Locality-Aware Redundancy Pruning for LLM Depth Compression

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.27786v1 Announce Type: cross Large language models are known to contain representational redundancy across network depth, making depth pruning an effective approach for improving inference efficiency. Existing one-shot pruning methods rely on local layer importance or fixed redundancy assumptions across architectures. We propose Locality-Aware Redundancy Pruning (LoRP), a
