SQ-format: A New Hardware-Friendly Data Format for Efficient LLMs

This research introduces SQ-format, a novel data format designed to improve the efficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs) on hardware. The paper likely focuses on the benefits of sparse and quantized data representations for reducing computational and memory requirements.

• •SQ-format is designed to optimize LLMs for hardware efficiency.
• •The format likely leverages sparse and quantized data representations.
• •This could lead to reduced computational costs and memory usage for LLMs.
