LEAP replaces intractable categorical mask parameterization with a differentiable per-weight Bernoulli relaxation, delivering +2.59 average zero-shot accuracy gain over the best layer-wise baseline across 0.5B-8B LLMs at 50-60% sparsity.
The MaskLLM† rows are 2:4 semi-structured at 50% density and are reproduced from (Hourri et al., 2025)
