xGen-small Technical Report

원문 초록

We introduce xGen-small, a family of 4B and 9B Transformer decoder models optimized for long-context applications. Our vertically integrated pipeline unites domain-balanced, frequency-aware data curation; multi-stage pre-training with quality annealing and length extension to 128k tokens; and targeted post-training via supervised fine-tuning, preference learning, and online reinforcement learning. xGen-small delivers strong performance across various tasks, especially in math and coding domains, while excelling at long context benchmarks.
