Improve Large Language Model Systems with User Logs

arXiv:2602. 06470v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling training data and model parameters has long driven progress in large language models (LLMs), but this paradigm is increasingly constrained by the scarcity of high-quality data and diminishing returns from rising computational costs.

LK Losses: Direct Acceptance Rate Optimization for Speculative Decoding

arXiv:2602. 23881v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive large language model (LLM) inference by using a lightweight draft model to propose candidate tokens that are then verified in parallel by the target model.

Turning Off-Policy Tokens On-Policy: A Plug-in Approach for Improving LLM Alignment

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training for large language models (LLMs) follows a efficient paradigm of "rollout then update", which inevitably results in off-policy training data. To resolve this, Importance sampling (IS) is proposed, while the token-level ratios compound over long sequences, causing severe variance exploded.
