A byte crossover is derived, the context length at which the two savings are equal, together with ideal speedup bounds for each branch and for their composition, from model dimensions and keep ratios alone and is derived at https://github.com/js-lee-AI/ByteCross.

It is found and estimated that different words carry different amounts of information, and less-informative words tend to absorb more contextual information, and finer-grained selectivity enables more precise routing to promote information transmission between matched words.

Training-free KV-cache compression methods such as SnapKV, H2O, and PyramidKV evict tokens at the end of prefill, aiming to preserve the attention mass that future queries are expected to use -optimizing what to keep. We show that this objective fails in two distinct ways. (1) Compensation: restoring the evicted attent...
On-Policy Attention Self-Distillation (OPASD), which complements token-level supervision with solution-conditioned attention distillation, shows that solution-conditioned attention provides a complementary supervision signal that makes on-policy self-distillation more accurate, stable, and compute-efficient.

This work studies language-model synthesis of Clifford circuits, which prepare the stabilizer states used in quantum error correction and admit exact classical verification, in a target-conditioned framework.

Group-relative reinforcement learning (RL) relies on reward variation among sampled responses to estimate informative relative advantages. As language models become increasingly capable, existing training data can become reward-saturated: all sampled responses to the same problem might receive equally high rewards, whe...

Tory of Scene (ToS), a training-free reasoning schema in which each agent reads its public role, the only difference between the agents, and the task context they all observe, is proposed, which outperforms all six baselines on every benchmark, and each baseline falls far behind it in at least one setting.

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
