Unleashing Low-Bit Inference on Ascend NPUs: A Comprehensive Evaluation of HiFloat Formats
Pengxiang Zhao, Hui-Ling Zhen, Xing Li +10
As LLMs scale, low-bit floating-point formats like MXFP and NVFP4 offer new opportunities for precision and efficiency. In this work, we evaluate HiFloat (HiF8 and HiF4), a family…
Towards Efficient Agents: A Co-Design of Inference Architecture and System
Weizhe Lin, Hui-Ling Zhen, Shuai Yang +14
The rapid development of large language model (LLM)-based agents has unlocked new possibilities for autonomous multi-turn reasoning and tool-augmented decision-making. However, the…
Behavioral Fingerprinting of Large Language Models
Zehua Pei, Hui-Ling Zhen, Ying Zhang +5
Current benchmarks for Large Language Models (LLMs) primarily focus on performance metrics, often failing to capture the nuanced behavioral characteristics that differentiate them.…
Scaling Up, Speeding Up: A Benchmark of Speculative Decoding for Efficient LLM Test-Time Scaling
Shengyin Sun, Yiming Li, Xing Li +8
Test-time scaling has emerged as a powerful paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by allocating additional computational resources durin…
TrimR: Verifier-based Training-Free Thinking Compression for Efficient Test-Time Scaling
Weizhe Lin, Xing Li, Zhiyuan Yang +7
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) demonstrate exceptional capability in tackling complex mathematical, logical, and coding tasks by leveraging extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning…
