Pointwise complexity-gated inference

Use a local chaining complexity computed from an empirical input metric to predict stochastic output error for each individual input. Easy, locally concentrated inputs can use fewer dropout, ensemble, or diffusion samples, while high-complexity inputs receive additional computation; unlike a global confidence threshold, the allocation varies with the input.

Channel-aware attention-head pruning

Prune redundant attention heads using separate similarity scores for sink behavior and content routing. Two heads are considered safely redundant only when their normalized content compositions are close in Aitchison distance and their sink-mass trajectories are also close, avoiding pruning decisions dominated by a shared sink token.
