Periodic Weak Spots: Phase Sensitivity from Chunked KV-Cache Compression
Xingyu Zhu, Pu, Yi +6
Chunked KV-cache compression reduces the memory and attention costs of long-context inference by compressing windows of consecutive tokens into fewer cache entries at a fixed strid…
LLMs as Noisy Channels: A Shannon Perspective on Model Capacity and Scaling Laws
Xu Ouyang, Deyi Liu, Yuhang Cai +5
Existing scaling laws for Large Language Models (LLMs), predominantly monotonic power laws, fail to explain emerging non-monotonic phenomena such as catastrophic overtraining and q…
SPARKLING: Balancing Signal Preservation and Symmetry Breaking for Width-Progressive Learning
Qifan Yu, Xinyu Ma, Zhijian Zhuo +7
Progressive Learning (PL) reduces pre-training computational overhead by gradually increasing model scale. While prior work has extensively explored depth expansion, width expansio…
Coupling Experts and Routers in Mixture-of-Experts via an Auxiliary Loss
Ang Lv, Jin Ma, Yiyuan Ma +1
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models lack explicit constraints to ensure the router's decisions align well with the experts' capabilities, which ultimately limits model performance. To…
Virtual Width Networks
Seed, Baisheng Li, Banggu Wu +115
We introduce Virtual Width Networks (VWN), a framework that delivers the benefits of wider representations without incurring the quadratic cost of increasing the hidden size. VWN d…
GatePro: Parameter-Free Expert Selection Optimization for Mixture-of-Experts Models
Chen Zheng, Yuhang Cai, Deyi Liu +7
Modern large language models leverage Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures for efficient scaling, but face a critical challenge: functionally similar experts are often selected s…
Balanced Actor Initialization: Stable RLHF Training of Distillation-Based Reasoning Models
Chen Zheng, Yiyuan Ma, Yuan Yang +11
The development of alignment and reasoning capabilities in large language models has seen remarkable progress through two paradigms: instruction tuning and reinforcement learning f…
Model Merging in Pre-training of Large Language Models
Yunshui Li, Yiyuan Ma, Shen Yan +23
Model merging has emerged as a promising technique for enhancing large language models, though its application in large-scale pre-training remains relatively unexplored. In this pa…
MegaScale-MoE: Large-Scale Communication-Efficient Training of Mixture-of-Experts Models in Production
Chao Jin, Ziheng Jiang, Zhihao Bai +16
We present MegaScale-MoE, a production system tailored for the efficient training of large-scale mixture-of-experts (MoE) models. MoE emerges as a promising architecture to scale l…
Seed1.5-Thinking: Advancing Superb Reasoning Models with Reinforcement Learning
ByteDance Seed, :, Jiaze Chen +267
We introduce Seed1.5-Thinking, capable of reasoning through thinking before responding, resulting in improved performance on a wide range of benchmarks. Seed1.5-Thinking achieves 8…
FlexPrefill: A Context-Aware Sparse Attention Mechanism for Efficient Long-Sequence Inference
Xunhao Lai, Jianqiao Lu, Yao Luo +2
Large language models (LLMs) encounter computational challenges during long-sequence inference, especially in the attention pre-filling phase, where the complexity grows quadratica…
