Byte-level hierarchical language models (LMs) have recently emerged as a robust alternative to their popular counterparts that use subword tokenization. However, generating one byte at a time remains...
arXiv:2606. 27550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-token prediction has been shown to increase data density during training, improve downstream text-generation quality, and serves as the defacto approach for self-speculative decoding.

arXiv:2605. 08696v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Over the last two decades, language modeling has experienced a shift from the use of predominantly recurrent architectures that process tokens sequentially during training and inference to non-recurrent models that process sequence elements in parallel during training, which results in greater training efficiency and stability at the expense of lower inference throughput.
