Researchers have developed Spectral-LSH, a novel training-free method to compress long prompts for language models, addressing the quadratic scaling issue in prefill attention. This technique approximates attention-kernel operators using Krylov subspace methods and random features, then employs SimHash to group similar tokens into macro-tokens. Evaluations on Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 and Qwen2.5 models demonstrated that Spectral-LSH effectively preserves quality at higher compression ratios (8x and 16x) where simpler chunking methods falter, with adaptive backends combining both approaches.
