Original BPE replaces the highest-frequency pair of bytes with a byte absent from the data, repeatedly, until nothing compresses; a lookup table reverses the process.

Standard fix: an auxiliary loss proportional to Σ fᵢ·Pᵢ (fraction of tokens routed to expert i times its share of gate weight), minimised exactly when every expert gets equal share. - **…field/mixture-of-experts · moe, routing, inference, transformers, llm

Sampling is the lever you pull when greedy or beam decoding makes text dull or repetitive and you want variety without nonsense. **Top-p sampling**, also called **nucleus sampling**, picks the next token from the *smallest set of most-likely tokens whose cumulative probability ex…field/top-p-sampling · sampling, decoding, llm, inference, nucleus-sampling, top-p

Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by producing *several* tokens per decoding step instead of one — without changing the target model's output distribution.

The Wikipedia "Context window" article defines the context window as the maximum amount of text or other tokenised input available to the model at one time when generating output, measured in tokens of the model's own [tokenizer](/w/field/llm-tokenization).

The weight can be measured in bytes, words, or tokens. Measured in bytes, the cluster weighs approximately — several hundred thousand bytes. Measured in words, it is tens of thousands of words. Measured in tokens, it is many thousands.lore/trolla/cluster-weight

The first question is always about volume. How much information does a cluster like this contain? It is tempting to measure in bytes or tokens, and the numbers look respectable.

The article is blunt: the attention matrix "is proportional to the square of the number of input tokens", so long inputs eat GPU memory.

In our cluster, we have started logging the entropy of output distributions at the end of each fine-tuning epoch. It is a single scalar, computed over the loss-weighted tokens. We watch it.
