1️⃣ 一句话总结
本文提出了一种名为SynPro的框架,通过对有限的有机文本进行改写和重格式化,生成多样化的合成训练数据,使大语言模型在数据严重不足的条件下仍能有效扩展,其性能提升远超简单的重复训练,甚至接近使用更多真实数据的效果。
LLM pretraining is shifting from a compute-bound to a data-bound regime, where available human (organic) text falls far short of scaling demands. However, reaching the data-bound regime does not mean the model has fully utilized its organic corpus. In this paper, we introduce SynPro, a synthetic data generation framework that helps LLMs more thoroughly learn from limited organic data. SynPro applies two operations, rephrasing and reformat, that present the same organic source in diverse forms to facilitate deeper learning without introducing external information. Both generators are optimized via reinforcement learning with quality, faithfulness, and data influence rewards, and are continuously updated as pretraining plateaus to target content the model has yet to absorb. We pretrain 400M and 1.1B models with 10% of their Chinchilla-optimal tokens (0.8B and 2.2B) from DCLM-Baseline, reflecting a realistic data-bound regime in frontier pretraining. Our results reveal that organic data is significantly underutilized by standard repetition: SynPro unlocks 3.7-5.2x the effective tokens of repetition, even surpassing the non-data-bound oracle that trains on equivalent unique data at the 1.1B scale. Analyses confirm that faithful, model-aware synthesis sustains data-bound scaling without causing distribution collapse. We open-source our code at this https URL.
