Matterhorn: Masked Time-to-First-Spike Encoding by Reassigning the Silent State for Sparse and Energy-Efficient Spiking Transformers

arXiv:2601. 22876v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) promise energy-efficient inference for large language models (LLMs), yet most reported savings rely on compute-operation counts that overlook data movement.
