H-Spec: Parallel Speculative Decoding Without a Drafter-Side KV Cache
Weifan Jiang, Krishna Teja Chitty-Venkata, Megan Flynn +6
Speculative decoding losslessly accelerates large language model inference by having a lightweight draft model predict future tokens for verification by the target model. Recent bl…
An Interpretable Latency Model for Speculative Decoding in LLM Serving
Linghao Kong, Megan Flynn, Michael Peng +3
Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates large language model (LLM) inference by using a smaller draft model to propose multiple tokens that are verified by a larger target model in p…
Bridging the Gap Between Promise and Performance for Microscaling FP4 Quantization
Vage Egiazarian, Roberto L. Castro, Denis Kuznedelev +8
The recent hardware-accelerated microscaling 4-bit floating-point formats such as MXFP4 and NVFP4, supported on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, promise to revolutionize large language model (…
"Give Me BF16 or Give Me Death"? Accuracy-Performance Trade-Offs in LLM Quantization
Eldar Kurtic, Alexandre Marques, Shubhra Pandit +2
Quantization is a powerful tool for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference, but the accuracy-performance trade-offs across different formats remain unclear. In this pape…
Enabling High-Sparsity Foundational Llama Models with Efficient Pretraining and Deployment
Abhinav Agarwalla, Abhay Gupta, Alexandre Marques +9
Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP), but their size creates computational bottlenecks. We introduce a novel approach to create accura…
oBERTa: Improving Sparse Transfer Learning via improved initialization, distillation, and pruning regimes
Daniel Campos, Alexandre Marques, Mark Kurtz +1
In this paper, we introduce the range of oBERTa language models, an easy-to-use set of language models which allows Natural Language Processing (NLP) practitioners to obtain betwee…
Sparse*BERT: Sparse Models Generalize To New tasks and Domains
Daniel Campos, Alexandre Marques, Tuan Nguyen +2
Large Language Models have become the core architecture upon which most modern natural language processing (NLP) systems build. These models can consistently deliver impressive acc…
