GenAI Daily for Practitioners

Executive Summary • Here are the concise, non-sensationalist bullets for enterprise practitioners: • Diffusion LLM Inference: Local determinism propagation accelerates inference by 1.5x-2.5x, with negligible accuracy loss, using 10% less memory (arXiv:2510.07081v1). • TokenWeave: Distributed LLM inference achieves 2.5x-4x speedup and 1.5x-2.5x memory reduction by overlapping compute and communication (arXiv:2505.11329v3). • Artificial Hippocampus Networks: Long-context modeling is improved by 10%-20% with 2-5x fewer parameters, using a novel network architecture (arXiv:2510.07318v1). • AudioMarathon: A benchmark for long-context audio understanding and efficiency in audio LLMs, with 12 datasets and 23 tasks, including audio classification, tagging, and summarization (arXiv:2510.07293v1). • LAD-RAG: Layout-aware dynamic RAG for visually-rich document understanding achieves 5%-10% better performance than state-of-the-art methods, with 10%-20% fewer parameters (arXiv
