No Second Run: RSI for LLM Pretraining Yields 30B MoE Model in 3 Months

Shanghai AI Lab and Xinxu AI introduce No Second Run, a recursive self-improvement method for LLM pretraining using debugging, headroom evaluation, and experience-to-metric loops. In three months they trained the 801-30B-A3B MoE model (30B total, 3B active params) on 11.8T tokens, scoring 73.13 average on 13 base benchmarks (second only to Qwen3.5-35B-A3B) and achieving top Agent benchmark results after 6.33B-token SFT without RL.

Token Superposition Training: 2.5× Faster LLM Pre‑training Without Model Changes

The article presents Token Superposition Training (TST), which temporarily averages embeddings of non‑overlapping token bags and predicts groups of tokens in a first phase before reverting to standard token‑wise prediction, achieving up to 2.5× pre‑training speedup on 10B‑1B MoE models without altering model architecture or inference.

Token Superposition Training Accelerates LLM Pre‑training 2.5× Without Changing Architecture

Token Superposition Training (TST) speeds up large‑language‑model pre‑training by up to 2.5× without altering model architecture or compute budget, using a superposition phase that averages token embeddings into bags and predicts groups of tokens, followed by a standard recovery phase, as demonstrated on 10B‑parameter MoE and smaller models.
