A GEMM-centric taxonomy and unified benchmark show static depth pruning as the strongest Pareto-optimal baseline for LLM inference acceleration, with the frontier shifting to dynamic depth then static width pruning as quality loss rises.

Louver is a new index for LLM KV caches that guarantees zero false negatives for keys above a relevance threshold, runs faster than prior sparse and some dense attention methods, and integrates lightly into existing pipelines.
Continuous latent-vector compression improves BLEU scores on repository-level code tasks by up to 28.3% at 4x compression while cutting inference latency.
Kimi Linear hybridizes linear attention with a new KDA module to beat full attention on tasks while slashing KV cache by 75% and speeding decoding up to 6x.
VFA optimizes Flash Attention by pre-computing global max approximations from key blocks and reordering traversal to reduce vector bottlenecks while preserving exact computation.
A data-parameter correspondence unifies data-centric and parameter-centric LLM optimizations as dual geometric operations on the statistical manifold via Fisher-Rao metric and Legendre duality.
A survey of large-model inference optimization, organized as a four-layer 'token-operations' taxonomy: multi-model fusion, model optimization, compute-model fusion, and compute-network-model fusion.
