Fixed block causal masks create reachability boundaries where representations depend only on block prefixes, formalized via dependency sets and phase-conditioned coverage functions, with a parameter-free boundary bridge repair.

On a real multi-node H100 cluster the authors show that for MLA, routing the ~1 KB compressed query row is cheaper than moving cache chunks and supply a topology-aware cost model accurate to ~7% on IBGDA fabrics.
MosaicKV achieves up to 16x attention speedup, 4.8x lower decode latency, 7.3x higher throughput, and 3x memory reduction with 1.76% accuracy loss via dynamic two-D KV cache compression and management on H800 GPUs.
ThriftAttention recovers 89.1% of the FP16 quality gap versus pure FP4 attention by running only 5% of query-key blocks in FP16 on long-context benchmarks.
ScalingAttention discovers a prompt-agnostic intrinsic sparse attention topology in video DiTs via weight-encoded extraction (WEST) and fidelity-aware tuning (FAST), delivering up to 1.9x speedup.
Token-Superposition Training combines multiple tokens into bags for multi-hot cross-entropy pre-training followed by a recovery phase, yielding up to 2.5x reduction in training time at 10B scale under equal-loss conditions.
SparseBalance dynamically adjusts sparsity and batches workloads to load-balance sparse attention training, delivering up to 1.33x speedup and 0.46% better long-context performance on LongBench.
BFLA is a two-stage block-filtered sparse prefill attention mechanism that constructs an input-dependent block mask and applies tile-level rescues to skip unimportant KV tiles while preserving exact attention inside retained tiles, delivering speedups on models like Llama 3.1 with minimal accuracy 0
