Week 22, 2026 — Efficient Architectures & Inference
Efficiency research delivered creative approaches this week — from hysteresis-based attention to margin-gated verification to near-optimal I/O for attention. MarginGate: 100% Deterministic Decoding at Fraction of the Cost MarginGate by Kexin Chu et al. observes that batch-induced token flips affect only 0.3-1.3% of decoding steps. MarginGate verifies only low-margin steps (identified by logit margin thresholds)…

The Year AI Learned to Plan Before It Rendered: Video & Image Generation’s Architecture Shift
37 papers surveyed | May 2025 – May 2026 — Video and image generation research hit a turning point this year. The field moved past the era of “more compute, better pixels” and discovered something more fundamental: the hardest problems in visual generation aren’t about rendering — they’re about planning what to render. The central…
