VainF/Torch-Pruning

• highreadme#1

  Strengthen README's opening statement to highlight LLM and advanced structural pruning

  Why:

  CURRENT

  Torch-Pruning (TP) is a framework for structural pruning with the following features: General-purpose Pruning Toolkit:** TP enables structural pruning for a wide range of deep neural networks. Different from torch.nn.utils.prune that zeroizes parameters via masking, Torch-Pruning deploys an algorithm called ⚡ **DepGraph** to group and remove coupled parameters.

  Torch-Pruning (TP) is a state-of-the-art framework for **structural pruning of large language models (LLMs)** and a wide range of deep neural networks. Unlike simple parameter masking, TP leverages ⚡ **DepGraph** to automatically identify and remove coupled parameters, enabling advanced model compression beyond traditional methods.

  ## Comparison with Alternatives
  
  Torch-Pruning (TP) stands out from other model compression tools by focusing on **dependency-aware structural pruning**. While `torch.nn.utils.prune` applies parameter masks, TP uses ⚡ DepGraph to automatically restructure and rebuild models after pruning, ensuring functional integrity. Unlike broader toolkits such as Hugging Face Optimum, DeepSpeed, or TensorFlow Model Optimization Toolkit, TP provides a specialized, fine-grained control over structural pruning, particularly effective for complex architectures including LLMs and Vision Foundation Models.
