Shang Yang

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at HAN LAB of MIT EECS, advised by Prof. Song Han. Before that, I received my Bachelor degree with highest honor from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University, China, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yu Wang.

My long-term goal is to build efficient machine learning systems for applications at different scales, especially the Large Language Models (LLMs). Recently, I am activately working on the quantization of LLMs.

TinyChat: Large Language Model on the Edge

Running large language models (LLMs) on the edge is of great importance. In this blog, we introduce TinyChat, an efficient and lightweight system for LLM deployment on the edge. It runs Meta's latest LLaMA-2 model at 30 tokens / second on NVIDIA Jetson Orin and can easily support different models and hardware.

TinyChat: Visual Language Models & Edge AI 2.0

Explore the latest advancement in TinyChat and AWQ - the integration of Visual Language Models (VLM) on the edge! The exciting advancements in VLM allows LLMs to comprehend visual inputs, enabling seamless image understanding tasks like caption generation, question answering, and more. With the latest release, TinyChat now supports leading VLMs such as VILA, which can be easily quantized with AWQ, empowering users with seamless experience for image understanding tasks.
