Shrinking Multimodal Models Without Losing Power

Leveraging Attention Sparsity for Extreme Model Compression

CASP introduces a breakthrough compression technique for Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) that exploits the natural sparsity in attention matrices to achieve extreme compression ratios.

  • Capitalizes on inherent attention sparsity in multimodal inputs to enable more aggressive compression
  • Implements low-rank decomposition and optimal bit allocation techniques for efficient compression
  • Achieves up to 32x compression while maintaining model performance
  • Enables deployment of powerful LMMs on resource-constrained devices

This engineering innovation addresses critical challenges in deploying large AI models in real-world applications, reducing computational costs while preserving functionality.
