Evaluation Protocols for Compressed Large Language Models: What Works, What Doesn’t, and How to Get It Right
Compressed LLMs can look perfect on perplexity scores but fail in real use. Learn the three evaluation pillars-size, speed, substance-and the benchmarks (LLM-KICK, EleutherAI) that actually catch silent failures before deployment.

Transformer Pre-Norm vs Post-Norm Architectures: Which One Powers Modern LLMs?
Pre-Norm and Post-Norm are two ways to structure layer normalization in Transformers. Pre-Norm powers most modern LLMs because it trains stably at 100+ layers. Post-Norm works for small models but fails at scale.
