Title: LEAP: Layer-wise Exit-Aware Pretraining for Efficient Transformer Inference
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.01058v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Layer-aligned distillation and convergence-based early exit represent two predominant computational efficiency paradigms for transformer inference; yet we establish that they exhibit systematic incompatibility under standard deployment conditions for convergence-based early exit. Distillation objectives that align intermediate student layers to teacher representations suppress the representational convergence that early-exit mechanisms exploit, r
