New TriSP method significantly prunes LLMs while maintaining performance

Researchers have developed TriSP, a novel structured pruning method for large language models that aims to reduce their computational and memory costs. TriSP combines weight magnitude, activation norm, and gradient sensitivity to create a channel-level importance score. When paired with adaptive layer budget allocation and LoRA recovery, TriSP demonstrated superior performance on the LLaMA-7B model, achieving lower perplexity and higher accuracy while significantly improving inference throughput.
