Researchers have identified a significant issue where Chain-of-Thought (CoT) fine-tuning, intended to boost reasoning, inadvertently degrades long-context recall in hybrid Large Language Models. This problem, termed 'attention amnesia,' causes retrieval performance to drop substantially, particularly in models like HypeNet and Jet-Nemotron. To address this, a new training-free method called QK-Restore has been proposed, which selectively restores specific attention parameters from a pre-fine-tuning state. This technique successfully recovers long-context capabilities without compromising reasoning abilities. AI
