A comprehensive study on PPT spanning five PPT tasks, four PT data mixtures, four parameter scales (500M to 7B), and PT budgets of up to 100B tokens finds that downstream gains arise from PPT tasks that improve long-range retrieval.

This paper proposes MultiHashFormer, a new framework that allows hash-based autoregression that consistently outperforms standard Transformer LMs across multiple benchmarks and shows that the model handles multilingual vocabulary expansion with a constant parameter footprint without any modifications.
This paper initializes byte embeddings directly from the subword representations of a frozen base model, applies a chunk alignment loss to project dynamically grouped byte chunks toward precomputed subword targets, and interleave lightweight part-of-speech supervision to guide boundary detection.
