Prefix Sliding for efficient test-time scaling
Niklas Muennighoff, Zhengyang Wang, Zeyi Chen +15
Test-time scaling uses extra test-time compute to improve performance, such as letting language models reason longer when solving a problem. As models keep the entire reasoning tra…
ATLAS: Adaptive Transfer Scaling Laws for Multilingual Pretraining, Finetuning, and Decoding the Curse of Multilinguality
Shayne Longpre, Sneha Kudugunta, Niklas Muennighoff +6
Scaling laws research has focused overwhelmingly on English -- yet the most prominent AI models explicitly serve billions of international users. In this work, we undertake the lar…
FlexOlmo: Open Language Models for Flexible Data Use

We introduce FlexOlmo, a new class of language models (LMs) that supports (1) distributed training without data sharing, where different model parameters are independently trained…
Crosslingual Reasoning through Test-Time Scaling
Zheng-Xin Yong, M. Farid Adilazuarda, Jonibek Mansurov +7
Reasoning capabilities of large language models are primarily studied for English, even when pretrained models are multilingual. In this work, we investigate to what extent English…
s1: Simple test-time scaling
Niklas Muennighoff, Zitong Yang, Weijia Shi +7
Test-time scaling is a promising new approach to language modeling that uses extra test-time compute to improve performance. Recently, OpenAI's o1 model showed this capability but…
MMTEB: Massive Multilingual Text Embedding Benchmark
Kenneth Enevoldsen, Isaac Chung, Imene Kerboua +83
Text embeddings are typically evaluated on a limited set of tasks, which are constrained by language, domain, and task diversity. To address these limitations and provide a more co…
LLM-as-an-Interviewer: Beyond Static Testing Through Dynamic LLM Evaluation
Eunsu Kim, Juyoung Suk, Seungone Kim +3
We introduce LLM-as-an-Interviewer, a novel paradigm for evaluating large language models (LLMs). This approach leverages multi-turn interactions where the LLM interviewer actively…
SWE-bench Multimodal: Do AI Systems Generalize to Visual Software Domains?
John Yang, Carlos E. Jimenez, Alex L. Zhang +10
Autonomous systems for software engineering are now capable of fixing bugs and developing features. These systems are commonly evaluated on SWE-bench (Jimenez et al., 2024a), which…
OLMoE: Open Mixture-of-Experts Language Models
Niklas Muennighoff, Luca Soldaini, Dirk Groeneveld +21
We introduce OLMoE, a fully open, state-of-the-art language model leveraging sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE). OLMoE-1B-7B has 7 billion (B) parameters but uses only 1B per input to…
Consent in Crisis: The Rapid Decline of the AI Data Commons
Shayne Longpre, Robert Mahari, Ariel Lee +46
General-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) systems are built on massive swathes of public web data, assembled into corpora such as C4, RefinedWeb, and Dolma. To our knowledge, we…
Scaling Laws with Vocabulary: Larger Models Deserve Larger Vocabularies
Chaofan Tao, Qian Liu, Longxu Dou +5
Research on scaling large language models (LLMs) has primarily focused on model parameters and training data size, overlooking the role of vocabulary size. We investigate how vocab…
BRIGHT: A Realistic and Challenging Benchmark for Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval
Hongjin Su, Howard Yen, Mengzhou Xia +12
Existing retrieval benchmarks primarily consist of information-seeking queries (e.g., aggregated questions from search engines) where keyword or semantic-based retrieval is usually…
RegMix: Data Mixture as Regression for Language Model Pre-training
Qian Liu, Xiaosen Zheng, Niklas Muennighoff +5
The data mixture for large language model pre-training significantly impacts performance, yet how to determine an effective mixture remains unclear. We propose RegMix to automatica…
The Scandinavian Embedding Benchmarks: Comprehensive Assessment of Multilingual and Monolingual Text Embedding
Kenneth Enevoldsen, Márton Kardos, Niklas Muennighoff +1
The evaluation of English text embeddings has transitioned from evaluating a handful of datasets to broad coverage across many tasks through benchmarks such as MTEB. However, this…
SEACrowd: A Multilingual Multimodal Data Hub and Benchmark Suite for Southeast Asian Languages
Holy Lovenia, Rahmad Mahendra, Salsabil Maulana Akbar +58
Southeast Asia (SEA) is a region rich in linguistic diversity and cultural variety, with over 1,300 indigenous languages and a population of 671 million people. However, prevailing…
Lessons from the Trenches on Reproducible Evaluation of Language Models
