Latent Memory cuts QA token use with latent evidence compression

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] · 2026-06-09 08:36

Researchers have developed a new method called Latent Memory for question answering systems that use multimodal evidence. This approach compresses text and image evidence into single high-dimensional latent tokens, significantly reducing token consumption during generation. By operating in a unified latent space, Latent Memory achieves competitive performance on various QA benchmarks while using 3x to 10x fewer generator tokens than traditional retrieval-based methods.

One Token per Multimodal Evidence: Latent Memory for Resource-Constrained QA

External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence. However, existing memory paradigms represent each memory item in raw text and image forms, so retrieval-based systems …
