NCP-ArchPreview Technical Report: Moving towards Latent Space Language Models through Next Concept Prediction
NCP Team, Jiaqi Cao, Chiyu Chen +25
We introduce NCP-ArchPreview, a latent-space language model that pushes autoregressive pretraining beyond standard next-token prediction (NTP). Alongside NTP, the model learns thro…

Next Concept Prediction in Discrete Latent Space Leads to Stronger Language Models
Yuliang Liu, Yunchong Song, Yixuan Wang +6
We propose Next Concept Prediction (NCP), a generative pretraining paradigm built on top of Next Token Prediction (NTP). NCP predicts discrete concepts that span multiple tokens, t…
