Hugging Face highlights a research approach that treats transformer block removal in large language models as a constrained binary optimization problem. By mapping block selection to an Ising glass, the method uses pairwise block interactions to predict pruning quality and reports strong results on Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct at 50% compression.
