SemRF: A Semantic Reference Frame for Residual-Stream Dynamics in Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 32022v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residual-stream analysis asks how language-model computation evolves across depth, but intermediate decoding requires comparable readout coordinates across layers.

Nexus: Depth-Adaptive KV-Cache Splicing and Retrieval-Decoupled Tool Routing for Agentic LLMs on Unified Memory

Nexus introduces a depth‑adaptive KV‑cache splicing and retrieval‑decoupled tool routing mechanism for agentic large language models that reduces the time‑to‑first‑token (TTFT) by decoupling tool routing from the expensive schema re‑encoding step. It uses an INT8 semantic lookaside buffer to select tools via retrieval and generates arguments from a compressed textual signature, maintaining about 89% routing accuracy even as the tool registry scales to 250 tools. Additionally, Nexus can splice compiled schema KV blocks into the live context, repairing the seam with a depth‑adaptive suffix redecode when rotary position embedding drift exceeds a threshold, ensuring output fidelity while achieving up to 1.7× TTFT speedup at moderate depth.

Laguerre Geometry for Interpreting Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 10578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing hypotheses represent a concept in an LLM as a single point, a linear direction, or a Gaussian cluster, yet it remains unclear how and why such structures emerge.
