arXiv:2606.01544v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in practice incurs substantial memory and computational costs. Post-training pruning (PTP) is an effective approach to reducing these costs by removing weights without additional training. Among existing methods, RIA introduces relative importance scores normalized by row and column sums, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy. However, RIA considers only 1D cross-shaped (row/column) directional information and assigns equal weight to row and column contributions. In this paper, we propose \textbf{CRePE}, which
The increasing scale of LLMs is driving an urgent need for more efficient deployment methods, making post-training pruning research highly relevant.
This development improves the efficiency and reduces the computational costs of deploying large language models, impacting accessibility and scalability across various applications.
New techniques are emerging that allow for more sophisticated and effective pruning of LLMs, potentially lowering barriers to entry for model deployment.
