Fast Byte Latent Transformer
Researchers introduce the Byte Latent Transformer (BLT), a new approach to byte-level language models that dramatically accelerates generation speed through diffusion-based and speculative decoding techniques. The methods reduce memory-bandwidth costs by over 50% compared to standard byte-level models, potentially making byte-level LMs practical for real-world deployment.
