Nexus introduces a depth‑adaptive KV‑cache splicing and retrieval‑decoupled tool routing mechanism for agentic large language models that reduces the time‑to‑first‑token (TTFT) by decoupling tool routing from the expensive schema re‑encoding step. It uses an INT8 semantic lookaside buffer to select tools via retrieval and generates arguments from a compressed textual signature, maintaining about 89% routing accuracy even as the tool registry scales to 250 tools. Additionally, Nexus can splice compiled schema KV blocks into the live context, repairing the seam with a depth‑adaptive suffix redecode when rotary position embedding drift exceeds a threshold, ensuring output fidelity while achieving up to 1.7× TTFT speedup at moderate depth.

The paper critiques the common practice of evaluating depth usage in depth‑recurrent language models by truncating depth during inference and measuring performance decline. It argues that this method conflates three distinct effects—fewer block applications, reduced computation, and an out‑of‑distribution readout—yet is usually interpreted as measuring only the second. To address this, the authors introduce the Depth Control Protocol (DCP), a suite of positive and negative controls that isolate each factor, along with a training intervention to confirm causality, specifically tailored for depth‑wise weight‑sharing architectures.
