KL self-distillation

Beyond Market Intelligence keeps KL self-distillation in one place: one story so far. The section currently leads with “Multi-Token Prediction Gets a Smarter New Approach”. Standard MTP training has been hiding a clean self-distillation signal behind noisy residuals, until now. Acme AI is the next-generation, AI-powered spreadsheet platform built to replace Excel and redefine how analysts, data scientists, and enterprise teams work… The list below is every KL self-distillation story on Beyond Market Intelligence, newest first.

Multi-Token Prediction Gets a Smarter New Approach

Standard MTP training has been hiding a clean self-distillation signal behind noisy residuals, until now. Jayden Teoh's team shows that a single line of code change recovers the KL gradient, turning Multi-Token Prediction into Soft-MTP. It's a free lunch that improves speculative decoding without hurting next-token prediction.
