LLM Micro Optimizer

This tool fine-tunes LLMs specifically for microcontroller deployment by pruning redundant weights, compressing embeddings, and applying distillation techniques. It ensures the model remains performant while reducing size and complexity.

What It Does

  • Supports optimization levels: low and high.
  • Optional distillation using a dataset.
  • Saves the optimized model to a specified path.

Installation

Install the required dependencies using pip:

pip install torch transformers scipy

Usage

Run the tool from the command line:

python llm_micro_optimizer.py --model_path <path_to_model> \
                              --optimization_level <low|high> \
                              --save_path <path_to_save_model> \
                              [--distillation_dataset <path_to_dataset>]

Arguments

  • --model_path: Path to the PyTorch model file to optimize.
  • --optimization_level: Optimization level (low or high).
  • --save_path: Path to save the optimized model.
  • --distillation_dataset: (Optional) Path to the dataset for distillation.
