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.

arXiv:2608. 11519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Full self-attention is a strong token mixer for PDE surrogates on irregular domains, but its quadratic cost limits its use on high-resolution problems.

arXiv:2607. 06601v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional computation can decouple language model quality from per-token inference cost, yet leading techniques act on a single axis in isolation: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) sparsifies the FFN, Mixture-of-Depths (MoD) skips whole transformer blocks, and KV-cache quantization compresses attention memory.

arXiv:2606. 06467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context inference in modern LLMs is increasingly constrained by decoding efficiency, especially in reasoning-heavy settings where models generate long intermediate chains of thought.

arXiv:2608. 08853v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routers commonly use the same scores both to select experts and to weight their already-computed outputs.

arXiv:2608. 03276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context inference with large language models is constrained by the linear growth of the key-value cache to sequence length.
