Generative Pre-training

Generative Pre-training is the initial phase of training a Large Language Model on massive, unlabeled text datasets where the model learns token relationships by predicting the next word in sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is pre-training generative?

Because it uses a next-token generation loss objective rather than classifying inputs, teaching the model vocabulary and patterns.

What is the cost of generative pre-training?

It is highly resource-heavy, requiring clusters of GPUs running for weeks or months on terabytes of raw text.
