Fast Byte Latent Transformer

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.08044v1 Announce Type: cross Recent byte-level language models (LMs) match the performance of token-level models without relying on subword vocabularies, yet their utility is limited by slow, byte-by-byte autoregressive generation. We address this bottleneck in the Byte Latent Transformer (BLT) through new
