Data-Centric Lessons To Improve Speech-Language Pretraining
Vishaal Udandarao, Zhiyun Lu, Xuankai Chang +6
Spoken Question-Answering (SQA) is a core capability for useful and interactive artificial intelligence systems. Recently, several speech-language models (SpeechLMs) have been rele…
Apple Intelligence Foundation Language Models: Tech Report 2025
Ethan Li, Anders Boesen Lindbo Larsen, Chen Zhang +395
We introduce two multilingual, multimodal foundation language models that power Apple Intelligence features across Apple devices and services: i a 3B-parameter on-device model opti…
AXLearn: Modular, Hardware-Agnostic Large Model Training
Mark Lee, Chang Lan, Tom Gunter +34
AXLearn is a production system which facilitates scalable and high-performance training of large deep learning models. Compared to other state-of-art deep learning systems, AXLearn…
Talking Turns: Benchmarking Audio Foundation Models on Turn-Taking Dynamics
Siddhant Arora, Zhiyun Lu, Chung-Cheng Chiu +2
The recent wave of audio foundation models (FMs) could provide new capabilities for conversational modeling. However, there have been limited efforts to evaluate these audio FMs co…
TIS-DPO: Token-level Importance Sampling for Direct Preference Optimization With Estimated Weights
Aiwei Liu, Haoping Bai, Zhiyun Lu +9
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has been widely adopted for preference alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) due to its simplicity and effectiveness. However, DPO is deriv…
Apple Intelligence Foundation Language Models
Tom Gunter, Zirui Wang, Chong Wang +152
We present foundation language models developed to power Apple Intelligence features, including a ~3 billion parameter model designed to run efficiently on devices and a large serv…
Direct Large Language Model Alignment Through Self-Rewarding Contrastive Prompt Distillation
Aiwei Liu, Haoping Bai, Zhiyun Lu +5
Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human expectations without human-annotated preference data is an important problem. In this paper, we propose a method to evaluate the re…
