arXiv:2606.07819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, the efficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs) deployment has become a critical concern in practical applications. While post-training quantization (PTQ) and structural pruning are established techniques for reducing memory footprint and inference latency, most existing PTQ approaches optimize quantization errors on a per-layer basis, overlooking how errors accumulate and propagate through the network, often resulting in suboptimal solutions. Traditional pipelines also tend to apply pruning and quantization in isolation or sequentiall
The rapid deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) is creating urgent demand for more efficient and cost-effective inference, making compression techniques like pruning and quantization critical for practical applications.
This research addresses key bottlenecks in LLM deployment, promising to reduce memory footprint and inference latency, which are crucial for scaling AI applications and making advanced models more accessible.
Traditional, siloed approaches to LLM compression are being replaced by integrated, optimized methods that jointly consider pruning and quantization, leading to more efficient and performant models.
