The paper proposes replacing dense output projection in large language models with an HNSW-based vector index to perform maximum inner product search over token embeddings. This approach reduces memory bandwidth usage by retrieving only a small set of high-scoring tokens and can be integrated into existing decoding pipelines via sparse logits scattering. Experiments on Gemma 3, Llama 3.2, and Qwen 3 show up to 82% speed‑up in batch‑size‑one decoding while maintaining generation quality.

arXiv:2607. 18302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive language models are least accurate at the beginning of a sequence, where little context forces reliance on a generic pretraining prior.

The paper investigates whether adding Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) data to large language models (LLMs) improves performance on downstream tasks. By reproducing recent studies and applying a consistent hyperparameter protocol, the authors find that text-only baselines match or surpass AMR-augmented models. A perplexity-based probe shows that AMR does not provide LLMs with additional relational knowledge, suggesting no clear benefit from AMR augmentation.

Osprey is a target‑agnostic pre‑training method that bootstraps draft models for speculative decoding from existing small language models. By pruning to a shallow backbone, restoring language‑modeling capability with next‑token pretraining, and adapting via vocabulary alignment and distillation, Osprey reduces per‑target work to a lightweight adaptation step. Experiments show that a single Osprey backbone improves mean acceptance length by up to 22.7% and increases tokens per second by 17.5% across several large target models, especially on out‑of‑domain and multilingual data.

arXiv:2607. 05316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models generate one token at a time, yet their responses show remarkably consistent length structure: step-by-step solutions converge in predictable token counts, retrievals stop after a few sentences, retractions extend responses by measurable amounts.

arXiv:2605. 25475v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly expected to operate over long contexts, yet standard softmax attention incurs a KV cache that grows linearly with sequence length, quickly becoming the bottleneck for long context inference.
