CodeShrink framework boosts MLLM efficiency for code understanding

Researchers have developed CodeShrink, a novel framework designed to make multimodal large language models (MLLMs) more efficient when processing source code. This system employs three key components: Blank-Free Rendering to eliminate tokens from whitespace, Adaptive Compression Configuration using reinforcement learning to optimize settings per input, and Dominant Token Selection to prune irrelevant visual tokens. Evaluations show CodeShrink can reduce visual token usage by up to 71.2% while maintaining or improving performance on tasks like code question answering, clone detection, and code completion, outperforming existing text-based and visual compression methods.
