The paper introduces query‑conditioned hypernetworks that predict distributions over LoRA weight updates for large language models. By learning a distribution rather than a single point estimate, the method allows sampling multiple adapted models for the same query, improving performance over deterministic hypernetworks and token‑sampling baselines. The study also shows that these learned updates can transfer across different queries, indicating reusable adaptation patterns.

Hypernetworks have recently shown success in dynamically adapting the parameters of Large Language Models (LLMs) at runtime based on signals such as task descriptions or additional demostrations. Here...
The paper introduces selective adaptation for vision‑language models, questioning whether test‑time adaptation (TTA) should always be applied. By analyzing per‑sample predictions before and after adaptation, the authors find that many adaptations are negligible or even harmful, flipping correct predictions. They propose Cross‑Augmentation Similarity (CAS), which skips adaptation when predictions across augmented views are highly similar, achieving comparable or better accuracy while reducing adaptation by up to 85%.
