We propose Rashomon Alignment (RA), a new measure to assess functional similarity between two models. Existing functional similarity measures are distributional, quantifying differences between outputs of models applied to real-world data.
arXiv:2608. 15402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative model alignment has received broad interest, and significant progress has been made in supervised fine-tuning and inference-time computation.

arXiv:2606. 27242v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training-free source selection for LLM families with shared vocabularies arises in scientific string domains such as SMILES, protein, and genomic sequences, where candidate corpora share a tokenizer but differ in prediction targets.
