### 1. Model Optimization (Model-side)
|
| 25 |
-
- INT8 / INT4 / FP8 / NVFP4 quantization
|
| 26 |
-
- Structured pruning (2:4 sparsity, token pruning)
|
| 27 |
-
- Distillation & lightweight architectures
|
| 28 |
-
|

-
### 2. Deployment & Runtime Optimization (System-side)
|
| 34 |
-
- TensorRT / TensorRT-LLM (NVIDIA Jetson & GPU)
|
| 35 |
-
- ONNX Runtime / OpenVINO / TVM
|
| 36 |
-
- Edge SoC stacks (Qualcomm QNN, LiteRT, ExecuTorch)
|

-
### 3. Real-world Pipelines (Robotics focus)
|
| 43 |
-
- Vision + Language + Action (VLA)
|
| 44 |
-
- Multi-modal inference pipelines
|
| 45 |
-
- Real-time constraints (latency, stability, safety)
|
| 46 |
-
|

## π What actually matters (our philosophy)
|
| 52 |
-
|
| 53 |
-
Model optimization is not one trick β itβs a **full stack problem**:
|
| 54 |
-
|
| 55 |
-
- Weights β memory footprint
|
| 56 |
-
- KV cache β long-context bottleneck
|
| 57 |
-
- Kernels β real latency
|
| 58 |
-
- Scheduling β throughput & stability
|
| 59 |
-
|
| 60 |
-
> The biggest wins usually come from **matching model compression to runtime kernels**, not just applying techniques blindly.
