Unlock the Power of LLaMA-CC: A Compact yet Mighty LLM Variant

While many in the AI community are familiar with established Large Language Models (LLMs) like LLaMA and BERT, there's a hidden gem worth exploring: LLaMA-CC. This compact and cache-friendly variant of the original LLaMA model offers a unique architecture, making it an ideal choice for edge AI applications, mobile devices, and other resource-constrained environments.

What sets LLaMA-CC apart?

Compared to its predecessor, LLaMA-CC boasts a significantly reduced model size, achieved through a clever combination of knowledge distillation and pruning techniques. This slimmed-down design not only reduces memory requirements but also enhances model efficiency, leading to faster inference times and lower energy consumption.

Cache-Friendly Architecture

The innovative architecture of LLaMA-CC is designed with cache efficiency in mind, leveraging the CPU's Level 3 cache to accelerate computation. By minimizing c...
