2/ We measured loss, accuracy, throughput, and GPU energy.
Energy and carbon: no measurable difference across strategies (15 passes, 2.6 W band, 69.7 g CO₂e total).
Merging's win is infrastructure consolidation, not "greener" AI.
1/ Presented "Merge, Measure, Correct" at #IEEEUEMCON 2026 in NYC with Stephen McGill (@Villanova).
Can per-domain adapters collapse into one model without losing accuracy? We compared linear, TIES, and DARE merging. 🧵
Heading to #UEMCON2026 in Armonk, NY (Oct 7–9) to present "Merge, Measure, Correct": QLoRA weight-space merging on Llama-3-8B-Instruct.

New paper: "When Parallel Isn't Faster" — we benchmarked ClinicalBERT across SLURM HPC clusters and found more parallel workers ≠ faster inference. Presenting at IEEE HealthCom (AI e-Health) this Oct. Link soon.

@VivekRkGupta The processing is based on the prompts and the tokens per transaction and if the agents are orchestrated efficiently (correct foundation models, RAG pipeline, efficient prompts) the results will be further interesting to see. I am working on a research project and paper…
Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV - from Mendel Field to St. Peter’s Square, may your journey continue to inspire. I am holding my fellow Villanovan in my prayers as he begins his papacy.
