LEAP: Learnable End-to-End Adaptive Pruning of Large Language Models
Mohammad Mozaffari, Younes Hourri, Mohammad Rastegari +1
Unstructured sparsity is now natively accelerated by recent GPU kernels and dataflow hardware, shifting the bottleneck from inference execution to the pruning algorithm. State-of-t…
Apple Intelligence Foundation Language Models
Tom Gunter, Zirui Wang, Chong Wang +152
We present foundation language models developed to power Apple Intelligence features, including a ~3 billion parameter model designed to run efficiently on devices and a large serv…
Apple Intelligence Foundation Language Models: Tech Report 2025
Ethan Li, Anders Boesen Lindbo Larsen, Chen Zhang +395
We introduce two multilingual, multimodal foundation language models that power Apple Intelligence features across Apple devices and services: i a 3B-parameter on-device model opti…
From Dense to Dynamic: Token-Difficulty Driven MoEfication of Pre-Trained LLMs
Kumari Nishu, Sachin Mehta, Samira Abnar +6
Training large language models (LLMs) for different inference constraints is computationally expensive, limiting control over efficiency-accuracy trade-offs. Moreover, once trained…
QuantSpec: Self-Speculative Decoding with Hierarchical Quantized KV Cache
Rishabh Tiwari, Haocheng Xi, Aditya Tomar +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being deployed on edge devices for long-context settings, creating a growing need for fast and efficient long-context inference. In th…
M2R2: Mixture of Multi-Rate Residuals for Efficient Transformer Inference
Nikhil Bhendawade, Mahyar Najibi, Devang Naik +1
Residual transformations enhance the representational depth and expressive power of large language models (LLMs). However, applying static residual transformations across all token…
