How Engram’s Conditional Memory Redefines Sparsity in Large Language Models

DeepSeek’s newly released Engram module introduces a conditional memory mechanism that leverages O(1) N‑gram lookup to create a new sparsity axis for large language models, reducing early‑layer compute, improving inference efficiency, and delivering notable performance gains across reasoning and knowledge tasks, as demonstrated by extensive experiments on 27‑billion‑parameter models.
