Researcher proposes direct LLM weight transfer to cut pre-training time

A Reddit user is exploring a novel research direction for large language models (LLMs) that could drastically reduce pre-training time. The core idea is to develop an algorithm that can directly adjust the weights of an untrained model using mathematical operations, enabling it to mimic a trained model's function in minutes rather than the extensive time required for current methods like knowledge distillation. The user is seeking guidance and collaboration on this concept. AI

IMPACT Could significantly accelerate LLM development and deployment if successful.
