AI Analysis

Nous Research published a paper on Token Superposition Training - a method that groups tokens into bags, averages embeddings, and uses multi-hot cross-entropy loss for first 20-40% of training before reverting to standard next-token prediction. Claims 2-2.5x pretraining speedup with equivalent final model quality.

What if you could train LLMs 2-3x faster without changing the final model at all? Most of that money goes into processing one token at a time, billions of times over. Nous Research published a paper introducing Token Superposition Training. It's a drop-in method that cuts pretraining time by up to 2.5x. Here's how it works: > Group contiguous tokens into bags > Average their embeddings together > Predict the next bag jointly > Use multi-hot cross-entropy as loss > Revert to normal trai
