The paper introduces LatentPort, a method that allows a language model to transfer its live memory to another model without requiring the receiver to reread the context. Experiments on a Qwen3.5 4B-to-9B sibling pair show that adding a Gated DeltaNet (GDN) persistent-state package reduces negative log‑likelihood by 0.747 nats/token and improves performance across 64 PG19 documents. The study also demonstrates that direct recurrent and convolution reuse outperforms learned GDN maps, and a 434,176‑parameter correction further narrows the performance gap to the native 9B model.

DeltaS is a query‑agnostic, training‑free method for evicting key‑value cache entries in hybrid video‑language models that combine linear and full attention. It uses the change in the recurrent state of gated‑delta linear attention—called state drift—to decide which video chunks to keep, selecting those that induce larger normalized state changes. In experiments with a fixed memory budget, DeltaS outperforms position‑, attention‑, and key‑value‑based eviction signals, improving performance by 2.1 points on average across six long‑video benchmarks and 5.6 points on the longest benchmark, while adding only 1.9% of the forward‑pass cost.

Modern language models are built primarily from Transformers, recurrent models, and their hybrid architectures. Transformers rely on token-level attention memories, while recurrent models such as state space models (SSMs) and linear attention maintain compact recurrent states.
