arXiv:2608. 13315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a large language model (LLM) service in which a provider chooses a per-token price and a default reasoning-token allocation, while a user may accept the default, customize the allocation, or exit.
We study a large language model (LLM) service in which a provider chooses a per-token price and a default reasoning-token allocation, while a user may accept the default, customize the allocation, or exit. Larger allocations can improve accuracy but increase token cost and latency.
arXiv:2606. 03092v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inference-time scaling has emerged as a critical avenue for enhancing Large Language Models' performance, yet real-world deployment is constrained by strict computational budgets.

arXiv:2511. 00847v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) induces a critical vulnerability: the potential for dishonest manipulation by service providers.
The paper proposes an inference auction for large language model (LLM) APIs, enabling users to bid for faster service when compute demand exceeds capacity. The auction allocates priority efficiently without increasing latency, and includes fast algorithms for truthful bidding and an autobidding agent that adjusts bids within a user’s budget to maximize utility. Experiments show the auction improves system welfare while preserving the cache utilization and latency benefits of the SGLang inference framework.
arXiv:2609.00710v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An LLM application often sells or internally allocates several service products: a small or premium model, a short or long token cap, and possibly mu...
The paper demonstrates that in open‑weight LLM inference markets, selecting a model is insufficient; clients must also choose a provider, as the same model can differ markedly in quality, latency, availability, and price across providers. The authors propose a market‑aware routing approach, including a measured‑map policy and an online router called FACET, which certifies provider feasibility for each task and safely falls back to a reliable anchor. Experiments show that this strategy yields cost savings while maintaining quality and avoiding degraded endpoints.
arXiv:2608. 13571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a language model fails to answer a query on the first attempt, an agentic system retries, consuming additional tokens each time.
When2Think introduces a post‑training framework that dynamically allocates reasoning depth in Large Reasoning Models based on instance difficulty. The method uses Instance‑level Difficulty‑Aware Control (IDAC) to shape rewards with pre‑computed accuracy and token usage statistics, enabling stable, critic‑free optimization without learned reward models. Experiments on mathematical benchmarks show that When2Think improves accuracy‑efficiency trade‑offs, achieving higher Pass@3 scores while reducing token usage compared to baseline models.

arXiv:2608. 07968v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning language models increasingly use test-time compute to improve performance, but existing evaluations typically study this compute one question at a time.
