Daniil Tiapkin, Daniele Calandriello, Johan Ferret +4
Post-training of language models (LMs) increasingly relies on the following two stages: (i) knowledge distillation, where the LM is trained to imitate a larger teacher LM, and (ii)…
Diversity-Rewarded CFG Distillation
Geoffrey Cideron, Andrea Agostinelli, Johan Ferret +5
Generative models are transforming creative domains such as music generation, with inference-time strategies like Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) playing a crucial role. However, CF…
BOND: Aligning LLMs with Best-of-N Distillation
Pier Giuseppe Sessa, Robert Dadashi, Léonard Hussenot +17
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is a key driver of quality and safety in state-of-the-art large language models. Yet, a surprisingly simple and strong inference-t…
