Researchers have introduced sub-token routing as a novel method for enhancing transformer efficiency, offering a more granular compression approach than existing techniques. This method focuses on routing within a token's representation, exploring both query-independent and query-aware settings. Experiments indicate that combining sub-token routing with token-level selection allows for significant KV compression while maintaining high task accuracy. AI
