• Prefill-Only Pruning (POP) achieves up to 1.37× speedup in prefill latency with minimal performance loss.result 90%
• Deep layers in large models are critical for next-token prediction (decode) but largely redundant for context encoding (prefill).technical 85%
• Existing structured pruning methods often suffer from significant accuracy degradation.limitation 80%
• POP effectively overcomes the accuracy-efficiency trade-off limitations of existing structured pruning methods.result 80%
• POP uses a stage-aware inference strategy that safely omits deep layers during prefill while retaining the full model for decode.method 90%
• The method requires independent Key-Value (KV) projections to maintain cache integrity when transitioning between prefill and decode stages.technical 85%
• The method may require customized modifications depending on specific hardware or model architectures, limiting immediate applicability across all platforms.limitation 75%
• POP was validated on models including Llama-3.1, Qwen3-VL, and Gemma-3 across diverse modalities.result 85%
