arXiv:2607. 22577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling large language models (LLMs) has driven their success, yet dense Transformers couple capacity and computation: every parameter is activated for every token, making training and inference costs grow linearly with model size-a critical bottleneck as models approach trillion-parameter regimes.

arXiv:2604. 03444v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work has demonstrated the potential of non-transformer language models, especially linear recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and hybrid models that mix recurrence and attention.

arXiv:2606. 02559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training compression of Large Language Models (LLMs) removes entire architectural components, either deleting them or replacing them with fitted modules.

arXiv:2606. 27866v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models scale model ability with sparsely activated experts, making this architecture a standard recipe for modern large models.

arXiv:2605. 04913v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM post-training typically propagates task gradients through the full depth of the model.
