Fast KV Compaction via Attention Matching
- cadamsdotcom 8mo agoSuperficially it sounds like this could create a bit more of a move toward doing compaction on some continuous basis, or compacting in batches once you hit the context limit, rather than starting fresh with a summary and system prompt.. Feels like high fidelity, fast compaction could be a path to “solving” long context.

- esafak 8mo agoNone of the compaction accuracies look impressive.
- WarmWash 8mo agoConsidering the insanity of the AI arms race going on now, and the incredible sums of money be thrown at any slight advantage, is there any reason to believe that any meaningful AI breakthrough would be openly published for anyone to leverage?
- mikodin 8mo agoI would say yes. The reality is that the money being thrown = the time of humans. I guess compute as well, but in terms of people doing innovation - openly published things are the same thing, minus the money.
- abeppu 8mo agoI do sometimes wonder -- if the transformers paper wasn't published, what would the industry be like? Would the same ideas have been put together in almost the same way weeks or months later somewhere else?
- 542458 8mo agoThese folks are MIT, so citations are valuable to them. Citations convert into prestige, academic career progression, or a favorable exit from academia into industry. Also, I don't see why you couldn't patent this if you wanted to monetize it.
- BetaDeltaAlpha 8mo ago> Also, I don't see why you couldn't patent this if you wanted to monetize it. We all just saw the prior art published for the public. That will preclude patenting this work. Further reduction to practice is required. (I am not a lawyer).
- cma 8mo agoThe inventor's grace period under first to file changes still gives them/their university a year to file if they publish openly.
- gdiamos 8mo agoI know the frontier “labs” are holding back publications. I don’t think it will last among researchers who think beyond production LLMs
- cs702 8mo agoThis looks promising. I've added it to my reading list.
