The paper investigates how attention dynamics evolve across recurrent depth in language models, finding that attention support stabilizes early while hidden states and outputs take longer. It proposes WISE, a training‑free method that uses full attention in early steps and then reuses the discovered sparse working set for later steps, preserving performance on multi‑hop QA tasks. Experiments show that WISE maintains quality up to 2K context, offers measurable speedups, and highlights the importance of recurrent discovery of attention support.
The paper introduces dQwen3.5, a family of diffusion language models derived from the hybrid-attention architecture of Qwen3.5 at 0.8B, 2B, 4B, and 9B parameters. It demonstrates that adapting a hybrid AR backbone—combining attention and RNN layers—can be more efficient than full-attention models, reaching a target training loss in roughly half the tokens. Across scales, dQwen3.5 exhibits full-attention-like behavior in any‑order decoding and strong performance under parallel decoding.
