• Abstract summary: We introduce LiveMind, a novel low-latency inference framework for large language model (LLM) inference. By reallocating computational processes to the input phase, a substantial reduction in latency is achieved. The framework adeptly manages the visibility of the streaming input to the model, allowing it to infer from incomplete user input or await additional content.

• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce LiveMind, a novel low-latency inference framework for large language model (LLM) inference which enables LLMs to perform inferences with incomplete user input. By reallocating computational processes to the input phase, a substantial reduction in latency is achieved, thereby significantly enhancing the interactive experience for users of LLMs. The framework adeptly manages the visibility of the streaming input to the model, allowing it to infer from incomplete user input or await additional content. Compared with traditional inference methods on complete user input, our approach demonstrates an average reduction in response latency of 84.0% on the MMLU dataset and 71.6% on the MMLU-Pro dataset, while maintaining comparable accuracy. Additionally, our framework facilitates collaborative inference and output across different models. By employing an large LLM for inference and a small LLM for output, we achieve an average 37% reduction in response latency, alongside a 4.30% improvement in accuracy on the MMLU-Pro dataset compared with the baseline. The proposed LiveMind framework advances the field of human-AI interaction by enabling more responsive and efficient communication between users and AI systems.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise for human-like conversations but are primarily pre-trained on text data. We propose a Fusion Low Rank Adaptation (FLoRA) technique that efficiently adapts a pre-trained unimodal LLM to consume new, previously unseen modalities. For device-directed speech detection, using FLoRA, the multimodal LLM achieves 22% relative reduction in equal error rate (EER) over the text-only approach.
