Exploring self-distilled reasoning for supervised fine-tuning with Amazon Nova
In this post, we explore an idea for generating thinking tokens for datasets that lack reasoning traces in SFT customization. We first examine the reasoning suppression…
Environment-free Synthetic Data Generation for API-Calling Agents
Training API-calling large language model (LLM) agents demands massive amounts of high-quality trajectories. However, collecting such data at scale typically requires fully implemented environments with executable…
Accelerating Text-to-Video Generation with Calibrated Sparse Attention
Recent diffusion models enable high-quality video generation, but suffer from slow runtimes. The large transformer-based backbones used in these models are bottlenecked by spatiotemporal attention. In…
