AbridgeKV: Compressing Long Reasoning into the KV Cache of Learned Pause Tokens

Jack Cai, Lijie Yang, Vasilis Kontonis +2

Long chain-of-thought decoding is memory-bound: the KV cache of the generated tokens grows linearly with the test-time compute being spent. Evicting cache entries does not fix this…

Thought-Level Beam Search for Reasoning

Lijie Yang, Hongyin Luo, Jiawei Zhao +2

Test-time compute scaling is a primary driver of performance in large reasoning models (LRMs), but extreme inefficiency bounds current approaches, shifting the critical question fr…

Event Tensor: A Unified Abstraction for Compiling Dynamic Megakernel

Hongyi Jin, Bohan Hou, Guanjie Wang +18

Modern GPU workloads, especially large language model (LLM) inference, suffer from kernel launch overheads and coarse synchronization that limit inter-kernel parallelism. Recent me…

Axe: A Simple Unified Layout Abstraction for Machine Learning Compilers

Bohan Hou, Hongyi Jin, Guanjie Wang +7

Scaling modern deep learning workloads demands coordinated placement of data and compute across device meshes, memory hierarchies, and heterogeneous accelerators. We present Axe La…
