New paper: Latent Context Language Models (LCLMs)!
Idea: encode 16 tokens as 1 latent token, and have the LLM work on top of the latent tokens. Result: general-purpose model with much better performance / speed / memory usage frontier. https://t.co/ldsBOVkmFF

NVIDIA proposes a method to convert any LLM into a faster one by splitting it into two copies: one frozen for context, the other trained to generate multiple tokens in parallel, achieving 2.4x speedup with ~99% quality retention using only 8% of training data.
Hidden Decoding at Scale: Latent Computation Scaling for Large Language Models
This paper introduces Hidden Decoding, a sequence-length scaling method for LLMs that adds internal computation per token by expanding each token into multiple streams with independent embeddings, using Stream-Factorized Attention to keep costs low. Experiments on models up to 617B parameters show consistent improvements over baselines, demonstrating a practical fixed-backbone scaling path.
