Researchers have developed Lighthouse Attention, a new training-only mechanism designed to significantly accelerate the pre-training of large language models, particularly those handling long sequences. This hierarchical approach reportedly reduces AI training time by up to 70% and offers a 1.7x speed increase. Developed by Nous Research, the method aims to improve efficiency without compromising model quality. AI
