Title: PATCH: Learnable Tile-level Hybrid Sparsity for LLMs
Abstract:
arXiv:2509.23410v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) deliver impressive performance but incur prohibitive memory and compute costs at deployment. Model pruning is an effective way to reduce these overheads, yet existing approaches face challenges: unstructured sparsity, where nonzeros can appear anywhere, preserves accuracy but yields irregular access patterns that prevent GPU acceleration, while semi-structured 2:4 sparsity is hardware-friendly but enforces a r
