Researchers have developed a new post-training method for multi-token prediction (MTP) in language models that significantly reduces the computational cost compared to traditional joint training. This technique allows a frozen reasoning model to achieve comparable or even better throughput speeds on benchmarks like math and coding, using drastically fewer training tokens. The method includes a chain-aware relaxation of the draft token verification rule to allow bounded drift from the backbone distribution, and an adaptive controller to dynamically adjust the number of MTP heads during inference, recovering speedup losses.
