Model Overview
This model, LiamCarter/icl-pruning-wanda-sparsity-0.2, is a 7 billion parameter variant derived from the meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf base model. It incorporates the Wanda pruning method with a specified sparsity of 0.2. This indicates that the model has undergone a compression technique designed to reduce its size and computational requirements by removing a fraction of its parameters.
