How New LLM Architectures Like Gemma 4 and DeepSeek V4 Cut Long‑Context Costs
The article surveys recent open‑weight LLM releases—Gemma 4, Laguna XS.2, ZAYA1‑8B and DeepSeek V4—detailing how KV‑cache sharing, per‑layer embeddings, layer‑wise attention budgeting, compressed convolutional attention and manifold‑constrained hyper‑connections dramatically reduce memory and compute for ultra‑long contexts while preserving model quality.
