arXiv:2607. 12550v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key-value (KV) cache has become the dominant memory cost of transformer inference.
arXiv:2606. 18023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Looped Transformers scale latent computation by repeatedly applying shared blocks, but sequential looping increases latency and KV-cache memory with the loop count.
arXiv:2608. 11231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM serving is increasingly accelerated by position-independent caching (PIC).
arXiv:2605. 09877v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recall presents a difficult choice: transformers have a linearly growing memory that slows each successive token, while linear RNNs typically have fixed costs but limited recall.
arXiv:2607. 06523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context language model inference is increasingly limited by the memory bandwidth and capacity required to store key-value caches, yet existing compression methods often apply uniform budgets across layers or tokens and degrade retrieval when lexical cues and semantic states require different preservation.
Scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) has been driven mainly by enlarging the Transformer backbone, but for an already-strong model this requires another round of costly pretraining. We study whether an existing backbone can keep improving by allocating more computation to each token while leaving the Transformer backbone fixed.
