LLMAR is a tuning‑free recommendation framework designed for sparse, text‑rich industrial B2B domains. It transforms user behavioral history into structured semantic motives using LLM inference, employs a reflection loop to self‑correct hallucinations, and operates cost‑effectively with asynchronous batch processing. Experiments on MovieLens‑1M, Amazon Prime Pantry, and a construction risk dataset show LLMAR surpasses state‑of‑the‑art learning models, achieving up to a 54.6% nDCG@10 improvement while keeping inference costs around $1 per 1,000 users.

The paper "Towards Optimizing SQL Generation via LLM Routing" proposes a routing approach for Text-to-SQL tasks that dynamically selects the most cost‑effective large language model (LLM) for each query. Two routing strategies—score‑based and classification‑based—are introduced, achieving accuracy comparable to the best LLM while reducing latency and monetary cost. The authors design the routers for easy training and efficient inference, and demonstrate a practical accuracy‑cost trade‑off on the BIRD dataset.

arXiv:2602. 02025v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: ML models critically depend on feature quality, yet in real-world settings, useful features are often distributed across multiple relational tables rather than a single dataset.

STEER is a sampling method for relational foundation models that reduces inference cost by focusing on the most relevant tables for a prediction task. It uses a large language model to rank foreign‑key edges in the database schema into relevance tiers, then assigns traversal probabilities based on these tiers. Evaluated on three state‑of‑the‑art RFMs, STEER cuts inference context size by roughly 40% on average while preserving or improving accuracy.
