As both Saturn and Neptune ingress into your first house , you are the primary vessel for the "Great Reset." The veil of distortion that has clouded your self-perception for years finally lifts, replaced by a sobering yet visionary clarity. You are stepping out of the shadows of "becoming" and into the light of "being." This period represents the start of a 36-year cycle where your physical identity, your willpower, and your spiritual essence merge.

Expect the unexpected as your ruling planet, Mars, ignites your sign in th...

 1. Multi-Token Prediction Reshapes LLM Training Paradigms - This research proposes that training large language models to predict multiple future tokens simultaneously, rather than just the next one, improves sample efficiency. The approach involves the model predicting the next 'n' tokens at each position in the training data using separate output heads on a shared model base. When used as an auxiliary task, multi-token prediction enhances performance in downstream tasks for both code and natural language models without increasing training time. The benefits are more significant with larger models and persist across multiple training epochs. Notably, this method excels in generative tasks like coding, where a 13B parameter model outperforms next-token models by solving 12% more problems on HumanEval and 17% more on MBPP. Additionally, it aids in developing induction heads and algorithmic reasoning on small tasks, and offers up to 3x faster inference speeds with 4-token predi...
