arXiv:2605. 09877v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recall presents a difficult choice: transformers have a linearly growing memory that slows each successive token, while linear RNNs typically have fixed costs but limited recall.

Abstract: In contrast to RNNs, which compress their history into a single hidden state, Transformers can attend to all past tokens directly. However, standar...

arXiv:2606. 27538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the context-ready transformer, a new recurrent neural network architecture built from a D-layer transformer block that pre-contextualizes each token before it enters the block.

We’ve developed the Sparse Transformer, a deep neural network which sets new records at predicting what comes next in a sequence—whether text, images, or sound. It uses an algorithmic improvement of the attention mechanism to extract patterns from sequences 30x longer than possible previously.

arXiv:2407. 07239v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Linear recurrent neural networks, such as State Space Models (SSMs) and Linear Recurrent Units (LRUs), have recently shown state-of-the-art performance on long sequence modelling benchmarks.

The paper introduces Cubit, a Transformer‑style architecture that replaces the standard attention mechanism with Kernel Ridge Regression (KRR). By interpreting attention as Nadaraya‑Watson regression, Cubit incorporates the closed‑form KRR solution, combining kernel‑based value aggregation with normalization via the inverse kernel matrix. The authors also propose a Limited‑Range Rescale (LRR) to stabilize training and report that Cubit shows improved long‑sequence modeling, with gains increasing as training sequence length grows.
