Key point
The framework compresses Nemotron 3.5 Super from 120B to 74B parameters while retaining 95% of its mean benchmark score.
Details
- AutoCompress is a hardware-guided compression framework that incorporates latency, throughput, and memory constraints directly into differentiable architecture search.
- It outperforms the Minitron pruning framework by 6.57, 2.35, and 0.57 percentage points on average accuracy across eight benchmarks on RTX 5070, RTX 5080, and H100 GPUs, respectively.
- The system compresses Nemotron 3.5 Super from 120B to 74B parameters for single-B200 BF16 serving at 128K context, retaining 95% of the original model's mean benchmark score.
- Unlike existing workflows that target parameter counts, AutoCompress jointly optimizes global and per-layer structure to produce heterogeneous architectures guided by serving-engine cost models.
- Evaluation covers long-context local coding, batched datacenter serving, and latency-sensitive in-game interaction workloads.
