The paper proposes a theoretical framework for scheduling high‑quality data in large language model training by extending functional scaling laws to account for time‑varying data quality. It identifies two regimes—noise‑limited and signal‑limited—where high‑quality data should be used differently, and introduces a Drop‑Stable‑Rampup training schedule that adjusts batch size at the quality transition. Experiments on 15B MoE and 600M dense models show significant accuracy gains over conventional decay schedules across multiple benchmarks.

The paper reports the development of 2‑bit microkernels for CPUs and mixed‑precision 2‑bit kernels for Intel Xe2 GPUs, achieving near‑roofline performance. Integrated into LLM inference pipelines, these kernels deliver up to 7× speedup over 16‑bit inference on CPUs and 6.7× on GPUs, surpassing the current state‑of‑the‑art bitnet.cpp runtime by 2.2×. The work demonstrates that ultra‑low‑bit LLM models can be deployed efficiently, offering significant gains in latency, memory, throughput, and energy consumption.

arXiv:2511. 11346v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-token prediction (MTP) is a prominent strategy to significantly speed up generation in large language models (LLMs), especially in byte-level LLMs, which are tokeniser-free but prohibitively slow.
