Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) and low-bit quantization are now standard tools for adapting language models under tight compute budgets, yet their interaction is most often studied on billion-parameter models where the design space is expensive to explore. We ask a complementary question: on a specific, fully reproducible 60M-parameter encoder-decoder model (T5-small) and a single-table text-to-SQL benchmark (WikiSQL), how much task accuracy does each efficiency knob actually cost?

Atlas is a framework that optimizes the deployment of compound AI workflows on heterogeneous clusters by selecting execution plans that satisfy service level objectives (SLOs). It introduces MAP, a Markovian Accuracy Predictor, which estimates configuration accuracy using local conditional accuracy transitions between adjacent workflow stages, avoiding exhaustive end‑to‑end profiling. Atlas formulates plan selection as a mixed‑integer linear program, achieving near‑oracle accuracy while reducing deployment cost by up to 42% and profiling cost by up to 2.6×.

The paper demonstrates that the number of candidates generated during test-time scaling of large language models does not fully capture the system cost. By comparing different generation schedules (e.g., one batched call versus multiple serial calls) while keeping the total candidate count fixed, the authors show that serial calls consume significantly more GPU energy and latency. The study suggests that reporting candidate count alone is insufficient; evaluations should also include generation schedule and GPU-level metrics.
