arXiv:2605. 09370v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large-scale AI training is now fundamentally a distributed systems problem, and hardware failures have become routine operating conditions rather than rare exceptions.
arXiv:2608. 07226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Compact AI systems make local language-model experimentation increasingly accessible, yet practical evidence for multi-node training on desktop-class accelerators remains limited.

We report operational experience full-fine-tuning a 32. 76B-parameter dense model (Qwen3-32B) on 16 x NVIDIA B300 (two nodes, FSDP / ZeRO-3) -- among the first published field accounts on this accelerator.
arXiv:2607. 01409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GPU training jobs fail often, roughly two in five on large production clusters, yet the operator typically learns of a failure only by reconnecting hours later.
Leto is a fault‑tolerant training system for large language models that enables fast in‑place recovery on surviving hardware after hardware‑operable failures. It retains the working model state and reusable process state, while pre‑initializing remaining state in a shadow trainer, using two‑tier erasure protection and chunk‑level transactional updates to maintain consistency. Experiments on NVIDIA A100 clusters show Leto recovers 3.6–6.5× faster than checkpointing baselines and boosts productive training time by up to 13.7 percentage points, with simulations indicating over 95% productivity on a 131,072‑GPU cluster.

arXiv:2607. 01646v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State-of-the-art large language model (LLM) training takes tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs) for months and encounters failures across the software and hardware stack.
State-of-the-art large language model (LLM) training takes tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs) for months and encounters failures across the software and hardware stack. Existing fault-tolerance mechanisms either impose non-trivial overhead during failure-free execution or suffer from prolonged recovery latency, particularly under scenarios where a small subset of compute nodes experience permanent failures.

arXiv:2608. 12123v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-agent services repeatedly execute small deterministic transitions between model and tool calls: route an outcome, update state, and emit the next effect.
The paper evaluates a learned request‑routing policy for disaggregated large‑language‑model serving, where compute‑heavy prefill and memory‑heavy decode stages run on separate GPU pools. Using a discrete‑event simulator and real NVIDIA A40 GPUs, the calibrated router—leveraging prompt length, predicted output length, KV‑cache pressure, and SLO class—outperforms round‑robin, least‑loaded, and length‑based heuristics, achieving the highest mean goodput (0.864) and lowest variance across three mixed, bursty arrival traces. Hardware calibration proves critical, providing a 4.5‑point goodput boost and roughly 40 % of the tail‑latency advantage, and the learned router can match round‑robin performance with one fewer GPU in certain scenarios.
