FastE is a training‑free, plug‑and‑play method that compresses token prefixes in large language model (LLM) embedding inference. It uses a shared fixed threshold on batch‑mean readout‑prefix alignment to decide when to compress and ranks prefix states by readout attention scores to keep the most important ones. Experiments on Qwen3‑Embedding models show that FastE can cut decoder‑backbone FLOPs by over 40% while preserving more than 99% of the original ranking quality across multiple benchmarks and tasks.
