SOAP, Muon, and Beyond: Pushing LLM Pretraining Scales
Mikail Khona, Aditya Vavre, Boxiang Wang +11
Higher-order optimizers such as Muon and SOAP offer faster convergence than AdamW, but their computational cost and numerical stability challenges have limited adoption at scale. I…
Nemotron 3 Super: Open, Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model for Agentic Reasoning
NVIDIA, :, Aakshita Chandiramani +544
We describe the pre-training, post-training, and quantization of Nemotron 3 Super, a 120 billion (active 12 billion) parameter hybrid Mamba-Attention Mixture-of-Experts model. Nemo…
Quantization-Aware Distillation for NVFP4 Inference Accuracy Recovery
Meng Xin, Sweta Priyadarshi, Jingyu Xin +26
This technical report presents quantization-aware distillation (QAD) and our best practices for recovering accuracy of NVFP4-quantized large language models (LLMs) and vision-langu…
ParetoQ: Improving Scaling Laws in Extremely Low-bit LLM Quantization
Zechun Liu, Changsheng Zhao, Hanxian Huang +13
The optimal bit-width for achieving the best trade-off between quantized model size and accuracy has been a subject of ongoing debate. While some advocate for 4-bit quantization, o…
SpinQuant: LLM quantization with learned rotations
Zechun Liu, Changsheng Zhao, Igor Fedorov +6
Post-training quantization (PTQ) techniques applied to weights, activations, and the KV cache greatly reduce memory usage, latency, and power consumption of Large Language Models (…
InterroGate: Learning to Share, Specialize, and Prune Representations for Multi-task Learning
Babak Ehteshami Bejnordi, Gaurav Kumar, Amelie Royer +3
Jointly learning multiple tasks with a unified model can improve accuracy and data efficiency, but it faces the challenge of task interference, where optimizing one task objective…
