The Fast Gemma Challenge: our verified-SOTA recipe, in full
Blog post from Hugging Face
VIDRAFT's participation in The Fast Gemma Challenge involved optimizing inference speed on Google's hardware using software techniques while maintaining quality standards. The challenge, hosted by Google Gemma and Hugging Face, focused on maximizing throughput per second (TPS) with the constraint of not exceeding a set perplexity level (PPL 2.42). VIDRAFT's configuration achieved a verified TPS of 510.58 with a PPL of 2.3930, prioritizing quality retention over absolute speed, as faster runs exceeded quality thresholds and failed verification. Their approach included a public, reproducible configuration, highlighting the collaborative nature of the challenge, where shared community assets and insights played a crucial role in pushing performance boundaries. The team expressed gratitude for the collaborative environment and encouraged further experimentation and adaptation across different hardware platforms, underscoring a commitment to efficient model serving on constrained hardware.
