Comment on Byte latent transformer: Patches scale better than tokens (2024)

Comments

Great to see our paper here again! Since the paper release, we've also released model weights here for anyone interesting in building on top of it: https://huggingface.co/facebook/blt. We also added HF Hub code to easily load the model https://github.com/facebookresearch/blt?tab=readme-ov-file#l....

The thing that stood out for me was the use of ngram hashes as an additional feature set. My understanding of this is that its typically used as a positional feature.

Is this a limitation of the byte patches in that the positional information needs to be augmented?
