Spike-Aware C++ INT8 Inference for Sparse Spiking Language Models on Commodity CPUs

ArXi:2606.03026v1 Announce Type: cross Spiking language models expose activation sparsity that dense Transformer runtimes do not directly exploit. This paper studies that property from a systems perspective. Building on the SymbolicLight V1 spike-gated language model family, we implement a C++ CPU inference runtime that treats sparse binary spike states as an execution primitive rather than only applying post-hoc weight compression.
