arXiv:2608. 11361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tokenizer vocabulary size is a foundational design choice in large language model (LLM) infrastructure, yet it is typically fixed at training time based on convention rather than deployment analysis.
arXiv:2511. 20849v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a new tokenizer for language models that minimizes the average tokens per character, thereby reducing the number of tokens needed to represent text during training and to generate text during inference.
arXiv:2606. 00516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixed batching (MB)--interleaving prefill and decode in a single batch--has become the standard scheduling strategy for large language model (LLM) inference due to its efficiency in maximizing compute and memory utilization.
arXiv:2608. 10605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In large-scale pretraining, the algorithm, architecture, and systems decisions are conventionally made in disconnected stages.
In large-scale pretraining, the algorithm, architecture, and systems decisions are conventionally made in disconnected stages. A scaling law stage selects an architecture and training recipe, optimizing loss under compute constraints, and a separate systems stage then optimizes the implementation for hardware efficiency.
arXiv:2606. 10706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Resource constraints increasingly determine what can be trained, fine-tuned, and deployed in large language models (LLMs), yet efficiency is often studied through isolated techniques rather than as an interacting system of limits.
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:2504. 11320v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models now serve millions of users daily, with providers incurring costs exceeding $700,000 per day.
arXiv:2606. 27743v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) inference is typically deployed under a static resource assumption, where models execute a fixed computational graph regardless of the runtime environment.
arXiv:2607. 15232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A tokenizer fixed at the start of pre-training allocates vocabulary in proportion to the pre-training corpus, reflecting the deployment priorities at that time.
arXiv:2607. 05876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM serving optimization typically benchmarks many configurations and reaches for heavy profilers when latency targets are missed.
arXiv:2608. 12385v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As large language models serve ever more requests, cumulative inference cost is growing relative to the one-time cost of training.
arXiv:2607. 04206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising a masked response and can commit multiple output positions per model invocation.
