What changed
Jointly trained a prompt-conditioned sparsity predictor and language model to choose structured feed-forward parameter masks, keeping selected parameters fixed for an input or task to reduce repeated weight loading.
Scientific scope
Jointly trained a prompt-conditioned sparsity predictor and language model to choose structured feed-forward parameter masks, keeping selected parameters fixed for an input or task to reduce repeated weight loading. Structured pruning, conditional computation and differentiable top-k have predecessors. Fixed masks trade adaptation granularity for loading efficiency. Original2025 method is distinct from its later flash-resident AFM3 product-system integration; benchmarks do not guarantee equal quality for every task.
