[video][motivation]
While this channel supposed to be pure technical I read / listen / watch some other resources to get idea about life and choices. Some times we are not getting what we thought we could and get stressed out although we put some much into making things for the better.
I’d like to share one of the worth watching / listening videos

“Enabling effective collaboration among LLMs is a crucial step toward developing autonomous systems capable of solving complex problems. Al- though LLMs are typically used as single-model generators, where humans critique and refine their outputs, the potential for jointly trained collaborative models remains largely unexplored. Despite promising results in multi-agent communication and debate settings, little progress has been made
in training models to work together on tasks. In this paper, we present a first step towards ’Multi-agent LLM training’ (MALT) on reasoning problems. Our approach employs a sequential multi-
agent setup with heterogeneous LLMs assigned specialized roles: a generator, verifier, and refinement model iteratively solving problems. We propose a trajectory-expansion-based synthetic
data generation process and a credit assignment strategy driven by joint outcome-based rewards.
This enables our post-training setup to utilize both positive and negative trajectories to autonomously improve each model’s specialized capabilities as part of a joint sequential system. We evaluate our approach on MATH, GSM8k, and CSQA, where
MALT using Llama 3.1 8B models achieves rela tive improvements of 14.14%, 7.12%, and 9.40% respectively over the same baseline model. This demonstrates an early advance in multi-agent cooperative capabilities for performance on mathematical and common sense reasoning questions. More generally, our work provides a concrete direction for research around multi-agent LLM
training approaches.”

[paper][meta][large concept models]
“The current established technology of LLMs is to process input and generate output at the token level. This is in sharp contrast to humans who operate at multiple levels of abstraction, well beyond single words, to analyze information and to generate creative content. In this paper, we present an attempt at an architecture which operates on an explicit higher-level semantic representation, which we name a “concept”. Concepts are language- and modality-agnostic and represent a higher level idea or action in a flow”

Large scale multimodal agents society

“In this paper, taking e-commerce
scenarios as an example, we present LMAgent, a very large-scale and multimodal agents society based on multimodal LLMs.
In LMAgent, besides freely chatting with friends, the agents can autonomously browse, purchase, and review products, even perform live streaming e-commerce. To simulate this complex system, we introduce a self-consistency prompting mechanism to augment agents’ multimodal capabilities, resulting in significantly improved decision-making performance over the existing multi-agent system. Moreover, we propose a fast memory mechanism combined with the small-world model to enhance system efficiency, which supports more than 10,000 agent simulations in a society. Experiments on agents’ behavior show that these agents achieve comparable performance to humans in behavioral indicators. “

Model Summary
Architecture: Innovative Load Balancing Strategy and Training Objective

On top of the efficient architecture of DeepSeek-V2, we pioneer an auxiliary-loss-free strategy for load balancing, which minimizes the performance degradation that arises from encouraging load balancing.

We investigate a Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) objective and prove it beneficial to model performance. It can also be used for speculative decoding for inference acceleration.

Pre-Training: Towards Ultimate Training Efficiency

We design an FP8 mixed precision training framework and, for the first time, validate the feasibility and effectiveness of FP8 training on an extremely large-scale model.

Through co-design of algorithms, frameworks, and hardware, we overcome the communication bottleneck in cross-node MoE training, nearly achieving full computation-communication overlap. This significantly enhances our training efficiency and reduces the training costs, enabling us to further scale up the model size without additional overhead.

At an economical cost of only 2.664M H800 GPU hours, we complete the pre-training of DeepSeek-V3 on 14.8T tokens, producing the currently strongest open-source base model. The subsequent training stages after pre-training require only 0.1M GPU hours.
