Speculative decoding accelerates exact sampling from large autoregressive models by 2-3x on T5-XXL by running smaller approximation models in parallel to propose token sequences that the large model then verifies in batches while preserving the original output distribution.

Phenaki generates arbitrary-length videos from sequences of text prompts by tokenizing videos with causal temporal attention and generating tokens with a text-conditioned masked transformer, trained jointly on images and videos.
PaLI jointly scales a 4B-parameter vision transformer with language models on a new 10B multilingual image-text dataset to reach state-of-the-art results on vision-language tasks while keeping a simple modular design.
UniVL unifies vision and language into one mask-rendered input processed by an OCR backbone to condition diffusion models for spatially grounded image generation without a standalone text encoder.
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.
Uptraining multi-head transformer checkpoints to grouped-query attention models achieves near multi-head quality at multi-query inference speeds using 5% additional compute.
The Flan Collection demonstrates that task balancing, data enrichment, and mixed prompt training are critical to effective instruction tuning, yielding stronger Flan-T5 models released publicly.
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.
PaLM 540B demonstrates continued scaling benefits by setting new few-shot SOTA results on hundreds of benchmarks and outperforming humans on BIG-bench.
Gemma introduces open 2B and 7B LLMs derived from Gemini technology that beat comparable open models on 11 of 18 text tasks and come with safety assessments.
Empirical tests on 118 transformers show success falling from 88.1% at 512 tokens to 0% at 2048 tokens, with compressed models achieving 649.2 tokens/sec/M parameters versus 12.5 for large generative ones.
Gemma 2 models achieve leading performance at their sizes by combining established Transformer modifications with knowledge distillation for the 2B and 9B variants.
