arXiv:2606. 06564v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Residual connections are central to training deep Transformers, but standard PreNorm residual streams aggregate sublayer updates with fixed unit weights.
arXiv:2606. 06564v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Block-level residual routing makes learned residual aggregation practical by routing over block summaries, but each summary compresses an ordered sequence of attention and MLP updates into one cumulative vector.
arXiv:2606. 16112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Residual architectures are ubiquitous in deep learning, but they suffer from a subtle structural limitation: the norm of the residual stream can grow rapidly with depth.
arXiv:2606. 26538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Transformers are composed of uniformly stacked residual blocks, yet their deepest layers often add little value.
arXiv:2608. 08888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive transformers compute along two axes: horizontally across generated tokens, and vertically through model depth.
arXiv:2607. 18363v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feed-forward networks hold two thirds of a transformer's non-embedding parameters, yet the architecture has not received a necessity test that controls parameters, compute, and depth at once.
arXiv:2607. 06523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context language model inference is increasingly limited by the memory bandwidth and capacity required to store key-value caches, yet existing compression methods often apply uniform budgets across layers or tokens and degrade retrieval when lexical cues and semantic states require different preservation.
arXiv:2608. 15062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling transformer language models creates an inherent tension between expressivity and memory efficiency.
arXiv:2606. 02559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training compression of Large Language Models (LLMs) removes entire architectural components, either deleting them or replacing them with fitted modules.
arXiv:2607. 09694v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Attention Residuals replace the fixed residual sum with depthwise attention over previous sub-layer outputs in large language models (LLMs), but use each output as both a full-dimensional key and value.
arXiv:2503. 06211v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-pretrained language models (LMs) encode rich world knowledge, but adapting them to process and generate perceptual modalities such as audio and images while effectively leveraging that knowledge remains challenging.
arXiv:2605. 20708v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have become a de facto backbone of modern visual generation, and nearly every major axis of their design -- tokenization, attention, conditioning, objectives, and latent autoencoders -- has been extensively revisited.
arXiv:2606. 27538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the context-ready transformer, a new recurrent neural network architecture built from a D-layer transformer block that pre-contextualizes each token before it enters the block.
