**Large Concept Models

Paper summary
** - presents an approach that operates on sentence-level semantic representations called concepts, moving beyond token-level processing typical in current LLMs; the model leverages SONAR sentence embeddings to support 200 languages across text and speech modalities, training on autoregressive sentence prediction using various approaches from MSE regression to diffusion-based generation; experiments with both 1.6B and 7B parameter variants trained on 1.3T and 7.7T tokens respectively demonstrate strong performance on generative tasks like summarization and summary expansion.
