MediSwift-XL Sparse Model Outperforms Dense Competitor
By
–
(4/n) At 75% sparsity, MediSwift-XL outperforms the dense MediSwift-Med, despite having the same non-embedding parameters. This highlights the advantages of training larger but sparse models over smaller, densely parameterized models.

MediSwift Trained on Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster
By
–
(5/n) MediSwift was trained in three sizes (Med, Large, and XL), with dense and sparse variants, on a Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster with only a few configuration changes. Cerebras makes it easy to experiment and train production-ready models. Contact us to learn how we can help

MediSwift Achieves 75% Sparsity, Reduces Training FLOPs by 2.5x
By
–
(2/n) MediSwift capitalizes on our most recent innovations in sparsity, inducing up to 75% unstructured weight sparsity during in-domain pre-training on biomedical texts. This results in a 2-2.5x reduction in the required training FLOPs. Blog: https://

Dense Fine-Tuning Boosts MediSwift Biomedical Task Performance
By
–
(3/n) Dense fine-tuning and soft prompting enhance the performance of sparsely pre-trained MediSwift models on biomedical tasks (e.g., PubMedQA). This ensures high accuracy, thereby improving the efficiency-accuracy Pareto frontier. Pubmed QA leaderboard: https://
