arXiv:2606. 14971v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While large and diverse datasets have driven recent advances in large models, identifying the optimal data mixture for pre-training and post-training remains a significant open problem.

arXiv:2607. 22769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The training efficacy of large language models (LLMs) is fundamentally constrained by the quality and composition of training data.

arXiv:2606. 16246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI labs approach a data ceiling where compute capacity outpaces the rate of new high-quality text generation, language model pretraining is shifting toward a data-constrained, compute-abundant regime that demands productive multi-epoch training on fixed corpora.

arXiv:2606. 07597v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pre-training data mixtures are commonly tuned by running small-scale experiments and extrapolating to the target training budget.

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.
