Nandan Nagapati Bhat, Andhe Dharani · International Journal of Engineering Research Updates · 2024
Optimizing the efficiency and scalability of Large Language Models (LLMs) is crucial for advancing Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. This paper explores various optimization techniques for enhancing LLMs, focusing on strategies that improve computational efficiency and model scalability. The paper provides a comparative analysis of these techniques by evaluating their impact on key performance metrics, such as training time, memory usage, and inference speed. Through rigorous experimentation, our optimized model demonstrated a 30% reduction in training time and a 25% decrease in memory consumption, while maintaining competitive accuracy levels. The integration of these optimization techniques into a comprehensive framework facilitates enhanced operational efficiency and resource utilization. The findings underscore the significant benefits of adopting optimization strategies in LLMs, offering a valuable approach for improving the performance and scalability of NLP applications.
