Video vision-language models (VLMs) keep paying for visual state the stream already told us was stable. The factory wall did not move, but most VLM pipelines still hand the model dense RGB frames or a fresh prefix again. We study that waste…
A practical large language model (LLM) service may involve a long system prompt, which specifies the instructions, examples, and knowledge documents of the task and is reused across requests. However, the long system prompt causes…
