DeepSeek-V2-Lite-MoNE-48-c4-1000

This repository contains a structured pruned variant of DeepSeek-V2-Lite using the MoNE (Mixture-of-Novice Experts) framework proposed in our paper.

*## Model Overview

Base Model: DeepSeek-V2-Lite
Method: MoNE structured expert pruning
Remaining Experts: 48
Calibration Set: c4-1000
Architecture: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE)
Framework: Transformers-compatible

This checkpoint replaces redundant experts with lightweight novice experts via structured pruning, aiming to reduce compute while preserving performance.
