Consider including small and compressed language models as candidates?

[GeneZC]

Along the development of small language models, compressed language models play crucial roles as well.

Typical representatives (in time order) would be:

1. sheared-llama (https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.06694), which is a pruned language model from llama.
2. minima (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.07052), which is a distilled language model from llama.
3. gemma-2-2b (https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.00118), which is a distilled language model.
4. minitron-4b (https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.11796), which is a distilled language model from llama.
   etc.

I believe including discussions related to above small language models would make this survey even stronger : )

Thanks for your valuable suggestion! We will continue to update our survey and include discussions on compressed language models in future versions.
