Cross-Model KV Cache Transfer in LLM Families: A Closed-Form Linear Mapping for Prefill Reuse

arXiv:2608. 03893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production deployments often swap between different-sized models in a family for cost-quality cascading, mid-conversation switching, and routing, and each swap forces the receiver to repay the prefill from scratch.

Latent Reward Registers for Diffusion Preference Alignment

arXiv:2608. 03929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning diffusion models with human preferences usually relies on a sparse terminal reward evaluated on the final generated samples, presenting a severe temporal credit-assignment challenge across the multi-step denoising process.
