Transformers recall context well, but their compute cost and KV cache grow quickly with sequence length. State space models such as Mamba run cheaply but recall poorly. Earlier hybrids stacked the two layer types one after another, so a weak layer… 2. **[LLM Pruning and Distillation in Practice: The Minitron Approach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sreenivas-2024-llm-pruning-distillation-practice-minitron/)** *(2024 · 44 citations)* Minitron-style compression trains only the largest model in a family and derives smaller ones by structured pruning followed by knowledge distillation. ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ameya Sunil Mahabaleshwarkar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ameya-sunil-mahabaleshwarkar/) ×2 - [Shizhe Diao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shizhe-diao/) ×2 - [Yoshi Suhara](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yoshi-suhara/) ×2 - [Jan Kautz](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jan-kautz/) - [Jiaqi Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaqi-zeng/) - [Xin Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-dong/) - [Yingyan Celine Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yingyan-celine-lin/) - [Yonggan Fu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yonggan-fu/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 89 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [19 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zijia-chen/cited-by/).
