Rope to Nope and Back Again: A New Hybrid Attention Strategy

NeurIPS 2025poster

Long-context large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable advancements, driven by techniques like Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) (Su et al., 2023) and its extensions (Chen et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2024c; Peng et al., 2023). By adjusting RoPE parameters and incorporating training data wit…

BAM! Just Like That: Simple and Efficient Parameter Upcycling for Mixture of Experts

NeurIPS 2024poster

Mixture of Experts (MoE) framework has become a popular architecture for large language models due to its superior performance compared to dense models. However, training MoEs from scratch in a large-scale regime is prohibitively expensive. Previous work addresses this challenge by independently tra…

SnapKV: LLM Knows What You are Looking for Before Generation

NeurIPS 2024poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) have made remarkable progress in processing extensive contexts, with the Key-Value (KV) cache playing a vital role in enhancing their performance. However, the growth of the KV cache in response to increasing input length poses challenges to memory and time efficiency. T…

Intriguing Properties of Quantization at Scale

NeurIPS 2023poster

Emergent properties have been widely adopted as a term to describe behavior not present in smaller models but observed in larger models (Wei et al., 2022a). Recent work suggests that the trade-off incurred by quantization is also an emergent property, with sharp drops in performance in models over…
