arXiv:2606. 29139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how the next-token prediction of an autoregressive Transformer language model changes under small perturbations of earlier input token embeddings.

arXiv:2606. 29158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-rate transfer can reduce the cost of training large language models: instead of sweeping learning rates at target scale, practitioners extrapolate from smaller runs.

arXiv:2607. 22757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Graded Large Language Models (GLLMs), an algebraic framework that equips the representation space of a transformer with a grading and propagates the induced weighted scalar action through embeddings, self-attention, and the training objective.

arXiv:2602. 03685v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training large language models (LLMs) is computationally expensive, partly because the loss exhibits slow power-law convergence whose origin remains debatable.
By Yizhou Liu, Ziming Liu, Cengiz Pehlevan, Jeff Gore
arXiv:2607. 25271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classical compute-optimal scaling laws assume an unbounded supply of fresh pretraining data, yet pretraining is increasingly entering a regime in which compute grows faster than the availability of high-quality data.

arXiv:2606. 25008v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural scaling laws describe how pre-training loss decays as power laws with training time, model size, and compute.
By Yizhou Liu, Jeff Gore
arXiv:2601. 05280v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: On the one hand, the question of whether large language models (LLMs) are Solomonoff induction estimators has become an explicit question at the intersection of Algorithmic Information Theory (AIT) and Machine Learning (ML) of great interest.

arXiv:2512. 24780v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural networks trained with standard objectives exhibit behaviors characteristic of probabilistic inference: soft clustering, prototype specialization, and Bayesian uncertainty tracking.
By Alan Oursland
arXiv:2406. 14340v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization method, as well as adaptive methods such as the Adam optimizer fail to converge if the learning rates do not converge to zero (particularly, in the situation of constant learning rates).
By Steffen Dereich, Arnulf Jentzen, Adrian Riekert
arXiv:2606. 06888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical scaling laws for language model pretraining balance model size against training dataset size under a fixed compute budget, assuming abundant data and a single pass over the corpus.

arXiv:2602. 07488v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the fact that experimental neural scaling laws have substantially guided empirical progress in large-scale machine learning, no existing theory can quantitatively predict the exponents of these important laws for any modern LLM trained on any natural language dataset.

arXiv:2606. 15327v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have demonstrated strong scaling capacity as alternatives to autoregressive language models.
