PLatour Enables Prefill-to-Autoregressive Cross-Model Transfer
Original title: On the Opportunities and Challenges of Prefill-to-Autoregressive Cross-Model Transfer
PLatour framework shows promise in balancing capabilities and costs but gains may not require true sender-receiver communication.
PACT combines larger model prompt representations with smaller efficient generation via latent communication. PLatour introduces open-source framework with lightweight linear bridges for frozen models. Experiments demonstrate outperformance on generation tasks yet reveal that improvements can arise from adaptation mechanisms rather than genuine cross-model information transfer.
- Outperforms open-source baselines on generation tasks
- Surpasses Mostik results on shared mathematics and coding benchmarks
- Controlled experiments show gains reproducible by uninformative signals
- Introduces PACT-Check to quantify genuine communication gains

Prefill-to-Autoregressive Cross-model Transfer (PACT), a form of latent communication between language models, combines a larger model's prompt representations with a smaller model's efficient generation, offering a promising way to balance capability and inference cost.
