ENEC delivers 3.43X higher throughput than DietGPU and 1.12X better compression ratio than nvCOMP for lossless model weight compression on Ascend NPUs, yielding up to 6.3X end-to-end inference speedup.
Width pruning in Llama-3.2 models reduces parametric knowledge while enhancing instruction-following and preserving reasoning.
Cascaded multi-granularity pruning reaches 13.8x compression on MHA+GELU LLMs for bearing fault diagnosis at 83.82% accuracy while causing ~74pp collapse on GQA+SwiGLU models that violate the formalized Structural Independence Assumption.
ProactiveLLM enables active interaction in streaming LLMs by learning semantic sufficiency cues from partial inputs through mask-based modeling and synchronized privileged self-distillation without external supervision.
SAFE-SVD introduces a sensitivity-aware fidelity-enforcing SVD framework for compressing physics foundation models that maintains higher accuracy than standard methods at greater compression ratios.
Structural pruning of SO(3) equivariant atomistic models from large checkpoints yields 1.5-4x fewer parameters and 2.5-4x less pre-training compute than small models trained from scratch, while outperforming them on most Matbench Discovery metrics and downstream tasks.
XPERT extracts and reuses cross-domain expert knowledge from pre-trained MoE LLMs via inference analysis and tensor decomposition to improve performance and convergence in downstream language model training.
PARSE trains a prompt-aware linear router on dense-model outputs to select dynamic SVD ranks, improving accuracy up to 10% at 0.6 compression ratio on LLaMA-7B while delivering 2.5x prefill and 2.4x decode speedups.
SLaB compresses LLM weights via sparse-lowrank-binary decomposition guided by activation-aware scores, achieving up to 36% lower perplexity than prior methods at 50% compression on Llama models.
MaskPro learns categorical distributions over groups of M weights to generate exact (N:M) sparsity via N-way sampling without replacement and stabilizes training with a moving average tracker of loss residuals.
An analytical post-training method restructures FFNs into MoE by partitioning neurons based on activation patterns and building a router from statistics, achieving 1.17x speedup with minimal resources.
Putri is a structured pruning technique for LLMs that compensates for pruning errors via weight updates and sequential processing while pruning at the attention-head level to reach state-of-the-art results at extreme sparsity.
Pruning pretrained MoE models outperforms training from scratch under fixed budget, different expert compression methods converge after continued training, and progressive pruning plus multi-token KD improves the final 23A2B model.
EGAD adaptively distills LLM knowledge at the token level by using entropy to create a curriculum from low- to high-entropy tokens, adjust temperature, and switch between logits-only and feature-based branches.
Layer pruning preserves classification performance in LLMs but fundamentally limits recovery of generative reasoning capabilities even after extensive self-supervised finetuning.
RAP is a reinforcement learning framework for runtime-adaptive pruning of LLMs that jointly optimizes model weights and KV-cache usage under varying memory budgets.
The paper surveys techniques to speed up and reduce the resource needs of LLM inference, organized by data-level, model-level, and system-level changes, with comparative experiments on representative methods.
