LESS (Lightweight Evolutionary Supernet Search) is a data‑driven NAS method that uses a brief hard‑path warm‑up and CMA‑ES to evaluate candidate architectures as decoded hard genotypes after six supernet updates. On NAS‑Bench‑201, LESS attains 93.189 % CIFAR‑10 accuracy in just 409.1 seconds, nearly matching FairNAS while using only about 1/24 of its search time. The approach also transfers well to CIFAR‑100, ImageNet16‑120, and the larger DARTS space, achieving high accuracies with searches completed in roughly 43.5 minutes on a single GPU.

The paper presents a Pareto atlas of LLM inference optimizations, mapping cost, quality, and latency trade‑offs for Qwen2.5‑7B‑Instruct on L4, A100, and H100 GPUs. Using 54 measured configurations and a calibrated simulator, it identifies 18 of 36 setups on the Pareto frontier, showing that combined methods outperform single ones. Quality tests reveal that AWQ 4bit and FP8 weights offer significant latency reductions while largely preserving accuracy, but naive FP8 KV caching fails to answer any questions correctly.
