Summary

• What is new: Exploration of deploying large language models (LLMs) at the 6G mobile edge computing (MEC) systems to overcome current challenges in cloud-based deployments.
• Why this is important: Critical challenges in cloud-based deployment of LLMs include long response time, high bandwidth costs, and data privacy concerns.
• What the research proposes: Deploying LLMs at the 6G edge with innovative techniques such as split learning/inference, parameter-efficient fine-tuning, quantization, and parameter-sharing inference.
• Results: Outlines a potential framework for 6G MEC architecture for LLMs and discusses techniques for efficient deployment at the edge, considering resource limitations.
