SinkState uses adaptive low-rank factors to compress recurrent states in linear-attention models during decoding. It initializes factors with randomized SVD, buffers updates, and periodically compacts active directions while asynchronously consolidating frozen ones on CPU. The authors report average peak state memory at 0.52 of dense baselines and a 1.58× speedup on one MATH-500 test, with accuracy 0.7 points lower there.
