arXiv:2607. 22577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling large language models (LLMs) has driven their success, yet dense Transformers couple capacity and computation: every parameter is activated for every token, making training and inference costs grow linearly with model size-a critical bottleneck as models approach trillion-parameter regimes.

arXiv:2607. 11052v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning progress is often attributed to scaling model size and dataset volume, yet the composition of data can be just as consequential.
