“UltraFastBERT”, apparently a variant of BERT, that uses only 0.3% of it’s neurons during inference, is performing on par with similar BERT models.

I hope that’s going to be available for all kinds of models in the near future!

    I don’t think so (unfortunately). The model size doesn’t change, only the way it is traversed.

      Can this technique be combined with lora with a not so low rank? Lora increases the learning time (I heard) but this should be no problem then anymore :)
