arXiv:2606. 27229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recurrent models must forget in order to remember, yet the state of the art decides what to erase without consulting what is stored -- the gate sees only the arriving token, not the memory it is about to modify.
arXiv:2607. 12204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Attention can be viewed as an online learner over context, yet existing test-time memories cannot certify that dropping a token leaves outputs unchanged or delete its influence outright.
arXiv:2606. 01294v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Linear attention reduces the quadratic cost of softmax attention by maintaining a recurrent fast-weight state, but it consistently lags on in-context retrieval and long-context tasks.

arXiv:2609.38166v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent LLMs increasingly adopt hybrid designs that replace standard attention with linear attention, such as Gated DeltaNet (GDN) and Kimi Delta Atte...
arXiv:2606. 26488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recursive reasoning models can solve complex structured tasks with only a few million parameters by repeatedly updating a latent state.
arXiv:2607. 03502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier LLMs can perform multi-step reasoning over content-free filler tokens like dots or counting sequences, producing correct answers with no visible chain-of-thought (CoT).
The paper introduces DAMP, a decay‑aware mixed‑precision quantization scheme for recurrent‑state representations in GDN and KDA language models. By identifying high‑risk channels through quantization‑error energy and decay persistence, DAMP stores these channels at higher precision while compressing the rest to INT8, achieving a 9.9‑bit average precision. Experiments on Qwen3.6‑35B and Kimi‑Linear‑48B show a 69.1% reduction in recurrent‑state storage, up to 2.01× faster state‑update kernels, and up to 10.9% lower full‑model TPOT while preserving accuracy close to the FP32 baseline.
arXiv:2607. 01523v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recurrent memory agents extend LLMs to arbitrarily long contexts by iteratively consolidating input into a fixed-size memory window.
The paper introduces Ladder Side Tuning (LST), a parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning method that adds a lightweight side network to large language models. LST matches QLoRA’s compute scaling while halving peak memory usage, enabling 7B‑parameter models to be fine‑tuned on a single 12 GB GPU with 2k‑token contexts without gradient checkpointing. The authors also present xLadder, a depth‑extended variant that increases effective depth through cross‑connections, allowing deeper reasoning without extra memory overhead.
