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.

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:2608. 06630v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pruning reduces the inference cost of large language models, but existing criteria primarily preserve large activations or reconstruct layer outputs.

arXiv:2603. 05121v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speech Large Language Models route speech encoder representations into an LLM decoder that typically accounts for over 90% of total parameters.

arXiv:2607. 13330v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based text-to-audio generative models such as AudioLDM achieve high perceptual quality and strong semantic consistency; however, their practical deployment is hindered by the substantial computational cost of the U-Net denoising backbone.

arXiv:2606. 18304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models scale compute efficiently, yet remain expensive to deploy due to their substantial memory footprint and inference overhead.
