arXiv:2607. 02980v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling modern large language models (LLMs) to long contexts is limited by the quadratic computation cost, and poor length extrapolation of dense attention.

arXiv:2606. 15378v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern language models increasingly adopt hybrid architectures that combine full attention with efficient attention modules, such as sliding-window attention (SWA) and recurrent sequence mixers.

arXiv:2605. 16928v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-context inference in large language models is bottlenecked by the quadratic cost of full attention.

arXiv:2505. 23277v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) often suffers from long and noisy retrieved contexts.

arXiv:2505. 23666v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The per-token cost of transformer inference scales with context length, preventing its application to lifelong in-context learning.

arXiv:2512. 14391v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In-context learning is fundamental to modern Large Language Models (LLMs); however, prevailing architectures impose a rigid and fixed contextual structure by assigning linear or constant positional indices.
