End-to-End Context Compression at Scale
Ang Li, Sean McLeish, Haozhe Chen +12
Long-context language model inference is bottlenecked by memory, as the KV cache grows with context length. Recent techniques to compress the KV cache fall short: they either degra…
Multi-Token Prediction via Self-Distillation
John Kirchenbauer, Abhimanyu Hans, Brian Bartoldson +3
Existing techniques for accelerating language model inference, such as speculative decoding, require training auxiliary speculator models and building and deploying complex inferen…
Teaching Pretrained Language Models to Think Deeper with Retrofitted Recurrence
Sean McLeish, Ang Li, John Kirchenbauer +7
Recent advances in depth-recurrent language models show that recurrence can decouple train-time compute and parameter count from test-time compute. In this work, we study how to co…
The Common Pile v0.1: An 8TB Dataset of Public Domain and Openly Licensed Text
Nikhil Kandpal, Brian Lester, Colin Raffel +24
Large language models (LLMs) are typically trained on enormous quantities of unlicensed text, a practice that has led to scrutiny due to possible intellectual property infringement…
STAR-1: Safer Alignment of Reasoning LLMs with 1K Data
Zijun Wang, Haoqin Tu, Yuhan Wang +6
This paper introduces STAR-1, a high-quality, just-1k-scale safety dataset specifically designed for large reasoning models (LRMs) like DeepSeek-R1. Built on three core principles…
Speculative Diffusion Decoding: Accelerating Language Generation through Diffusion
Jacob K Christopher, Brian R Bartoldson, Tal Ben-Nun +3
Speculative decoding has emerged as a widely adopted method to accelerate large language model inference without sacrificing the quality of the model outputs. While this technique…
Decoding Compressed Trust: Scrutinizing the Trustworthiness of Efficient LLMs Under Compression
Junyuan Hong, Jinhao Duan, Chenhui Zhang +12
Compressing high-capability Large Language Models (LLMs) has emerged as a favored strategy for resource-efficient inferences. While state-of-the-art (SoTA) compression methods boas…
NEFTune: Noisy Embeddings Improve Instruction Finetuning
Neel Jain, Ping-yeh Chiang, Yuxin Wen +10
We show that language model finetuning can be improved, sometimes dramatically, with a simple augmentation. NEFTune adds noise to the embedding vectors during training. Standard fi…
