LCLMs are scaled 0.6B-encoder 4B-decoder compressors pre-trained on over 350B tokens that improve the Pareto frontier for general-task performance, compression speed, and peak memory in long-context language model inference.

GroundedCache reduces unsafe-served rate in RAG answer caching to 0-1.5% (vs 15-51.5% naive) via four validation gates while keeping p50 latency within 1.07x of no-cache baseline.
Larger LLM compressors in lossy setups often yield less faithful context reconstructions due to knowledge overwriting and semantic drift, with mid-sized models outperforming larger ones across 27 tested configurations.
MiniPIC enables multiple position-independent caching methods inside vLLM via unrotated KV storage, per-request RoPE application, and three primitives, delivering 49% prefill throughput gains and up to 100x lower cached-span TTFT on 2WikiMultihopQA.
Merlin achieves byte-exact deduplication of text at up to 8.7 GB/s using SIMD-optimized hashing, reducing LLM context sizes by 13.9-71% with no data loss.
Byte-exact deduplication reduces RAG context size by 0.16% to 80.34% across three regimes with zero measurable quality regression per multi-vendor LLM evaluation.
