Finding the Minimal Parameter Budget for Implicit Reasoning: A Data Complexity Driven Scaling Law for Language Models
Xinyi Wang, Shawn Tan, Shenbo Xu +4
Reasoning is a core capability of language models (LMs), yet it remains unclear how much model capacity is necessary to support reasoning during pretraining. In this work, we study…
PaTH Attention: Position Encoding via Accumulating Householder Transformations
Songlin Yang, Yikang Shen, Kaiyue Wen +5
The attention mechanism is a core primitive in modern large language models (LLMs) and AI more broadly. Since attention by itself is permutation-invariant, position encoding is ess…
TOUCAN: Synthesizing 1.5M Tool-Agentic Data from Real-World MCP Environments
Zhangchen Xu, Adriana Meza Soria, Shawn Tan +4
Large Language Model (LLM) agents are rapidly emerging as powerful systems for automating tasks across domains. Yet progress in the open-source community is constrained by the lack…
Scaling Stick-Breaking Attention: An Efficient Implementation and In-depth Study
Shawn Tan, Songlin Yang, Aaron Courville +2
The self-attention mechanism traditionally relies on the softmax operator, necessitating positional embeddings like RoPE, or position biases to account for token order. But current…
Granite Vision: a lightweight, open-source multimodal model for enterprise Intelligence
Granite Vision Team, Leonid Karlinsky, Assaf Arbelle +60
We introduce Granite Vision, a lightweight large language model with vision capabilities, specifically designed to excel in enterprise use cases, particularly in visual document un…
API Pack: A Massive Multi-Programming Language Dataset for API Call Generation
Zhen Guo, Adriana Meza Soria, Wei Sun +2
We introduce API Pack, a massive multi-programming language dataset containing over one million instruction-API calls for improving the API call generation capabilities of large la…
