SLaB: Sparse-Lowrank-Binary Decomposition for Efficient Large Language Models

arXiv:2604.04493v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid growth of large language models (LLMs) presents significant deployment challenges due to their massive computational and memory demands. While model compression, such as network pruning, offers potential solutions, most existing methods often fail to maintain good performance at high compression ratios. To address this, we propose SLaB, a novel framework that decomposes each linear layer weight into three complementary components: a sparse matrix, a low-rank matrix, and a binary matrix. SLaB eliminates the need for retraining and leverages activation-aware pruning scores to guide the decomposition process. Experiments on Llama-family models demonstrate that SLaB achieves state-of-the-art performance, reducing perplexity by up to 36% compared to existing methods at 50% compression and improving accuracy by up to 8.98% over the baseline on zero-shot tasks.

FileGram: Grounding Agent Personalization in File-System Behavioral Traces

arXiv:2604.04901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coworking AI agents operating within local file systems are rapidly emerging as a paradigm in human-AI interaction; however, effective personalization remains limited by severe data constraints, as strict privacy barriers and the difficulty of jointly collecting multimodal real-world traces prevent scalable training and evaluation, and existing methods remain interaction-centric while overlooking dense behavioral traces in file-system operations; to address this gap, we propose FileGram, a comprehensive framework that grounds agent memory and personalization in file-system behavioral traces, comprising three core components: (1) FileGramEngine, a scalable persona-driven data engine that simulates realistic workflows and generates fine-grained multimodal action sequences at scale; (2) FileGramBench, a diagnostic benchmark grounded in file-system behavioral traces for evaluating memory systems on profile reconstruction, trace disentanglement, persona drift detection, and multimodal grounding; and (3) FileGramOS, a bottom-up memory architecture that builds user profiles directly from atomic actions and content deltas rather than dialogue summaries, encoding these traces into procedural, semantic, and episodic channels with query-time abstraction; extensive experiments show that FileGramBench remains challenging for state-of-the-art memory systems and that FileGramEngine and FileGramOS are effective, and by open-sourcing the framework, we hope to support future research on personalized memory-centric file-system agents.
