提出M³定律，优化低资源语言模型的多阶段多语言训练策略。

In this paper, we study a fundamental design problem in pretraining Large Language Models (LLMs) for low-resource language regimes. Existing works adopt multi-epoch, multi-lingual, and multi-stage training to utilize the limited target-language corpus efficiently, but no prior scaling law can compare recipes spanning these approaches under the same compute budget $C$ and target-language corpus size $D_T$, leaving the optimal training setup unclear. To address this gap, we propose the $M^3$ Scaling Law, a unified predictive model parameterized by the model scale, the number of target-corpus epochs $k$, the average target-language ratio $r$, and the final-stage target-language ratio $r_f$, which places monolingual single-stage, multi-lingual single-stage, and multi-lingual multi-stage recipes on a single target-language loss surface. Across three language pairs, it extrapolates to unseen hyperparameter regions more accurately than existing scaling laws. Using $M^3$ as a surrogate objective, we derive two practical guidelines for low-resource LLM pretraining: (i) as $D_T$ decreases, the optimal recipe shifts directly from monolingual single-stage to multi-lingual two-stage training at a compute-budget-dependent threshold, with multi-lingual single-stage never optimal in our experimental grid; and (ii) the optimal number of epochs collapses onto a single curve in the scarcity variable $D_T/D^*(C)$, where $D^*(C) \propto C^{α/(α+β)}$ is the monolingual compute-optimal corpus size.
