Cartridges++: KV Cache Compression without Off-Context Derailment
Sonia Laguna, Joao Monteiro, Marco Cuturi +2
Serving long documents to a Large Language Model (LLM) repeatedly is expensive: computations grow with context length, and the memory footprint of the key-value (KV) cache balloons…
KV-Lingo: Learning KV-Cache Translators with Distillation
Valérie Castin, Keitaro Sakamoto, Anastasiia Filippova +3
Large language models represent context with a key-value (KV) cache. Caches are model-specific: for the same text, models with different architectures or weights produce incompatib…
DynaMiCS: Fine-tuning LLMs with Performance Constraints using Dynamic Mixtures
Eleonora Gualdoni, Sonia Laguna, Louis Bethune +3
Multi-domain fine-tuning of large language models requires improving performance on target domains while preserving previous capabilities, such as general knowledge, instruction fo…
Nectar: Neural Estimation of Cached-Token Attention via Regression
João Monteiro, Michal Klein, Pierre Ablin +1
Evaluating softmax attention over a fixed long context requires reading every cached key-value pair for each new query token. For a given context (a book, a manual, a legal corpus)…
LaCy: What Small Language Models Can and Should Learn is Not Just a Question of Loss
Szilvia Ujváry, Louis Béthune, Pierre Ablin +3
Language models have consistently grown to compress more world knowledge into their parameters, but the knowledge that can be pretrained into them is upper-bounded by their paramet…
