arXiv:2606. 21848v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformer architectures form the foundation of modern natural language processing, making it crucial to address the efficiency and scalability limitations of the standard QKV attention mechanism.

The paper introduces QK Product Steering, a data‑free, training‑free method that edits the query‑key product in vision‑language models to reduce object hallucination. By suppressing a few dominant singular modes in selected middle layers and mapping the edited product back to query weights, the approach lowers hallucination rates without affecting inference cost. Experiments on three GQA‑based VLMs show a 4.0% average reduction in CHAIR$_s$, with the effect localized to symmetric mutual‑attention channels.

arXiv:2607. 23054v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA), introduced in DeepSeek-V2, compresses key-value pairs through a shared low-rank bottleneck (cKV), achieving 81% KV-cache reduction during inference.
