Rewriting Scaling Laws for Synthetic Data with Compute and Data Constraints

Nicholas Roberts, Ahmed Ahmed, Suhas Kotha +4

Synthetic rewrites, where a language model rewrites a natural document e.g. into a target style, are now a standard ingredient of pretraining corpora. However, critical aspects of…

Data-efficient pre-training by scaling synthetic megadocs

Konwoo Kim, Suhas Kotha, Yejin Choi +3

Synthetic data augmentation has emerged as a promising solution when pre-training is constrained by data rather than compute. We study how to design synthetic data algorithms that…

Pre-training under infinite compute

Konwoo Kim, Suhas Kotha, Percy Liang +1

Since compute grows much faster than web text available for language model pre-training, we ask how one should approach pre-training under fixed data and no compute constraints. We…

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…

Eliciting Language Model Behaviors with Investigator Agents

Xiang Lisa Li, Neil Chowdhury, Daniel D. Johnson +4

Language models exhibit complex, diverse behaviors when prompted with free-form text, making it difficult to characterize the space of possible outputs. We study the problem of beh…

Auditing Prompt Caching in Language Model APIs

Chenchen Gu, Xiang Lisa Li, Rohith Kuditipudi +2

Prompt caching in large language models (LLMs) results in data-dependent timing variations: cached prompts are processed faster than non-cached prompts. These timing differences in…

PERSONA: A Reproducible Testbed for Pluralistic Alignment

Louis Castricato, Nathan Lile, Rafael Rafailov +2

The rapid advancement of language models (LMs) necessitates robust alignment with diverse user values. However, current preference optimization approaches often fail to capture the…

On the Learnability of Watermarks for Language Models

Chenchen Gu, Xiang Lisa Li, Percy Liang +1

Watermarking of language model outputs enables statistical detection of model-generated text, which can mitigate harms and misuses of language models. Existing watermarking strateg…
