arXiv:2606. 16429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hybrid linear attention models offer an appealing path to faster long-context inference: they reduce the quadratic cost and KV-cache burden of full softmax attention while retaining much of the quality of Transformer models.

arXiv:2402. 14035v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation from foundation models to compact domain models is challenging due to substantial gaps in capacity, architecture, and modality.

arXiv:2606. 29961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents can solve complex procedural tasks by interacting with environments over multiple turns, but this ability typically depends on large models, long contexts, and repeated inference calls.

arXiv:2604. 08558v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent decoder-only autoregressive text-to-speech (AR-TTS) models produce high-fidelity speech, but their memory and compute costs scale quadratically with sequence length due to full self-attention.

arXiv:2604. 00004v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The extension of context windows in Large Language Models is typically facilitated by scaling positional encodings followed by lightweight Continual Pre-Training (CPT).
