TF-Engram: A Train-Free Engram with SSD-Backed Memory for Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 07388v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) store factual knowledge and domain-specific patterns implicitly in dense Transformer parameters, making knowledge expansion costly through pretraining, fine-tuning, retrieval augmentation, or longer contexts.

Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large Language Models

arXiv:2601. 07372v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) scales capacity via conditional computation, Transformers lack a native primitive for knowledge lookup, forcing them to inefficiently simulate retrieval through computation.

DepthWeave-KV: Token-Adaptive Cross-Layer Residual Factorization for Long-Context KV Cache Compression

arXiv:2607. 06523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context language model inference is increasingly limited by the memory bandwidth and capacity required to store key-value caches, yet existing compression methods often apply uniform budgets across layers or tokens and degrade retrieval when lexical cues and semantic states require different preservation.
