arXiv:2608. 17896v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recurrent models process long contexts efficiently by compressing their history into a fixed-size state, but modern architectures typically do so in a single causal pass over the sequence.

arXiv:2608. 12435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers owe much of their strong long-context retrieval capability to a token-level memory that grows with context length.

arXiv:2606. 06479v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training recurrent neural networks (RNNs) requires assigning credit across long sequences of computations.

arXiv:2608. 15062v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling transformer language models creates an inherent tension between expressivity and memory efficiency.

arXiv:2608. 16844v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The quadratic cost of attention-based sequence models for long contexts has motivated a growing line of research on memory-based models that can compress context into a compact state.
