}\} \le 2^{O(\sqrt{\epsilon}n)}.$$ This exponentially improves the $\epsilon$ dependence in a recent result of Nederlof, Pawlewicz, Swennenhuis, and W\k{e}grzycki and leads to a similar improvement in the parameterized (by the number of bins) runtime of bin packing.
