提出UNIQUE框架，实现无需训练的高效长文本推理与稀疏感知训练。

Long-context inference in large language models (LLMs) is bottlenecked by the linear growth of the self-attention key-value (KV) cache. Top-k sparse attention alleviates this by loading only a small fraction of the KV cache, but accurately and cheaply estimating cache importance, for both training-free use and sparsity-aware training, remains challenging. This paper proposes UNIQUE, a universal top-k sparse attention framework that addresses both requirements and stays consistently effective across LLM modalities. UNIQUE operates at the granularity of KV pages and estimates per-page importance with a simple yet accurate score combining the mean of the page's keys as a representative vector with their standard deviation as an offset term. To further close the train-inference gap, this paper introduces a soft-mask sparsity-aware training scheme that uses the top-k score boundary as a per-query threshold and a sigmoid soft mask around it, requiring neither auxiliary losses nor architectural changes. Experiments on text and speech LLMs show that UNIQUE preserves task performance on long-context benchmarks such as LongBench Pro and on long-form speech recognition, while delivering up to 11.4x attention-kernel speedup over FlashInfer dense attention and at least 5.3x end-to-end decoding speedup over a vLLM-based dense model.
