LongStraw: Long-Context RL Beyond 2M Tokens under a Fixed GPU Budget

arXiv:2607. 14952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing gap separates inference context lengths from RL post-training: inference systems are approaching million-token contexts, while post-training workloads often remain at 256K tokens or below and rely on length generalization at deployment.

MiniMax Sparse Attention

arXiv:2606. 13392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-long-context capability is becoming indispensable for frontier LLMs: agentic workflows, repository-scale code reasoning, and persistent memory all require the model to jointly attend over hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens, yet the quadratic cost of softmax attention makes this untenable at deployment scale.

Controllably Efficient Language Models

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.
