LLM-Pruning Collection: A JAX Based Repo For Structured And Unstructured LLM Compression

Zlab Princeton researchers have released LLM-Pruning Collection, a JAX based repository that consolidates major pruning algorithms for large language models into a single, reproducible framework. It targets one concrete goal, make it easy to compare block level, layer level and weight level pruning methods under a consistent training and evaluation stack on both GPUs and […]

DeepSeek Researchers Apply a 1967 Matrix Normalization Algorithm to Fix Instability in Hyper Connections

DeepSeek researchers are trying to solve a precise issue in large language model training. Residual connections made very deep networks trainable, hyper connections widened that residual stream, and training then became unstable at scale. The new method mHC, Manifold Constrained Hyper Connections, keeps the richer topology of hyper connections but locks the mixing behavior on
