The Retrieval Channel Got a Smaller Pipe
GRIP bottlenecks evidence so it carries information the full-capacity query representation does not already contain.
Summary
GRIP bottlenecks evidence so it carries information the full-capacity query representation does not already contain.
Across five reasoning benchmarks, the authors report roughly a 30-fold drop in a query-latent mutual-information diagnostic and a 73 percent reduction in hallucination relative to their baselines. The capacity asymmetry targets query dominance, but benchmark improvements do not guarantee grounding on arbitrary corpora.
Why it matters
GRIP bottlenecks evidence so it carries information the full-capacity query representation does not already contain.
