Researchers have developed a new method for adaptive compression in edge-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. This approach dynamically adjusts compression levels based on workload variations and the real-time state of edge devices, such as the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor. Experiments with Llama and Qwen models on Natural Questions and HotpotQA datasets demonstrated that intermediate compression can significantly reduce SoC energy consumption by up to 48.2% with minimal impact on inference quality.
