IronLLM-0.6B is a 654‑million‑parameter language model engineered for efficient on‑device inference, featuring a hybrid attention architecture, X‑MTP multi‑token prediction, and a lightweight verification head that yields a 1.48× decoding speedup. Trained on roughly 6.2 trillion tokens with a quality‑oriented pipeline and further refined via Multi‑Domain On‑Policy Distillation, the model adopts an Instruct‑Only design to meet low‑latency requirements. A lighter variant, IronLLM‑0.6B‑Light, replaces RMSNorm with Dynamic Tanh and streamlines costly components to enhance inference and quantization efficiency, offering a strong performance‑efficiency trade‑off for resource‑constrained deployment.

arXiv:2608. 14621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is increasingly central to LLM agents, yet memory design remains a highly coupled architecture problem: what to encode, how to store it, how to retrieve it, and how to manage it can vary substantially across tasks and backbone models.

RPMem introduces a two‑stage architecture that compiles each session into a model‑independent latent memory and then consolidates it with retained memory via a task‑trained recurrent gate. The consolidated memory is mapped to backbone‑specific low‑rank adaptation (LoRA) parameters, enabling the memory to transfer when the backbone is replaced. Across three long‑term memory benchmarks and five diverse backbones, RPMem achieves broad generalization with near‑constant update cost and memory footprint, outperforming existing parametric and text‑based baselines on the PERMA benchmark.

arXiv:2607. 07953v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-attention lets each token retrieve information from the full context, but its quadratic cost in sequence length limits training and inference at long context.
