IronLLM: Forging Compact Edge-Native Language Models for Real-Time Embodied Intelligence

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.36860v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present IronLLM-0.6B, a 654M-parameter language model designed for efficient on-device inference. IronLLM-0.6B combines a hybrid attention architecture with X-MTP, a lightweight shared-KV multi-token prediction design that eliminates per-depth KV-cache replay and employs a lightweight verification head for rollback-free drafting, achieving a 1.48x decoding speedup. The model is pretrained on approximately 6.2 trillion tokens using a quality-oriented data pipeline and is further post-trained with Multi-Domain On-Policy Distillation to integrate capabilities from domain-specialized teachers. To better meet the low-latency requirements of on-device scenarios, IronLLM-0.6B adopts an Instruct-Only design. Evaluations show that IronLLM-0.6B achi
