arXiv:2606. 28876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language models often conflate two different goals: compressing history into an efficient state, and maintaining reliable long-term memory.

arXiv:2606. 28876v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study memory-managed long-context attention: explicit bounded memory with a learned query-independent writer, lifecycle control, query-aware reading, calibrated sparse fallback, and frozen-LLM generation from raw evidence.
arXiv:2608. 12435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers owe much of their strong long-context retrieval capability to a token-level memory that grows with context length.
RAM‑Net introduces a linear‑time sequence model that replaces dense access to a shared recurrent state with sparse, address‑based access. The model arranges the state as a fixed‑size array of independent slots and uses an Address Decoder to map each token’s key or query to a small subset of slots, thereby reducing inter‑token interference. Empirical results show that RAM‑Net outperforms strong recurrent baselines on fine‑grained long‑range retrieval, achieves the lowest perplexity in commonsense reasoning, and accesses far fewer state elements per step than competing models.

arXiv:2607. 09889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fixed-state sequence models compress an unbounded past into a bounded state, which caps their associative recall at roughly the state dimension; attention escapes the cap by keeping a key-value entry for every token, at quadratic compute and a cache that grows with the sequence.
