Researchers have introduced DepthGraft, a novel hierarchical KV-sharing architecture designed to improve the performance of large language models by addressing information dilution in deep layers. This method reconstructs deep-layer KV representations from stride-aligned shallow-middle source pairs, enabling non-local gradient flow and enriching KV content subspaces. Experiments on models ranging from 0.5B to 16B parameters demonstrated consistent downstream improvements, including a 7.0% absolute gain on MMLU-Pro for a 16B MoE model. AI
