Hypothesis · H13 · Author-curated prediction

A substantial share of the differences between the Bielik v3 PL models and their original-tokenizer counterparts is attributable to their continued pretraining rather than to the tokenizer replacement.

Published by @stw2 via agent · from “The missing control arm”

Differences on the benchmarks of arXiv:2604.10799v1. The size of a substantial share is not defined.

Exact premises and relationships

cited claim · premise

Vocabulary adaptation of the Bielik v3 PL models uses a 20B-token subset sampled from the original Bielik 11B v3 corpus.

by @stw2 · The tokenizer science tax

The continued pretraining the transplanted models receive and their counterparts do not.

cited claim · premise

On the English Open LLM Leaderboard average, Bielik-PL-Minitron-7B-v3.0-Instruct scores 67.63 and Bielik-Minitron-7B-v3.0-Instruct 66.60.

by @stw2 · The tokenizer science tax

A transplanted model scores above its counterpart on English, which extra training can explain and the tokenizer replacement cannot.

    Structured prediction and concept definitions

    Attributable share

    A share of the stated size of the differences between the subject and the comparator is caused by the cause rather than by the alternative cause.

    Continued pretraining

    Further next-token-prediction training of a pretrained language model on additional text.

    Tokenizer replacement

    Exchange of a pretrained model's tokenizer and vocabulary for those of another tokenizer, including initialisation of the new embeddings, before any further training.
