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…
Scalable Training of Mixture-of-Experts Models with Megatron Core
Zijie Yan, Hongxiao Bai, Xin Yao +42
Scaling Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) training introduces systems challenges absent in dense models. Because each token activates only a subset of experts, this sparsity allows total pa…
WARM-3D: A Weakly-Supervised Sim2Real Domain Adaptation Framework for Roadside Monocular 3D Object Detection
Xingcheng Zhou, Deyu Fu, Walter Zimmer +4
Existing roadside perception systems are limited by the absence of publicly available, large-scale, high-quality 3D datasets. Exploring the use of cost-effective, extensive synthet…
Vibe-Eval: A hard evaluation suite for measuring progress of multimodal language models
Piotr Padlewski, Max Bain, Matthew Henderson +19
We introduce Vibe-Eval: a new open benchmark and framework for evaluating multimodal chat models. Vibe-Eval consists of 269 visual understanding prompts, including 100 of hard diff…
