arXiv:2607.03784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While prior studies have successfully compressed vision Transformers (ViTs) through various pruning techniques, most have concentrated on width pruning to achieve significant reductions in model size. Depth pruning, which removes entire layers from a ViT, is notoriously difficult for accuracy recovery despite its potential to deliver higher speedups, limiting the acceleration achieved by existing joint width-and-depth pruning methods. In this work, we reveal that the failure of existing depth pruning methods lies in their neglect of heterogenei
