RTPrune boosts DeepSeek-OCR inference speed by 1.23x with novel token pruning

Researchers have developed RTPrune, a novel two-stage token pruning method designed to enhance the efficiency of DeepSeek-OCR inference. This method mimics the model's two-stage reading process, first prioritizing high-norm tokens for salient information and then merging remaining tokens using optimal transport theory. RTPrune also incorporates a dynamic pruning ratio tailored for OCR tasks, achieving a superior balance between accuracy and efficiency. AI
