Details
Cloudflare has unveiled Unweight. It compresses LLM weights in a lossless way, reducing model size by 15~22% while maintaining output accuracy.
- Based on Llama-3.1-8B, compressing only the MLP weights on an Nvidia H100 saved about 3GB of VRAM.
- The GPU kernels have been open-sourced on GitHub, along with a technical paper.
- Going forward, they plan to expand the compression scope to include attention weights as well.
