• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel LLM-Neo framework that efficiently transfers knowledge from a large language model (LLM) teacher to a compact student. Initially, we revisit the knowledge distillation (KD) and low-rank adaption (LoRA), and argue that they share the same paradigm. Inspired by this observation, we explore the strategy that combines LoRA and KD to enhance the efficiency of knowledge transfer. We first summarize some guidelines for this design and further develop the LLM-Neo. Experimental results on compressing Llama 2 and Llama 3 show that LLM-Neo outperforms various baselines. Further analysis demonstrates the robustness of the proposed LLM-Neo on variants of LoRA. The trained models have been available at \href{https://huggingface.co/collections/yang31210999/llm-neo-66e3c882f5579b829ff57eba}{this repository}.

  We propose a novel framework to transfer knowledge from l-MLLM to s-MLLM. Specifically, we introduce Multimodal Distillation (MDist) to minimize the divergence between the visual-textual output distributions of l-MLLM and s-MLLM. We also propose a three-stage training scheme to fully exploit the potential of s-MLLM.

  In this work, we do not propose a new efficient model structure or train small-scale MLLMs from scratch. Our studies involve training strategies, model choices, and distillation algorithms in the knowledge distillation process. By evaluating different benchmarks and proper strategy, even a 2.7B small-scale model can perform on par with larger models with 7B or 13B parameters.

  TinyLLM is a new knowledge distillation paradigm to learn a small student LLM from multiple large teacher LLMs. We introduce an in-context example generator and a teacher-forcing Chain-of-Thought strategy to ensure that the rationales are accurate and grounded in contextually appropriate scenarios. Results show that TinyLLM can outperform large teacher LLMs significantly, despite a considerably smaller model size.

  This paper introduces the notion of knowledge fusion for large language models (LLMs) We externalize their collective knowledge and unique strengths, thereby elevating the capabilities of the target model beyond those of any individual source LLM. Our findings confirm that the fusion of LLMs can improve the performance of the target model across a range of capabilities such as reasoning, commonsense, and code generation.
