arXiv:2604. 01577v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study out of distribution generalization in streaming tasks where models are trained on short sequences but must operate over much longer, unknown horizons under bounded memory.

arXiv:2511. 05313v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The substantial inference costs of attention in transformers motivated the development of efficient sequence mixers: namely sparse and sliding window attention, convolutions and linear attention.

The paper introduces the Continuous Memory Machine (CMM), a recurrent neural network that uses separate matrix-valued short‑term and long‑term memory states. Short‑term memory tracks recent neural activity with neuron‑level models for rapid computation, while long‑term memory stores information for later use; both are jointly updated by a Transformer that allows bidirectional read‑write operations. Experiments on algorithmic, in‑context learning, and recurrent reasoning tasks show that CMM outperforms many baselines and generalizes better than previous memory‑augmented networks, while maintaining interpretable attention patterns from the Continuous Thought Machine.

arXiv:2607. 14952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment.

arXiv:2605. 08696v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Over the last two decades, language modeling has experienced a shift from the use of predominantly recurrent architectures that process tokens sequentially during training and inference to non-recurrent models that process sequence elements in parallel during training, which results in greater training efficiency and stability at the expense of lower inference throughput.
