arXiv:2606. 28359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dense embedding retrieval compresses all relevance information into a single inner product, imposing a fundamental geometric limit -- the Voronoi Bottleneck -- on the number of query-document relevance patterns expressible at fixed embedding dimension (d).

arXiv:2608. 15438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) indexes at billion scale is often dominated by expensive global clustering or graph construction, making time-to-index a first-order systems concern.

arXiv:2607. 27692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Top-$K$ sparse attention reduces the cost of Softmax and value aggregation by attending to only a small subset of key--value (KV) entries.

arXiv:2607. 12204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Attention can be viewed as an online learner over context, yet existing test-time memories cannot certify that dropping a token leaves outputs unchanged or delete its influence outright.
