The paper introduces ZipCal, a model‑agnostic data curation method that selects calibration data for post‑training compression of large language models by maximizing lexical diversity using Zipfian power laws. ZipCal outperforms uniform random sampling on pruning benchmarks and matches a state‑of‑the‑art perplexity‑based approach while being roughly 240× faster due to its linear complexity. The authors provide code and experiments at their GitHub repository.

arXiv:2602. 01997v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent work has shown that layer pruning can effectively compress large language models (LLMs) while retaining strong performance on classification benchmarks, often with little or no finetuning.
