arXiv:2606.05861v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid development of large language models(LLMs) has led to remarkable advances in natural language processing. However, the increasing scale of these models introduces substantial challenges in terms of storage, transmission, and deployment. Though great efforts have been devoted to model compression and quantization, existing methods often rely on fine-tuning or calibration data, which exhibit limited generalization across different tensor types. In this paper, we argue that video codecs offer a promising solution for LLM compression, due
The explosion in size and complexity of LLMs necessitates innovative compression techniques to manage their increasing computational and storage demands.
Efficient weight compression directly impacts the feasibility and scalability of deploying large language models, enabling broader access and reducing infrastructure costs.
New methods for LLM compression, specifically leveraging established video codec technology, could significantly reduce the resource footprint of AI models.
