MSA: Memory Sparse Attention for Efficient End-to-End Memory Model Scaling to 100M Tokens

Researchers present Memory Sparse Attention (MSA), a new AI framework that enables language models to process up to 100 million tokens with linear complexity and less than 9% performance degradation. The technology addresses current limitations in long-term memory processing and can run 100M-token inference on just 2 GPUs, potentially revolutionizing applications like large-corpus analysis and long-history reasoning.

CSAttention: Centroid-Scoring Attention for Accelerating LLM Inference

Researchers introduce CSAttention, a training-free sparse attention method that accelerates LLM inference by 4.6x for long-context applications. The technique optimizes the offline-prefill/online-decode workflow by precomputing query-centric lookup tables, enabling faster token generation without sacrificing accuracy even at 95% sparsity levels.

Taking Shortcuts for Categorical VQA Using Super Neurons

Researchers introduce Super Neurons (SNs), a new method that probes raw activations in Vision Language Models to improve classification performance while achieving up to 5.10x speedup. Unlike Sparse Attention Vectors, SNs can identify discriminative neurons in shallow layers, enabling extreme early exiting from the first layer at the first generated token.
