arXiv:2606. 01563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive decoding in Transformer-based language models relies on the KV cache, whose memory footprint grows linearly with sequence length and becomes the primary bottleneck for long-context inference.

arXiv:2607. 27539v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Exact deletion from persistent language-model memory depends on how that memory represents a record.

arXiv:2607. 07144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache dominates the memory cost of long-context autoregressive inference, and a growing body of work compresses it through quantization, eviction, or offloading.

arXiv:2606. 17872v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) outperform earlier architectures on generative inference and long-context tasks, but their large size introduces significant challenges in memory usage, energy cost, and on-device deployment.

arXiv:2604. 25975v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Key-Value (KV) caching is essential for large language model inference, yet its memory overhead poses a critical bottleneck for long-context generation.

arXiv:2607. 10441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Context engineering decides what information a model carries forward, and current designs meter it in tokens: compressing the past into a bounded recurrent state, keeping a key-value entry for every token, or imposing a fixed budget through a window or eviction rule.

arXiv:2608. 05326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive large language model inference is increasingly constrained by the memory footprint of the Key-Value (KV) cache.

LLM agents that persist across sessions accumulate stored memories whose validity varies enormously by content type, yet existing memory architectures treat all memories as equally persistent and systematically contaminate retrieved context with outdated facts. We show that per-memory, type-conditioned temporal decay, a property of western scrub jay episodic memory, can be operationalized as an auto-classified coefficient $π_i$ in an external LLM-agent memory store, yielding ScrubJay-MEM: each memory is encoded as a jointly-bound What--Where--When tuple with an estimated perishability $π_i$ and utility horizon $τ_i$, retrieved by query-adaptive scoring, and revised retroactively at $O(1)$ LLM calls per update.
arXiv:2607. 17019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study whether \sigreg -- LeJEPA's anti-collapse objective -- can reshape representations during standard autoregressive language-model pretraining, and when the resulting geometry helps \kv-cache quantization.

arXiv:2606. 21253v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning that is gradient-free, local, online, and append-only is attractive for edge and streaming deployment, but its value is usually argued informally.

arXiv:2606. 29139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how the next-token prediction of an autoregressive Transformer language model changes under small perturbations of earlier input token embeddings.
