What Makes Low-Bit Quantization-Aware Training Work for Reasoning LLMs? A Systematic Study
Keyu Lv, Manyi Zhang, Xiaobo Xia +6
Reasoning models excel at complex tasks such as coding and mathematics, yet their inference is often slow and token-inefficient. To improve the inference efficiency, post-training…
Benchmarking Post-Training Quantization of Large Language Models under Microscaling Floating Point Formats
Manyi Zhang, Ji-Fu Li, Zhongao Sun +4
Microscaling Floating-Point (MXFP) has emerged as a promising low-precision format for large language models (LLMs). Despite various post-training quantization (PTQ) algorithms bei…
InSight-o3: Empowering Multimodal Foundation Models with Generalized Visual Search
Kaican Li, Lewei Yao, Jiannan Wu +7
The ability for AI agents to "think with images" requires a sophisticated blend of reasoning and perception. However, current open multimodal agents still largely fall short on the…
E-Pruner: Towards Efficient, Economical, and Effective Layer Pruning for Large Language Models
Tao Yuan, Haoli Bai, Yinfei Pan +5
With the increasing size of large language models, layer pruning has gained increased attention as a hardware-friendly approach for model compression. However, existing layer pruni…
The Synergy Dilemma of Long-CoT SFT and RL: Investigating Post-Training Techniques for Reasoning VLMs
Jierun Chen, Tiezheng Yu, Haoli Bai +11
Large vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly adopt post-training techniques such as long chain-of-thought (CoT) supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) to…
A Simple Linear Patch Revives Layer-Pruned Large Language Models
Xinrui Chen, Haoli Bai, Tao Yuan +7
Layer pruning has emerged as a widely used technique for compressing large language models (LLMs). However, existing layer pruning approaches often incur substantial performance de…
