Quantization-Aware Healing: A Practical Recipe for Recovering Compressed, 4-Bit LLMs
Bakbergen Ryskulov, Iker García-Ferrero, David Montero +5
Serving large language models cheaply increasingly means shipping models that are both structurally compressed to a fraction of their parameters and quantized to 4 bits. Together t…
Efficient Knowledge Distillation for LLMs: Offline Top-K Logits and a Fused Chunked KL Loss
Bakbergen Ryskulov, Iker García-Ferrero, Iker GarcÃa-Ferrero +7
Small language models are often the only option for deployment under tight latency, cost, and on-premises constraints, but they are rarely trained from scratch: a compressed model…
LLM Compression by Block Removal with Constrained Binary Optimization
David Jansen, Roman Rausch, Ali Hashemi +2
In this paper, we formulate the compression of large language models (LLMs) by optimally deleting transformer blocks (``block removal'') as a constrained binary optimization (CBO)…
Globally optimized SVD compression of LLMs via Fermi-function-based rank selection and gauge fixing
Roman Rausch, David Jansen, Sukhbinder Singh +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) are very demanding in terms of their computational resources. Low-rank decompositions of LLM weights, e.g. via Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), is a…
