NinaXander: Feasibility and Limits of Composing Frozen Language Models Across Architecture Families via a Shared Latent Space
TL;DR
NinaXander is a novel approach that connects layers of frozen language models from different architectures using a shared latent adapter. While it reduces the Transformer key-value cache significantly, it does not match the performance of the original models in multiple-choice tasks.
✦ Why It Matters
Consider experimenting with model composition to optimize resource usage in your AI applications.
Key Takeaways
- Explore model composition to reduce resource consumption.
- Test different layer combinations for optimal performance.
- Evaluate the impact of domain-specific data on model accuracy.
- Investigate shared latent spaces for potential model interoperability.
How It Works
NinaXander connects layers of frozen language models by using a shared-latent adapter, which transforms intermediate representations between different architectures. This allows for the first layers of one model to be run, followed by the remaining layers of another, facilitating the combination of diverse model capabilities.
