This project aims to pioneer advancements in the energy-efficient Generative AI models (GenAI), focusing on achieving faster inference times and reduced model sizes without compromising performance and increasing carbon emissions.
As GenAI becomes increasingly central to a wide range of applications, from generating images to generating videos and music, their computational demand and the time required for training and inference have escalated. This research seeks to address these challenges by developing innovative techniques for efficiency, including architectural innovations, compression strategies, algorithmic improvements, and system level optimizations.
