DIP: Efficient Large Multimodal Model Training with Dynamic Interleaved Pipeline
Zhenliang Xue, Hanpeng Hu, Xing Chen +7
Large multimodal models (LMMs) have demonstrated excellent capabilities in both understanding and generation tasks with various modalities. While these models can accept flexible c…
Efficient Long-context Language Model Training by Core Attention Disaggregation
Yonghao Zhuang, Junda Chen, Bo Pang +6
We present core attention disaggregation (CAD), a technique that improves long-context large language model training by decoupling the core attention computation, softmax(QK^T)V, f…
Step-Audio 2 Technical Report
Boyong Wu, Chao Yan, Chen Hu +106
This paper presents Step-Audio 2, an end-to-end multi-modal large language model designed for industry-strength audio understanding and speech conversation. By integrating a latent…
NextStep-1: Toward Autoregressive Image Generation with Continuous Tokens at Scale
NextStep Team, Chunrui Han, Guopeng Li +47
Prevailing autoregressive (AR) models for text-to-image generation either rely on heavy, computationally-intensive diffusion models to process continuous image tokens, or employ ve…
Step-3 is Large yet Affordable: Model-system Co-design for Cost-effective Decoding
StepFun, :, Bin Wang +195
Large language models (LLMs) face low hardware efficiency during decoding, especially for long-context reasoning tasks. This paper introduces Step-3, a 321B-parameter VLM with hard…
StreamRL: Scalable, Heterogeneous, and Elastic RL for LLMs with Disaggregated Stream Generation
Yinmin Zhong, Zili Zhang, Xiaoniu Song +11
Reinforcement learning (RL) has become the core post-training technique for large language models (LLMs). RL for LLMs involves two stages: generation and training. The LLM first ge…
