KVLink: Accelerating Large Language Models via Efficient KV Cache Reuse

Jingbo Yang, Bairu Hou, Wei Wei +2

We describe KVLink, an approach for efficient key-value (KV) cache reuse in large language models (LLMs). In many LLM applications, different inputs can share overlapping context,…

WebDART: Dynamic Decomposition and Re-planning for Complex Web Tasks

Jingbo Yang, Bairu Hou, Wei Wei +2

Large language model (LLM) agents are becoming competent at straightforward web tasks, such as opening an item page or submitting a form, but still struggle with objectives that re…

Instruction-Following Pruning for Large Language Models

Bairu Hou, Qibin Chen, Jianyu Wang +6

With the rapid scaling of large language models (LLMs), structured pruning has become a widely used technique to learn efficient, smaller models from larger ones, delivering superi…

ThinkPrune: Pruning Long Chain-of-Thought of LLMs via Reinforcement Learning

Bairu Hou, Yang Zhang, Jiabao Ji +4

We present ThinkPrune, a simple yet effective method for pruning the thinking length for long-thinking LLMs, which has been found to often produce inefficient and redundant thinkin…
