Mixture of Training: Recombining Small-Scale Scaffolded Pretraining Runs into a Larger Language Model

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 13277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We ask whether language-model pre-training can be decomposed into smaller, independently trainable jobs that can later be recomposed into a coherent larger model.

cMoLLM at Scale: Horizontal Scaling Laws for Mixture-of-LLMs

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.

Olmo Hybrid: From Theory to Practice and Back

arXiv:2604. 03444v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work has demonstrated the potential of non-transformer language models, especially linear recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and hybrid models that mix recurrence and attention.
