Sakana AI and NVIDIA Introduce TwELL with CUDA Kernels for 20.5% Inference and 21.9% Training Speedup in LLMs

May 11, 2026IBM

Event Summary

Sakana AI and NVIDIA Researchers demonstrate that simple L1 regularization can induce over 99% sparsity in feedforward layers with negligible downstream performance impact, and translate that sparsity into real GPU throughput gains using new sparse data formats and fused CUDA kernels.
