Introducing Slimmable NAM: Neural Amp Models with adjustable runtime computational cost
I'm excited to share a paper I've recently completed: "Slimmable NAM: Slimmable NAM: Neural Amp Models with adjustable runtime computational cost" The paper was accepted for the 2025 NeurIPS workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Music: Where Creativity Meets Computation ; I'll be presenting it in 2 weeks in San Diego. In the meantime, anyone can access it here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.07470 . A video demonstrating the method as well as open-source code and a demo plugin
