The Latent Space: Foundation, Evolution, Mechanism, Ability, and Outlook

Xinlei Yu, Zhangquan Chen, Yongbo He +36

Latent space is rapidly emerging as a native substrate for language-based models. While modern systems are still commonly understood through explicit token-level generation, an inc…

Reducing Latency of LLM Search Agent via Speculation-based Algorithm-System Co-Design

Zixiao Huang, Wen Zeng, Tianyu Fu +10

LLM-based search agents achieve strong performance but suffer from severe latency, as each step requires serialized LLM reasoning followed by action of tool execution. We revisit t…
