Mixture-of-Transformers: A Sparse and Scalable Architecture for Multi-Modal Foundation Models
Weixin Liang, Lili Yu, Liang Luo +8
The development of large language models (LLMs) has expanded to multi-modal systems capable of processing text, images, and speech within a unified framework. Training these models…
Transfusion: Predict the Next Token and Diffuse Images with One Multi-Modal Model
Chunting Zhou, Lili Yu, Arun Babu +7
We introduce Transfusion, a recipe for training a multi-modal model over discrete and continuous data. Transfusion combines the language modeling loss function (next token predicti…
In-context Pretraining: Language Modeling Beyond Document Boundaries
Weijia Shi, Sewon Min, Maria Lomeli +9
Large language models (LMs) are currently trained to predict tokens given document prefixes, enabling them to directly perform long-form generation and prompting-style tasks which…
Instruction-tuned Language Models are Better Knowledge Learners
Zhengbao Jiang, Zhiqing Sun, Weijia Shi +6
In order for large language model (LLM)-based assistants to effectively adapt to evolving information needs, it must be possible to update their factual knowledge through continued…
Megalodon: Efficient LLM Pretraining and Inference with Unlimited Context Length
Xuezhe Ma, Xiaomeng Yang, Wenhan Xiong +7
The quadratic complexity and weak length extrapolation of Transformers limits their ability to scale to long sequences, and while sub-quadratic solutions like linear attention and…
