Low-precision Flash Attention fails due to similar low-rank attention representations combined with biased rounding errors that accumulate and corrupt weight updates; a minimal fix to reduce rounding bias stabilizes training.
AGoQ delivers up to 52% lower memory use and 1.34x faster training for 8B-32B LLaMA models by using near-4-bit adaptive activations and 8-bit gradients while preserving pretraining convergence and downstream accuracy.
StoSignSGD resolves SignSGD divergence on non-smooth objectives via structural stochasticity, matching optimal convex rates and improving non-convex bounds while delivering 1.44-2.14x speedups in FP8 LLM pretraining.
AdaHOP applies pattern-aware Hadamard transforms and selective outlier extraction to enable from-scratch MXFP4 training of LLMs at BF16 quality with up to 3.6X memory compression and 1.46X speedup.
BOOST delivers 1.46-2.27x end-to-end speedups for low-rank bottleneck LLMs by redesigning tensor parallelism around the bottleneck structure plus supporting optimizations.
Orthogonal growth recycles pre-trained MoE checkpoints via layer copying and noisy expert duplication, delivering 10.6% higher accuracy than training from scratch with equivalent extra compute.
NVILA improves on VILA with a scale-then-compress visual token strategy and full-lifecycle efficiency optimizations, matching or exceeding leading VLMs on image and video benchmarks while reducing training cost 1.9-5.1x and latencies 1.2-2.8x.
