Latent Context LMs compress prompts 16x — Encoder-decoder prompt compression

Описание: Latent Context LMs are encoder–decoder language models that compress a long prompt into a much shorter sequence of latent embeddings the decoder reads directly as if they were tokens.

A long prompt is expensive because the decoder's prefill pass and KV cache both grow with the number of positions it processes. Latent Context LMs add a small 0.6B-parameter encoder that squeezes the prompt into latents a 4B-parameter decoder reads natively — trained end-to-end on 350B+ tokens — reaching 1:4, 1:8, and 1:16 compression, so a 16,000-token prompt becomes about 1,000 latent positions and prefill, the KV cache, and the attention sweep all shrink with it.
