Researchers from Stanford and UC Berkeley Introduce TokenGate: Token-Gated Attention Makes Long-Context Prefill Up to 11.3x Faster
Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers released TokenGate, a drop-in learned token pruning module for LLMs. It cuts long-context prefill time-to-first-token by 1.4x to 11.3x and peak memory by 1.5x to 3.4x without accuracy loss.
