Long-context large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, yet self-attention remains a major efficiency bottleneck -- especially during decoding -- due to the necessity of repeatedly processing ever-growing key-value (KV) caches. Existing sparse attention reduce…
Visual Autoregressive Modeling (VAR) based on next-scale prediction achieves strong generation quality, but their explicit deep stacks fix the amount of computation per scale and inflate memory at high resolutions. We introduce Visual Implicit Autoregressive Modeling (VIAR), a next-scale autoregress…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) demand considerable computations for inference due to the extensive parameters and the additional input tokens needed for visual information representation. Herein, we introduce Visual Tokens Withdrawal (VTW), a plug-and-play module to boost MLLMs for rapid i…
