Llama-Mobile: Efficient 2.7-Bit Quantization of VLMs
Luka Ribar, Jeevan Bhoot, Douglas Orr
Deploying vision-language models (VLMs) on mobile devices is challenging due to their significant memory and compute requirements. We present a framework for quantizing VLMs for ef…
A Practical Investigation of Training-free Relaxed Speculative Decoding
Guoxuan Xia, Luka Ribar, Paul Balanca
Speculative decoding accelerates sampling from an autoregressive LLM by using a faster auxiliary model to draft tokens which are then verified in parallel by the LLM. Standard spec…
Optimal Formats for Weight Quantisation
Douglas Orr, Luka Ribar, Carlo Luschi
Weight quantisation is an essential technique for enabling efficient training and deployment of modern deep learning models. However, the recipe book of quantisation formats is lar…
Approximate Top- for Increased Parallelism
Oscar Key, Luka Ribar, Alberto Cattaneo +2
We present an evaluation of bucketed approximate top- algorithms. Computing top- exactly suffers from limited parallelism, because the largest values must be aggregated a…
