Removing the left context from a causal language model reveals a useful kind of boundary: an edge where the model processes the same right-hand tokens with little change. We turn this observation into prefix-removal probing and introduce Right Reset (RR), which measures preservation of the right-hand hidden-state trajectory.
arXiv:2608. 04021v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cloze-style probes that vary how often a target token appears implicitly assume that more copies of a target affect prediction the same way regardless of where the readout slot sits.
arXiv:2606. 28876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language models often conflate two different goals: compressing history into an efficient state, and maintaining reliable long-term memory.
arXiv:2607. 18302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive language models are least accurate at the beginning of a sequence, where little context forces reliance on a generic pretraining prior.
arXiv:2607. 01792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While decoder-only LLMs excel at a vast array of natural language tasks, it suffers from an asymmetric information flow induced by causal attention: later tokens are richer in contextual grounding than earlier ones.
arXiv:2606. 17034v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-hoc context erasing over the KV cache is challenging because a local edit has a global consequence: once a span has been processed, its influence propagates into the cached states of all subsequent tokens.
