Apple ML Research scales flow maps for faster language generation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple Machine Learning Research has published a paper detailing advancements in scaling Categorical Flow Maps (CFMs) for language modeling. The research team successfully trained a 1.7 billion parameter flow model on 2.1 trillion tokens and distilled it into a CFM capable of generating diverse, high-quality text in as few as 4 inference steps. This approach maintains near-data-level token entropy and shows promise for discrete data generation, addressing previous limitations in scalability. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and faster text generation models, potentially impacting how language models are trained and deployed.

    Scaling Categorical Flow Maps

    Continuous diffusion and flow matching models could represent a powerful alternative to autoregressive approaches for language modelling (LM), as they unlock a host of advantages currently reserved for continuous modalities, including accelerated sampling and tilting. Recently, s…
