Developed core features for the zabojeb/mts-fast-llms repository, focusing on efficient large language model experimentation. Built a Knowledge Distillation Framework with a custom DistillationTrainer and loss function, enabling end-to-end student-teacher training with integrated metric tracking. Designed and implemented a comprehensive LLM Pruning Framework supporting magnitude-based, structured, and random pruning, including iterative workflows and post-pruning calibration to optimize model size and performance. Improved repository structure by adding research notebook and main script placeholders, and performed file cleanup to enhance maintainability. Leveraged Python, PyTorch, and Hugging Face Transformers, emphasizing reproducible training, model optimization, and streamlined onboarding for future development.
July 2025 performance summary for zabojeb/mts-fast-llms: Key features delivered include a Knowledge Distillation Framework with a DistillationTrainer class and distillation_loss function, enabling end-to-end student-teacher training with training/validation loops and metric tracking. A comprehensive LLM Pruning Framework was added, supporting magnitude-based, structured, and random pruning with iterative application and post-pruning calibration to reduce model size and compute while preserving accuracy. Repository scaffolding and cleanup were completed, including a research notebook placeholder and a main script placeholder, along with cleanup of unused files to improve onboarding and maintainability. No major customer-reported bugs were identified; internal stability and code hygiene improvements were implemented to reduce technical debt and improve reliability of experimentation. Overall impact: accelerated experimentation with distillation and pruning workflows, improved model efficiency, and a cleaner, more maintainable codebase. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python, training loop design, custom loss functions, distillation techniques, multiple pruning strategies, iterative pruning workflows, post-pruning calibration, and project scaffolding.
