Telescopic Language Models
The TLM architecture introduces a novel approach to capacity scaling in language models by training at multiple depths simultaneously. This could enable more efficient model training and deployment, particularly for resource-constrained environments. Researchers and developers working on model efficiency and scaling should explore how this nested-capacity approach might be applied to their own architectures.
Telescopic Language Models (TLM) are nested-capacity Transformers supervised by stochastic prefix supervision with a full anchor.
At each training step, one randomly truncated prefix of the capacity axis is trained against the full next-token target.
The model maintains validity as a language model at every depth through this approach.
Telescopic Language Models
"We train a Telescopic Language Model (TLM) to be that continuum: a nested-capacity Transformer supervised by stochastic prefix supervision with a full anchor. At every step, one randomly truncated prefix of the capacity axis is trained against the full next-token target, alongside one full-capacity pass, so the trained artifact is a valid language model at every depth."
