  "summary": "The quadratic cost of attention-based sequence models for long contexts has motivated a growing line of research on memory-based models that can compress context into a compact state. However, most existing memory models expose a static memory throughout the entire sequence. Because early tokens face no compression pressure, they occupy too many degrees of freedom and \"pollute\" the memory state,…",
