WinQ: Accelerating Quantization-Aware Training of Language Models Around Saddle Points
Dongyue Li, Zechun Liu, Kai Yi +6
Quantization-aware training (QAT) is widely adopted to quantize language models by training full-precision weights using gradients from the quantized model. The main bottleneck is…
Neural Computers
Mingchen Zhuge, Changsheng Zhao, Haozhe Liu +16
We propose a new frontier: Neural Computers (NCs) that unify computation, memory, and I/O of traditional computers in a learned runtime state. Our long-term goal is the Completely…
STEM: Scaling Transformers with Embedding Modules
Ranajoy Sadhukhan, Sheng Cao, Harry Dong +5
Fine-grained sparsity promises higher parametric capacity without proportional per-token compute, but often suffers from training instability, load balancing, and communication ove…
ParetoQ: Improving Scaling Laws in Extremely Low-bit LLM Quantization
Zechun Liu, Changsheng Zhao, Hanxian Huang +13
The optimal bit-width for achieving the best trade-off between quantized model size and accuracy has been a subject of ongoing debate. While some advocate for 4-bit quantization, o…
SpinQuant: LLM quantization with learned rotations
Zechun Liu, Changsheng Zhao, Igor Fedorov +6
Post-training quantization (PTQ) techniques applied to weights, activations, and the KV cache greatly reduce memory usage, latency, and power consumption of Large Language Models (…
Basis Selection: Low-Rank Decomposition of Pretrained Large Language Models for Target Applications
Yang Li, Daniel Agyei Asante, Changsheng Zhao +3
Large language models (LLMs) significantly enhance the performance of various applications, but they are computationally intensive and energy-demanding. This makes it challenging t…
MobileLLM: Optimizing Sub-billion Parameter Language Models for On-Device Use Cases
Zechun Liu, Changsheng Zhao, Forrest Iandola +9
This paper addresses the growing need for efficient large language models (LLMs) on mobile devices, driven by increasing cloud costs and latency concerns. We focus on designing top…
