Recently, Apple ML Research published a study proposing a new method called IDEA Prune, aimed at addressing the contradiction between the efficiency of large language models and their deployment under limited推理 budgets. The study advocates integrating the previously often overlooked step of “augmenting model pre-training” into the structured pruning process to create an integrated processing system. This work focuses on answering two key questions: First, whether augmenting the model during the pre-training phase is valuable even if the model is not ultimately deployed; second, how to optimize this entire process that includes augmentation and pruning.
Recent research suggests incorporating increased model pre-training into the pruning process to address the issues of efficiency and deployment requirements for large language models under limited reasoning budgets. This paper advocates integrating previously often overlooked increased model pre-training into the structured pruning pipeline to build an integrated system. The study aims to answer two key questions: first, whether it is worth increasing the model pre-training even if the model is not ultimately deployed; second, how to optimize this increased-pre training and pruning process.
