Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers are central to frontier language models, and recent architectures push toward more and smaller experts. In this regime, the standard linear router b…
Is Code Better Than Language for Algorithmic Reasoning
Terry Tong, Yu Feng, Surbhi Goel +1
For tool-augmented language models, comparing natural-language reasoning with code-execution pipelines is difficult because the comparison changes both the intermediate representat…
In Good GRACEs: Principled Teacher Selection for Knowledge Distillation
Abhishek Panigrahi, Bingbin Liu, Sadhika Malladi +2
Knowledge distillation is an efficient strategy to use data generated by large "teacher" language models to train smaller capable "student" models, but selecting the optimal teache…
Progressive distillation induces an implicit curriculum
Abhishek Panigrahi, Bingbin Liu, Sadhika Malladi +2
Knowledge distillation leverages a teacher model to improve the training of a student model. A persistent challenge is that a better teacher does not always yield a better student,…
