Extending LLM Context via Associative Recurrent Memory

Gleb Kuzmin, Ivan Rodkin, Aydar Bulatov, Yuri Kuratov, Lyudmila Rvanova

his paper introduces the Associative Recurrent Memory Transformer (ARMT) to overcome the context length limitations of standard transformers. ARMT achieves constant memory scaling and improved efficiency by incorporating an associative recurrent memory mechanism. The authors also contribute domain-specific long-context datasets and a training recipe that combines pre-training, synthetic data, and curriculum learning to effectively extend LLM context.

Base LLM architecture (left) and ARMT architecture (right). ARMT divides the input text into segments and processes them sequentially, allowing the model to handle long contexts.

Comparison of post-training pipelines. (a) Serial : Sequential domain exploration, risking catastrophic forgetting. (b) Parallel : Parallel domain exploration followed by unified policy alignment. (c) Proxy Asynchronous (Ours) : A proxy model conducts asynchronous exploration; extracted signals are subsequently transferred to various primary models. Decoupling these update signals from the base model enables seamless propagation and reuse.

HyperSafe pipeline. Stages 1–3 (training, one-time): fine-tune the base model on each training domain (1), train a domain-specific SSN per fine-tuned checkpoint (2), and train the hypernetwork to map activation fingerprints to SSN weights (3). Stage 4 (deployment): for any new fine-tuned model, extract calibration activations and generate a model-specific SSN in a single forward pass.

HyperSafe: Inference-Time Safety Recovery for Fine-Tuned Language Models

Aznaur Aliev, Carlos Hinojosa et al.

HyperSafe addresses the fragility of safety in fine-tuned language models by proposing a post-hoc, model-specific approach. It generates a "Safe Side Network" (SSN) for each fine-tuned model by learning a mapping from layer-wise activation fingerprints to SSN …
