New NGM module enhances LLMs with training-free memory

Researchers have developed N-gram Memory (NGM), a novel module designed to enhance Large Language Models (LLMs) without requiring additional training. NGM leverages a model's existing pretrained token embeddings as a memory store, utilizing a Causal N-Gram Encoder and a Cosine-Gated Memory Injector. This plug-and-play approach avoids the need for separate memory banks or complex retrieval systems. NGM has demonstrated consistent performance improvements across various benchmarks and model backbones, including Qwen3 and Llama-3.2-Instruct, and has also shown efficacy with vision-language models like Qwen3-VL-2B.

    NGM: A Plug-and-Play Training-Free Memory Module for LLMs

    arXiv:2605.16893v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent studies have introduced memory-augmented architectures that decouple knowledge storage from neural computation, enabling more direct access to stored representations. However, existing approaches often rely on learned mem…
