arXiv:2605. 21333v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Natively trained spiking language models must preserve information across time while operating through sparse binary activations, a combination that has produced a persistent quality gap relative to dense Transformers.
arXiv:2607. 22785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Apple-Silicon SoCs share CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine over one unified memory system, raising the question of whether transformer inference can be accelerated by splitting single operators across units.
arXiv:2606. 10493v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Local deployment of large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models falls short of the service quality achieved in cloud-scale environments, even under low-concurrency workloads.

arXiv:2606. 13392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-long-context capability is becoming indispensable for frontier LLMs: agentic workflows, repository-scale code reasoning, and persistent memory all require the model to jointly attend over hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens, yet the quadratic cost of softmax attention makes this untenable at deployment scale.

Minima-KV introduces a retention‑preserving hierarchy for mixed‑format paged attention that keeps recent and protected anchor pages in FP8 while older pages are compressed into packed TQ3, allowing every live‑request page to remain addressable. The approach uses format‑specific kernels and a globally normalized online‑softmax merge to compute partial attention states, enabling direct heterogeneous decoding without a dense shadow cache. Experiments on Qwen3.6‑27B on a 96‑GB NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU show 3.50× compression over BF16 and 1.75× over FP8, with minimal impact on performance across long‑context benchmarks.
arXiv:2609.14507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Single-GPU long-context inference with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models requires spilling the key-value cache (KVCache) to CPU memory. The spilled KV...
