Prefix Sliding for efficient test-time scaling

Niklas Muennighoff, Zhengyang Wang, Zeyi Chen +15

Test-time scaling uses extra test-time compute to improve performance, such as letting language models reason longer when solving a problem. As models keep the entire reasoning tra…

Anchored Self-Play for Code Repair

Caroline Choi, Zeyneb Kaya, Shirley Wu +3

Code repair is an important capability for language models (LMs): given a buggy program and unit tests, an LM must produce a fixed program that passes the tests. Because code repai…

Raon-OpenTTS: Open Models and Data for Robust Text-to-Speech

Semin Kim, Seungjun Chung, Taehong Moon +8

Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) models show impressive speech naturalness and quality, yet the role of large-scale open data in driving this progress remains underexplored.…

Reusing Pre-Training Data at Test Time is a Compute Multiplier

Alex Fang, Thomas Voice, Ruoming Pang +2

Large language models learn from their vast pre-training corpora, gaining the ability to solve an ever increasing variety of tasks; yet although researchers work to improve these d…

OpenThoughts: Data Recipes for Reasoning Models

Etash Guha, Ryan Marten, Sedrick Keh +47

Reasoning models have made rapid progress on many benchmarks involving math, code, and science. Yet, there are still many open questions about the best training recipes for reasoni…

Datasets, Documents, and Repetitions: The Practicalities of Unequal Data Quality

Alex Fang, Hadi Pouransari, Matt Jordan +4

Data filtering has become a powerful tool for improving model performance while reducing computational cost. However, as large language model compute budgets continue to grow, the…

Project Alexandria: Towards Freeing Scientific Knowledge from Copyright Burdens via LLMs

Christoph Schuhmann, Gollam Rabby, Ameya Prabhu +9

Paywalls, licenses and copyright rules often restrict the broad dissemination and reuse of scientific knowledge. We take the position that it is both legally and technically feasib…

Resolving Discrepancies in Compute-Optimal Scaling of Language Models

Tomer Porian, Mitchell Wortsman, Jenia Jitsev +2

Kaplan et al. and Hoffmann et al. developed influential scaling laws for the optimal model size as a function of the compute budget, but these laws yield substantially different pr…

DataComp-LM: In search of the next generation of training sets for language models

Jeffrey Li, Alex Fang, Georgios Smyrnis +56

We introduce DataComp for Language Models (DCLM), a testbed for controlled dataset experiments with the goal of improving language models. As part of DCLM, we provide a standardize…

Language models scale reliably with over-training and on downstream tasks

Samir Yitzhak Gadre, Georgios Smyrnis, Vaishaal Shankar +22

Scaling laws are useful guides for derisking expensive training runs, as they predict performance of large models using cheaper, small-scale experiments. However, there remain gaps…

Data Filtering Networks

Alex Fang, Albin Madappally Jose, Amit Jain +3

Large training sets have become a cornerstone of machine learning and are the foundation for recent advances in language modeling and multimodal learning. While data curation for p…

Beyond the Imitation Game: Quantifying and extrapolating the capabilities of language models

Aarohi Srivastava, Abhinav Rastogi, Abhishek Rao +448

Language models demonstrate both quantitative improvement and new qualitative capabilities with increasing scale. Despite their potentially transformative impact, these new capabil…
