Frontier AI systems are increasingly natively multimodal, jointly pretrained on multiple modalities, such as text, vision, and audio. However, the scientific understanding of the multimodal data mixtures used to pretrain these systems --- how much of each modality to mix, and at what potential interference cost to the...

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become the standard architecture for frontier LLMs. The multiple parallel experts in each transformer block theoretically enable expert specialization according to categories such as domains, languages, or modalities during pretraining. However, when data is imbalanced across catego...

It is found that tokenizer choice matters more for languages with less language-model training data: across the 54 tokenizers, the standard deviation of a language's bits-per-byte (BPB) increases as its model training-data share decreases.

Small language models are often post-trained as students on reasoning traces from stronger teacher models to efficiently learn new skills. However, token-level imitation on traces that lie far outside the student's expected distribution often produces \textit{confident conflicts}, whereby the student is required to imi...

This work finds that identification probes systematically disagree: the GMM-based representation probe, which draws evidence from hidden state geometry, shows earlier cross-lingual mixing, whereas decoding-based probes, which rely on output-space decodability, retain sharper language-specific and more English-biased si...

A dynamic schema-guided world model optimized for visual dynamic prediction and simulation, DynaVieW, achieves an in-depth understanding of visual dynamics by learning interleaved state-transition sequences, where states cover broad visual scenes from video keyframes and transitions capture comprehensive dynamic consti...
Long-context reasoning requires accurately identifying relevant information in extensive, noisy input contexts. In this work, we propose PERK (Parameter Efficient Reasoning over Knowledge), a scalable approach for learning to encode long contexts using gradient updates at test time. Specifically, PERK employs two neste...
