            <h2 class="calm-section-title">核心瓶颈：低语义带宽</h2>
            <p class="calm-text">
                传统大型语言模型（LLM）受限于逐个生成 Token 的机制。虽然模型参数已扩展至万亿级别，但基本预测单元——离散 Token——的信息密度极低（仅 15-18 bits）。
            </p>
            <div class="calm-highlight">
                <strong>问题所在：</strong> 扩大词汇表以增加信息密度会导致 Softmax 计算量指数级爆炸。这造成了模型强大算力与简单低效任务之间的错配。
            </div>
            <p class="calm-text">
                <strong>解决思路：</strong> CALM 引入新的扩展维度——<span style="color:#0056b3; font-weight:bold;">语义带宽 (Semantic Bandwidth)</span>。不再预测下一个“Token”，而是预测一个能浓缩多个 Token 信息的“连续向量”。

                CALM 利用高保真自编码器将 K 个 Token 压缩为一个连续向量 z，然后在向量空间进行自回归建模，最后解码回文本。这使生成步骤减少了 K 倍。
