Research progress on model internals spans Claude's hidden representation analysis, Hybrid SWA inference optimization, and PyTorch attention profiling.
Analysis
[Anthropic] released J-lens, a tool for analyzing Claude's internal hidden space [1]
- Developed the Jacobian lens (J-lens) technique
- Discovered a hidden region called J-space
- Exposes words the model is considering before generation
[Xiaomi MiMo] released MiMo-V2.5 Hybrid SWA inference optimization engineering [2]
- Reduced KVCache storage by approximately 1/7 using Hybrid Sliding Window Attention
- Reduced per-token computation via sparse MoE activation
- Integrated vision
- audio
- and video multimodal encoders
- MiMo-V2.5-Pro consists of a total of 70 layers
[Hugging Face] published Part 3 of the PyTorch attention profiling series [3]
- Compares naive attention
- in-place ops
- SDPA
- and custom kernels
- Uses an NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB GPU environment
- Decomposes and analyzes primitive operations like matmul
- softmax
- and masking
- Visualizes profile differences among techniques mitigating quadratic complexity
