arXiv:2607. 19358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in long chain-of-thought reasoning models such as DeepSeek-R1 have led to increasingly longer inference context lengths under the test-time scaling paradigm.

arXiv:2608. 02947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The attention score with rotary position embeddings (RoPE) decomposes exactly into a sum over its 2D-rotation frequency pairs, and each pair's wavelength limits how far it can discriminate position.

The attention score with rotary position embeddings (RoPE) decomposes exactly into a sum over its 2D-rotation frequency pairs, and each pair's wavelength limits how far it can discriminate position. Aligned with this structure, we propose the per-RoPE-wavelength distance window: it prunes the query--key inner-product terms beyond a wavelength-proportional distance.

arXiv:2511. 10696v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sparse attention is crucial in long-context Transformers, which restricts each token to a limited neighborhood and thereby reduces the quadratic cost of full self-attention.

arXiv:2606. 09508v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing sparse attention and KV cache compression methods for long-context LLM inference typically apply fixed sparsity patterns or uniform budgets across all attention heads, overlooking the substantial variation in attention behavior among heads and contexts.

arXiv:2606. 24957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While speculative decoding improves inference throughput for multi-batch long-context Large Language Models (LLMs), its efficiency is often limited by a verification bottleneck where Key-Value (KV) cache loading dominates latency.

arXiv:2606. 28876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language models often conflate two different goals: compressing history into an efficient state, and maintaining reliable long-term memory.

arXiv:2511. 05313v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The substantial inference costs of attention in transformers motivated the development of efficient sequence mixers: namely sparse and sliding window attention, convolutions and linear attention.
