Dynamic Linear Attention

arXiv:2606. 10650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The scalability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to long contexts is fundamentally constrained by the quadratic complexity of standard attention, motivating the adoption of linear attention mechanisms with sub-quadratic cost.

Blurry Window Attention

arXiv:2606. 09862v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Softmax Attention operation in Transformer language models has a quadratic complexity in the sequence length and a growing state size in the form of KV cache, which becomes a bottleneck in long context scenarios.

AI Application Gives Users Real-Time Feedback on the Level of Peace in the Social Media Videos They Watch

arXiv:2601. 05232v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most people now get their news from videos on social media, such as YouTube and Facebook, rather than through curated journalism.

Role-Agent: Bootstrapping LLM Agents via Dual-Role Evolution

arXiv:2606. 10917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated strong performance on complex tasks, their learning is often limited by inefficient interaction feedback and static training environments, which hinder broader generalization.

STORM: Stepwise Token Optimization with Reward-Guided Beam Search

arXiv:2606. 10621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern retrieval increasingly relies on dense and learned-sparse neural models that are effective but require encoding the entire corpus into a specialized index, rebuilt whenever the model changes.

A Theory of Training Profit-Optimal LLMs

arXiv:2605. 16430v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling LLMs requires tremendous computational resources, and recent advances in AI have gone hand in hand with massive amounts of capital expenditure.

Fact-Augmented Lookahead Planning for LLM Agents

arXiv:2506. 09171v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly capable, but LLM agents still struggle to plan effectively in interactive, partially observable, long-horizon environments when search is unguided or recent history is insufficient.
