This work proposes an early-bird decoding framework, motivated by the observation that tokens with similarly low entropy tend to cluster and can be jointly decoded earlier, before reaching the confidence threshold, and integrates two key enablers: a learnable network that adaptively groups tokens with similar uncertainty into variable-length blocks, rather than relying on fixed block sizes.

This work uses the Headroom-Closed Index (HCI) to reveal the problems of existing LLMs, and introduces the RSI concept and its development roadmap: from improvement-execution autonomy, improvement-strategy autonomy, experience-acquisition autonomy, and environment-adaptation autonomy, to recursive meta-improvement.
