Mamba is a linear-time sequence model using input-dependent selective SSMs that achieves SOTA results across modalities and matches twice-larger Transformers on language modeling with 5x higher inference throughput.
Pythia releases 16 identically trained LLMs with full checkpoints and data tools to study training dynamics, scaling, memorization, and bias in language models.
Transformers and SSMs are unified through structured state space duality, producing a 2-8X faster Mamba-2 model that remains competitive with Transformers.
LoRA adapters should be scaled by 1/sqrt(rank) rather than 1/rank to stabilize learning and enable effective use of higher ranks during fine-tuning of large language models.
GAIA benchmark shows humans at 92% accuracy on simple real-world questions far outperform current AI systems at 15%, proposing this gap as a key milestone for general AI.
C-Pack releases a new Chinese embedding benchmark, large training dataset, and optimized models that outperform priors by up to 10% on C-MTEB while also delivering English SOTA results.
WizardLM uses LLM-driven iterative rewriting to generate complex instruction data and fine-tunes LLaMA to reach over 90% of ChatGPT capacity on 17 of 29 evaluated skills.
Training per-layer affine probes on frozen transformers yields more reliable latent predictions than the logit lens and enables detection of malicious inputs from prediction trajectories.
LLM.int8() performs 8-bit inference for transformers up to 175B parameters with no accuracy loss by combining vector-wise quantization for most features with 16-bit mixed-precision handling of systematic outlier dimensions.
Multitask fine-tuning of an encoder-decoder model on prompted datasets produces zero-shot generalization that often beats models up to 16 times larger on standard benchmarks.
CCQ adds a curvature-based query contraction to linear attention backbones, improving perplexity, retrieval, and long-context performance on GLA and Gated DeltaNet at low extra cost.
X-GRAM applies data-aware dynamic token injection with hybrid hashing and local feature extraction to achieve up to 4.4 accuracy point gains over vanilla backbones and 3.2 over retrieval baselines at 0.73B-1.15B scales using 50% smaller tables.
A two-stage distillation recipe converts a Pythia-1B Transformer into a Mamba model that preserves performance with perplexity 14.11 versus the teacher's 13.86.
Falcon-180B is a 180B-parameter open decoder-only model trained on 3.5 trillion tokens that approaches PaLM-2-Large performance at lower cost and is released with dataset extracts.
Continued pretraining of Code Llama on Proof-Pile-2 yields Llemma, an open math-specialized LLM that beats known open base models on MATH and supports tool use plus formal proving out of the box.
FastGen adaptively compresses LLM KV caches via lightweight attention profiling: evicting long-range contexts on local heads, non-special tokens on special-token heads, and retaining full caches on broad-attention heads, yielding substantial memory savings with negligible quality loss.
H2O evicts non-heavy-hitter tokens from the KV cache using a dynamic submodular policy, retaining recent and frequent-co-occurrence tokens to reduce memory while preserving accuracy.
Properly filtered web data from CommonCrawl alone trains LLMs that significantly outperform models trained on The Pile, with 600 billion tokens and 1.3B/7.5B parameter models released.
BLOOM is a 176B-parameter open-access multilingual language model trained on the ROOTS corpus that achieves competitive performance on benchmarks, with improved results after multitask prompted finetuning.
GPT-NeoX-20B is a publicly released 20B parameter autoregressive language model trained on the Pile that shows strong gains in five-shot reasoning over similarly sized prior models.
LoRA-FA freezes LoRA's A matrix and trains only B with gradient corrections to approximate full fine-tuning gradients more closely.
StarCoderBase matches or beats OpenAI's code-cushman-001 on multi-language code benchmarks; the Python-fine-tuned StarCoder reaches 40% pass@1 on HumanEval while retaining other-language performance.
Baichuan 2 presents 7B and 13B LLMs trained on 2.6T tokens that match or exceed similar open models on MMLU, CMMLU, GSM8K, HumanEval and excel in medicine and law.
