MindVL: Towards Efficient and Effective Training of Multimodal Large Language Models on Ascend NPUs
Feilong Chen, Yijiang Liu, Yi Huang +5
We propose MindVL, a multimodal large language model (MLLMs) trained on Ascend NPUs. The training of state-of-the-art MLLMs is often confined to a limited set of hardware platforms…
SQAP-VLA: A Synergistic Quantization-Aware Pruning Framework for High-Performance Vision-Language-Action Models
Hengyu Fang, Yijiang Liu, Yuan Du +2
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models exhibit unprecedented capabilities for embodied intelligence. However, their extensive computational and memory costs hinder their practical dep…
BASE-Q: Bias and Asymmetric Scaling Enhanced Rotational Quantization for Large Language Models
Liulu He, Shenli Zheng, Karwei Sun +6
Rotations have become essential to state-of-the-art quantization pipelines for large language models (LLMs) by effectively smoothing outliers in weights and activations. However, f…
FBQuant: FeedBack Quantization for Large Language Models
Yijiang Liu, Hengyu Fang, Liulu He +4
Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) on edge devices is increasingly important, as it eliminates reliance on network connections, reduces expensive API calls, and enhances user p…
