Researchers have developed PACE, a novel compression framework specifically designed for native multimodal large language models (native MLLMs). Unlike previous methods that targeted ViT-based models, PACE addresses the unique challenges of ViT-free native MLLMs, which directly tokenize pixel patches and can suffer from significant visual token redundancy. PACE analyzes token discriminability and cross-dimensional redundancy to optimize compression, achieving near-lossless performance with only 25%-50% visual token retention. This approach results in over a 2x reduction in FLOPs, enhancing efficiency without compromising accuracy. AI
IMPACT This research could significantly improve the efficiency of native multimodal LLMs, enabling wider deployment and faster inference.
