Training an MoE LLM in MXFP4: How We Closed the Gap to BF16

arXiv:2610.32229v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training large language models (LLMs) in sub-8-bit arithmetic promises substantial gains in memory bandwidth and compute throughput, yet FP4 formats introduce quantization error severe enough to destabilize optimization if left unaddressed. We present ALTO, an open-source training recipe for GPT-OSS-20B, a 20-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model, on the MLPerf Small MoE Training benchmark under the MXFP4 microscaling format. The recipe combines established techniques from Abecassis, Felix et al. [arXiv:2509.25149] (hybrid 1D/2D block quantization, randomized Hadamard transforms, and stochastic rounding) with a simplified weight de-oscillation scheme adapted from TetraJet-v2 [arXiv:2510.27527]. On C4 validation at global batch size

Introducing Qwen2-Math

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD 🚨 This model mainly supports English. We will release bilingual (English and Chinese) math models soon. Introduction Over the past year, we have dedicated significant effort to researching and enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models, with a particular focus on their ability to solve arithmetic and mathematical problems. Today, we are delighted to introduce a series of math-specific large language models of our Qwen2 series, Qwen2-Math and Qwen2-Math-Instruct-1.
