When to Think Fast and Slow? AMOR: Adaptive Entropy Gate for Hybrid Models

The paper introduces AMOR, an Adaptive Metacognitive Output Router that selectively activates attention in recurrent-attention hybrid models based on predictive uncertainty. By gating attention blocks with an entropy threshold derived from a running batch median and scaled standard deviation, AMOR reduces attention usage to about 40% of positions while achieving superior common-sense reasoning performance across multiple scales. The approach also improves retrieval accuracy over pure recurrent models and maintains long-context robustness, outperforming fixed-schedule hybrids under distribution shift.

DeltaS: Reading the Gated Linear Attention State for KV Cache Eviction in Streaming Video

DeltaS is a query‑agnostic, training‑free method for evicting key‑value cache entries in hybrid video‑language models that combine linear and full attention. It uses the change in the recurrent state of gated‑delta linear attention—called state drift—to decide which video chunks to keep, selecting those that induce larger normalized state changes. In experiments with a fixed memory budget, DeltaS outperforms position‑, attention‑, and key‑value‑based eviction signals, improving performance by 2.1 points on average across six long‑video benchmarks and 5.6 points on the longest benchmark, while adding only 1.9% of the forward‑pass cost.
