AdaFlash: Adaptive Speculative Decoding via On-Policy Distilled Diffusion Drafters
Yu-Yang Qian, Hao-Cong Wu, Chen Chen +4
Speculative decoding, in which a lightweight draft model first generates a draft sequence that is then verified in parallel by the target model, has become a prevalent paradigm for…
QuantClaw: Precision Where It Matters for OpenClaw
Manyi Zhang, Ji-Fu Li, Zhongao Sun +5
Autonomous agent systems such as OpenClaw introduce significant efficiency challenges due to long-context inputs and multi-turn reasoning. This results in prohibitively high comput…
PreMoE: Proactive Inference for Efficient Mixture-of-Experts
Zehua Pei, Ying Zhang, Hui-Ling Zhen +6
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models offer dynamic computation, but are typically deployed as static full-capacity models, missing opportunities for deployment-specific specialization.…
HAWK: Head Importance-Aware Visual Token Pruning in Multimodal Models
Qihui Zhu, Tao Zhang, Yuchen Wang +9
In multimodal large language models (MLLMs), the surge of visual tokens significantly increases the inference time and computational overhead, making them impractical for real-time…
BATQuant: Outlier-resilient MXFP4 Quantization via Learnable Block-wise Optimization
Ji-Fu Li, Manyi Zhang, Xiaobo Xia +4
Microscaling floating-point (MXFP) formats have emerged as a promising standard for deploying Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) on modern a…
What Matters For Safety Alignment?
Xing Li, Hui-Ling Zhen, Lihao Yin +3
This paper presents a comprehensive empirical study on the safety alignment capabilities. We evaluate what matters for safety alignment in LLMs and LRMs to provide essential insigh…
