arXiv:2602. 06127v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The high computational demands of Large Language Models (LLMs) motivate methods that reduce parameter count and accelerate inference.
arXiv:2608. 06901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable generalization across diverse multimodal tasks through large-scale pre-training, yet their rapidly increasing computational and memory requirements pose significant challenges for deployment in constrained environments.
arXiv:2608. 12953v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Structured pruning is a promising approach for compressing large language models (LLMs), yet existing methods rely heavily on greedy heuristics that produce myopic decisions, and often fail to precisely meet target compression budgets.
arXiv:2509. 14230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While structured pruning presents a highly effective pathway for accelerating Large Language Model (LLM) inference, existing methods frequently suffer from significant performance degradation and demand computationally retraining to recover capabilities.
arXiv:2602. 02599v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-context inference in large language models (LLMs) is bottlenecked by the memory and compute of the key-value (KV) cache.

arXiv:2606. 09080v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pruning has emerged as a dominant paradigm for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference, spanning a broad spectrum of methods that remove computation across tokens, layers, heads, dimensions, and attention patterns.

arXiv:2607. 18280v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are often compressed through static parameter pruning or dynamic token-level computation, yet aggressive sparsification can trigger rapid performance degradation beyond an essential sparsity boundary.
Structured pruning is a promising approach for compressing large language models (LLMs), yet existing methods rely heavily on greedy heuristics that produce myopic decisions, and often fail to precisely meet target compression budgets. We present SNIPER, a two-stage structured pruning framework that solves a knapsack optimization over coarse-granularity components to yield conditionally optimal parameter allocations with respect to fixed importance estimates, followed by a fine-grained pruning stage to meet strict budget constraints.
