Beyond Cosine Decay: On the effectiveness of Infinite Learning Rate Schedule for Continual Pre-training
Vaibhav Singh, Paul Janson, Paria Mehrbod +4
The ever-growing availability of unlabeled data presents both opportunities and challenges for training artificial intelligence systems. While self-supervised learning (SSL) has em…
Why Has Predicting Downstream Capabilities of Frontier AI Models with Scale Remained Elusive?
Rylan Schaeffer, Hailey Schoelkopf, Brando Miranda +6
Predicting changes from scaling advanced AI systems is a desirable property for engineers, economists, governments and industry alike, and, while a well-established literature exis…
Zyda: A 1.3T Dataset for Open Language Modeling
Yury Tokpanov, Beren Millidge, Paolo Glorioso +4
The size of large language models (LLMs) has scaled dramatically in recent years and their computational and data requirements have surged correspondingly. State-of-the-art languag…
Zamba: A Compact 7B SSM Hybrid Model
Paolo Glorioso, Quentin Anthony, Yury Tokpanov +4
In this technical report, we present Zamba, a novel 7B SSM-transformer hybrid model which achieves competitive performance against leading open-weight models at a comparable scale.…
Simple and Scalable Strategies to Continually Pre-train Large Language Models
Adam Ibrahim, Benjamin Thérien, Kshitij Gupta +5
Large language models (LLMs) are routinely pre-trained on billions of tokens, only to start the process over again once new data becomes available. A much more efficient solution i…
Continual Pre-Training of Large Language Models: How to (re)warm your model?
Kshitij Gupta, Benjamin Thérien, Adam Ibrahim +5
Large language models (LLMs) are routinely pre-trained on billions of tokens, only to restart the process over again once new data becomes available. A much cheaper and more effici…
ARbis Pictus: A Study of Language Learning with Augmented Reality
Adam Ibrahim, Brandon Huynh, Jonathan Downey +3
This paper describes "ARbis Pictus" --a novel system for immersive language learning through dynamic labeling of real-world objects in augmented reality. We describe a within-subje…
