Abstract

This paper presents the Pattern-Aware Complexity Framework (PACF), a novel approach that dynamically detects and leverages patterns during Large Language Model (LLM) generation to reduce computational complexity while maintaining output quality. Key contributions: - Achieves 93.8% average Pattern Utilization Efficiency (PUE) across diverse text types - Introduces two novel metrics: PUE and Pattern Harnessing Coefficient (PHK) for evaluating pattern-aware generation systems - Demonstrates intelligent content adaptation with PHK ranging from 13.7% (natural conversation) to 86.6% (code generation) - Maintains production-ready performance with <1% overhead and 10.7 tokens/second generation speed - Provides theoretical framework linking pattern detection to computational complexity reduction - Implements real-time pattern detection using n-grams, suffix trees, and attention patterns The framework was evaluated on 450 samples across six text categories (repetitive sequences, code, predictive patterns, random text, WikiText, and natural conversation) with statistical validation confirming significance (p < 10^-6 for speed, p < 10^-9 for perplexity). PACF is architecture-agnostic and compatible with existing transformer models, offering a 10× efficiency improvement that enables deployment on resource-constrained devices and reduces infrastructure costs for LLM applications.
