Square-Root Trick Beats Attribution Curse
A new approach called CoReMem targets memory costs across successive coding tasks, accompanied by a sketching method that estimates LOO attribution with far fewer model calls.

🔥 What happened
Researchers from Google and collaborators show you can estimate all leave-one-out attributions with O(√log(1/ε)/ε) model calls instead of n. The key move: apply forward differentiation to the backpropagation circuit, not the forward one.
💡 Why it matters
For a 10,000-token prompt, that's a drop from 10,000 evaluations to a few hundred at the same error bound. Prompt debugging and retrieval attribution suddenly become practical instead of academic.
âš¡ Our take
A rare paper that's both asymptotically elegant and immediately useful. If you're still brute-forcing LOO values, you're burning compute for nothing.
