Universal Model Routing for Efficient LLM Inference
Wittawat Jitkrittum, Harikrishna Narasimhan, Ankit Singh Rawat +9
Model routing is a simple technique for reducing the inference cost of large language models (LLMs), wherein one maintains a pool of candidate LLMs, and learns to route each prompt…
Regression-aware Inference with LLMs
Michal Lukasik, Harikrishna Narasimhan, Aditya Krishna Menon +2
Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong results on a range of applications, including regression and scoring tasks. Typically, one obtains outputs from an LLM via autoregres…
Faster Cascades via Speculative Decoding
Harikrishna Narasimhan, Wittawat Jitkrittum, Ankit Singh Rawat +4
Cascades and speculative decoding are two common approaches to improving language models' inference efficiency. Both approaches involve interleaving models of different sizes, but…
Cascade-Aware Training of Language Models
Congchao Wang, Sean Augenstein, Keith Rush +5
Reducing serving cost and latency is a fundamental concern for the deployment of language models (LMs) in business applications. To address this, cascades of LMs offer an effective…
Language Model Cascades: Token-level uncertainty and beyond
Neha Gupta, Harikrishna Narasimhan, Wittawat Jitkrittum +3
Recent advances in language models (LMs) have led to significant improvements in quality on complex NLP tasks, but at the expense of increased inference costs. Cascading offers a s…
