  • The Key to Going Linear: Analysis-Driven Transformer Linearization

    This paper presents a method for converting pretrained transformers into linear-time architectures by focusing on the efficiency of state update designs. By analyzing softmax attention through a first-order approximation, the authors prove that delta-style updates are superior for post hoc linearization.

  • Program-as-Weights: A Programming Paradigm for Fuzzy Functions

    The researchers present Program-as-Weights (PAW), a paradigm that shifts LLM usage from expensive per-input API calls to a 'compile-once, run-locally' model using neural adapters. This approach allows small, specialized models to outperform massive foundation models on specific fuzzy tasks while maintaining high efficiency and privacy.

  • Distill to Detect: Exposing Stealth Biases in LLMs through Cartridge Distillation

    This paper presents Distill to Detect (D2D), a technique for identifying stealthy, topic-specific biases in language models that evade standard detection. By distilling the distributional shift of a suspected model into a small prefix adapter, the method amplifies hidden signals until they become visible in generated text.
