Long-context capability has become increasingly critical for next-generation Large Language Models (LLMs). However, the quadratic time complexity of standard softmax attention introduces substantial computation and memory overhead as sequence length grows, limiting the scalability of LLMs in long-context scenarios. Beyond existing approaches such as linear recurrent architectures and KV-cache compression methods, we propose Kwai Summary Attention (KSA), a novel attention mechanism that reduces sequence modeling cost by compressing historical contexts into learnable summary tokens. Specifically, summary tokens are periodically inserted into the input sequence and interleaved with text tokens, partitioning the sequence into distinct chunks while enabling text tokens and summary tokens to operate under different attention scopes. This design preserves dense local expressiveness through full attention among neighboring text tokens, while modeling long-range dependencies efficiently via summary tokens. Empirical results demonstrate that hybrid-KSA consistently outperforms existing hybrid attention variants in long-context modeling. Moreover, KSA is fully orthogonal to GQA and MLA during inference, and combining KSA with these methods achieves up to 8x KV-cache compression while preserving model performance.

The powerful generative capacity of Large Language Models (LLMs) has instigated a paradigm shift in recommendation. However, existing generative models (e.g., OneRec) operate as implicit predictors, critically lacking the capacity for explicit and controllable reasoning—a key advantage of LLMs. To bridge this gap, we propose OneRec-Think, a unified framework that seamlessly integrates dialogue, reasoning, and personalized recommendation. OneRec-Think incorporates: (1) Itemic Alignment: cross-modal Item-Textual Alignment for semantic grounding; (2) Reasoning Activation: Reasoning Scaffolding to activate LLM reasoning within the recommendation context; and (3) Reasoning Enhancement, where we design a recommendation-specific reward function that accounts for the multi-validity nature of user preferences. Experiments across public benchmarks show state-of-the-art performance. Moreover, our proposed “Think-Ahead” architecture enables effective industrial deployment, achieving a 0.159% gain in APP Stay Time and validating the practical efficacy of the model’s explicit reasoning capability.
