arXiv:2607. 07724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Block-sparse attention scales long-context language models by replacing the O(N^2) softmax with a per-query top-k selection over key blocks.
arXiv:2606. 13392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-long-context capability is becoming indispensable for frontier LLMs: agentic workflows, repository-scale code reasoning, and persistent memory all require the model to jointly attend over hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens, yet the quadratic cost of softmax attention makes this untenable at deployment scale.
arXiv:2606. 02608v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a Marchenko--Pastur (MP) random-matrix approach to pruning deep neural networks with very small post-pruning fine-tuning budgets.
arXiv:2608. 11669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning against rubrics, lists of criteria graded by an LLM judge, has become a standard way to post-train language models on tasks with no deterministic answer.
arXiv:2606. 01443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A central difficulty in training Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) is preventing representation collapse.
arXiv:2604. 17324v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global self-attention drives modern graph transformers, yet the softmax at its core imposes a structural constraint rarely examined directly: every attention row is non-negative and sums to one, so each per-head output is a mass-conserving convex combination of value vectors.
