New multi-byte prediction speeds up hierarchical language models

Researchers have developed a new method called multi-byte prediction (MBP) to accelerate the inference speed of byte-level hierarchical language models. MBP generates multiple bytes in parallel, building upon the multi-token prediction (MTP) paradigm with innovations like a variable-length prediction window and a novel attention-masking scheme. This approach allows for parallel byte prediction without compromising causality, striking a Pareto-optimal balance between performance and inference throughput across various generative tasks including instruction following, question answering, summarization, and machine translation.

    Dynamic Multi-Byte Prediction With Hierarchical Language Models

    Byte-level hierarchical language models (LMs) have recently emerged as a robust alternative to their popular counterparts that use subword tokenization. However, generating one byte at a time remains a bottleneck for inference speed. To address this, we introduce multi-byte predi…
