arXiv:2605. 15491v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Layer pruning removes entire Transformer decoder blocks from large language models, but introduces a mismatch between the hidden state received by the next surviving layer and the distribution it was trained to process, leading to significant performance degradation.
