ProactiveLLM: Learning Active Interaction for Streaming Large Language Models

arXiv:2606.00523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard Large Language Models (LLMs) follow a read-then-generate paradigm, causing unnecessary latency and computation. Streaming LLMs alleviate this issue by generating while receiving inputs, but still struggle to decide when to interact with the stream. Existing methods either hard-code interaction timing or rely on costly external alignment signals, such as timing labels, reasoning trajectories, or stronger teachers. In this paper, we propose ProactiveLLM, which achieves active interaction by leveraging the model's endogenous states to guide

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous drive for efficiency in large language models, particularly in real-time interaction and inference, necessitates new approaches to manage computational resources and user experience.

Why it’s important

Improving the active interaction for streaming LLMs reduces latency and computational overhead, making these models more practical and scalable for real-time applications and agentic systems.

What changes

Traditional read-then-generate LLM paradigms are being challenged by reactive streaming methods, and now proactive, endogenous state-guided interaction promises even greater efficiency and responsiveness.
