Summary
TopK-Guided introduces an adaptive, budget-aware activation sparsity method that improves large language model inference by selectively zeroing unimportant activations. This approach balances the trade-offs of existing methods by tightly controlling sparsity levels per token while maintaining compu...

What happened
Activation sparsity speeds up large language model (LLM) inference by setting unimportant activations to zero so that the corresponding computations can be skipped. Existing training-free methods, however, make different trade-offs: threshold-based methods such as TEAL adapt the sparsity level to each token but do...
Why it matters
Efficient LLM inference reduces computational costs and latency, enabling faster and more scalable deployment of large models. Adaptive sparsity methods like TopK-Guided optimize resource use without sacrificing model performance.
