X-Token Solves Tokenizer Mismatch: Deterministic Projection for LLM Knowledge Distillation

X-Token: Practical Cross-Tokenizer Knowledge Distillation for LLMs TL;DR: X-Token fixes a key blocker for knowledge distillation when teacher and student use different tokenizers. It builds a deterministic, probability-preserving projection matrix (W) that maps student token probabilities into teacher vocabulary space, then applies one of two KL-based loss modes (P-KL or H-KL) depending on a quick […]
