DuoMem: Towards Capable On-Device Memory Agents via Dual-Space Distillation

arXiv:2606. 29961v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents can solve complex procedural tasks by interacting with environments over multiple turns, but this ability typically depends on large models, long contexts, and repeated inference calls.

DCC: Data-Centric Compilation of Machine Learning Kernels for Processing-In-Memory Architectures

arXiv:2511. 15503v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: High-performance Host processors can integrate Processing-In-Memory (PIM) devices, which can accelerate memory-intensive kernels of Machine Learning (ML) models, including Large Language Models (LLMs), by leveraging the large memory bandwidth available at PIM cores.

PIXELRAG: Web Screenshots Beat Text for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2606. 28344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Augmenting large language models (LLMs) with retrieved web text has become a dominant paradigm, yet the web is not natively textual: existing systems depend on complex parsing pipelines that linearize HTML and discard layout, visual structure, and formatting.

Predict, Reuse, and Repair: Accelerating Dynamic Sparse Attention for Long-Context LLM Decoding

arXiv:2606. 30389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dynamic sparse attention (DSA) accelerates long-context LLM decoding by attending to only the top-K KV blocks relevant to each query, but it introduces a serialized selection-to-attention dependency that emerges as a new latency bottleneck.
