TST — Token Superposition Training
Nous Research unveiled Token Superposition Training (TST), a technique claiming 2.5x faster LLM training times by optimizing how models process redundant data sequences. TST works by superimposing tokens during training to reduce compute on repetitive patterns, with zero architectural changes required to the final deployed model.
