StepPrune: Adaptive Sequential Visual Token Selection across Multimodal Large Language Models

Visual prefixes account for a major portion of the per-layer computation in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), making visual-token pruning a direct approach to accelerating inference. Existing top-K methods typically evaluate tokens independently and apply a uniform budget to all inputs, overlooking both selecti...

DiffPrune: differentiable information throttling for token pruning in vision-language models

DiffPrune is proposed, which gives token scores a direct meaning and implements an Information Throttler, which injects variance-preserving noise into visual tokens, where high-score tokens remain close to their original representations, while low-score tokens carry less original information.
