Scaling Data-Constrained Language Models
Niklas Muennighoff, Alexander M. Rush, Boaz Barak +6
The current trend of scaling language models involves increasing both parameter count and training dataset size. Extrapolating this trend suggests that training dataset size may so…
Poro 34B and the Blessing of Multilinguality
Risto Luukkonen, Jonathan Burdge, Elaine Zosa +5
The pretraining of state-of-the-art large language models now requires trillions of words of text, which is orders of magnitude more than available for the vast majority of languag…
Got Compute, but No Data: Lessons From Post-training a Finnish LLM
Elaine Zosa, Ville Komulainen, Sampo Pyysalo
As LLMs gain more popularity as chatbots and general assistants, methods have been developed to enable LLMs to follow instructions and align with human preferences. These methods h…
Aurora-M: Open Source Continual Pre-training for Multilingual Language and Code
Taishi Nakamura, Mayank Mishra, Simone Tedeschi +42
Pretrained language models are an integral part of AI applications, but their high computational cost for training limits accessibility. Initiatives such as Bloom and StarCoder aim…
