Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in practice incurs substantial memory and computational costs. Post-training pruning (PTP) is an effective approach to reducing these costs by removing weights without additional training.
arXiv:2607. 22587v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across diverse tasks but their deployment is constrained by the memory and compute cost of their parameters.
