TokenGate: Adapting LLMs for Fast and Memory-Efficient Prefill with Learned Token Pruning

概要

Expert human readers process large inputs (e.g., code repositories and long documents) by skimming to closely read only what matters. On the other hand, language models process all input tokens through each model layer, resulting in significant processing costs for long-context inputs. We introduce TokenGate, a small, drop-in component that extends existing trained models to enable end-to-end learnable token pruning over long-context inputs for fast and memory-efficient prefill. To enable end-to-end learning despite the non-differentiable top-K operator for token pruning, we introduce token-gated attention, a mechanism inspired by Mixture-of-Experts that re-weights attention logits using token importance scores. Across diverse tasks, TokenGate achieves 1.4-11.3times faster time-to-first token (TTFT) and 1.5-3.4times lower peak memory at no accuracy degradation for prefill in transformers. Compared to the best-performing prior methods for token-pruning, TokenGate gives up to 6.4times faster prefill and 2times lower peak memory. TokenGate natively extends both standard transformers (e.g., Qwen3) and hybrid-attention models (e.g., Qwen3.5) with simple lightweight adaptation comparable to standard parameter-efficient fine-tuning.
