 *News* 🔥
-- [2023/09] Medusa won the [Chai Prize Grant](https://twitter.com/tianle_cai/status/1703891335147897341)🎉 The prize will be used as a development bounty for those who help us achieve milestones in our [roadmap](https://github.com/FasterDecoding/Medusa/issues/3)!
-- [2023/09] Medusa v0.1 is released! 
+- [2024/1] Medusa technical report is now available on [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.10774). We've added multiple new features, including Medusa-2 recipe for full-model training, self-distillation for adding Medusa to any fine-tuned LLM, etc. The new results show a 2.2-3.6x speedup over the original model on a range of LLMs.

 - Instead of introducing a new model, we train multiple decoding heads on the *same* model.
 - The training is parameter-efficient so that even the "GPU-Poor" can do it. And since there is no additional model, there is no need to adjust the distributed computing setup.
 - Relaxing the requirement of matching the distribution of the original model makes the non-greedy generation even faster than greedy decoding.
+
+In the initial release, our primary focus is on optimizing Medusa for a batch size of 1—a setting commonly utilized for local model hosting. In this configuration, Medusa delivers approximately a 2x speed increase across a range of Vicuna models. We are actively working to extend Medusa's capabilities by integrating it into additional inference frameworks, with the aim of achieving even greater performance gains and extending Medusa to broader settings.

+
+In the updated version, we add support for full-model training, called Medusa-2 (compared to Medusa-1, which only trains the new heads), which requires a special recipe that adds the speculative prediction ability while keeping the original model's performance.
+
+We also add support for self-distillation, which allows us to add Medusa to any fine-tuned LLM without requiring the availability of the original training data.

 ### Inference
 We currently support single-GPU inference with a batch size of 1, which is the most common setup for local model hosting. We are actively working to extend Medusa's capabilities by integrating it into other inference frameworks; please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested in contributing to this effort.

 You can also pass `--load-in-8bit` or `--load-in-4bit` to load the base model in quantized format. If you download the base model elsewhere, you may override base model name or path with `--base-model  [path of base model]`.
 
 ### Training
+In the updated version, we use the amazing [axolotl](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl) library to manage the training process. Please refer to our [fork](https://github.com/ctlllll/axolotl) for the training code. The major code modifications are in [`src/axolotl/utils/models.py`](https://github.com/ctlllll/axolotl/blob/main/src/axolotl/utils/models.py). The training configs can be found in [`examples/medusa`](https://github.com/ctlllll/axolotl/tree/main/examples/medusa).

+The data preparation code for self-distillation can be found in [`data_generation` folder](data_generation) of the current repo.
