Fast Weight Attention for Continual Learning introduces recurrent fast‑weight memories and selective state‑space models that compress expanding context into a fixed‑size recurrent state, enabling an online learning rule for state transitions. The paper derives normalized first‑order updates for squared‑error regression and negative inner‑product objectives, presenting several variants (Falcon‑1, Falcon‑2, Falcon‑3 and their inner‑product counterparts) with recurrent, masked‑parallel, and chunk‑parallel implementations. These methods demonstrate competitive performance in language modeling and improved length extrapolation on variable‑digit addition tasks.

arXiv:2605. 25582v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning for large language models faces a fundamental trade-off between sample efficiency and asymptotic performance: strictly on-policy methods discard trajectories after a single update, while off-policy reuse introduces distribution mismatch that existing trust-region techniques mitigate primarily by enforcing conservative optimization, often leaving rich training signals underutilized.
arXiv:2608. 01130v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A broad range of models face the mismatch where they are updated through trajectory losses but are evaluated by downstream task reward.
arXiv:2606. 12138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are widely used to interpret neural network representations, but their utility depends on whether the learned features are reproducible across training runs.

arXiv:2601. 18699v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sequential fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) adaptation to target tasks often triggers catastrophic forgetting, where the acquisition of novel target skills degrades ancestral capabilities.
arXiv:2603. 11784v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As scaling laws push the training of frontier large language models (LLMs) toward ever-growing data requirements, training pipelines are approaching a regime where much of the publicly available online text may be consumed.
