arXiv:2607.08399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models process prompts by propagating activations through dozens of layers before generating a response. We ask whether the task-relevant information contained in an instruction prompt can be compressed into a single activation vector and re-injected into the model, replacing the original token sequence? We show this is achievable using a learned weighted sum of activations extracted at an intermediate layer and injected at an early layer of the target LLM. The compressed vector preserves task-relevant information, incurring an acc
The rapid development and scale-up of Large Language Models necessitate continuous innovation in efficiency and computational resource management.
This research provides a method to significantly reduce the computational cost and latency of LLM inference, making advanced AI applications more accessible and scalable.
Prompt processing for LLMs can become dramatically more efficient, potentially enabling new real-time applications and reducing the barriers to entry for deploying complex AI systems.
