arXiv:2606. 10706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Resource constraints increasingly determine what can be trained, fine-tuned, and deployed in large language models (LLMs), yet efficiency is often studied through isolated techniques rather than as an interacting system of limits.

arXiv:2607. 03876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the rise of small quantized GGUF-based language models and their increasing use for on-device inference tasks, we have seen the growing need for an approach capable of reliably delivering these models at scale even under severe memory bandwidth constraints such as those imposed by pure CPU implementations.

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.

DART-FL is a multitask federated learning framework designed for edge devices that must balance online inference and model training under limited resources. It dynamically allocates resources between inference and training based on current inference backlog and service capacity, then distributes remaining training capacity among tasks using a queue‑aware scheduler that adjusts loss weights. Experiments on image classification datasets with synthetic and real workloads show that DART‑FL adapts to bursty inference demand, improving accuracy for high‑demand tasks while preserving overall multitask performance.

The paper introduces COMLLM, a generative framework that combines Group Relative Policy Optimization with a Look‑Ahead Collaborative Simulation to enable multi‑turn reasoning for task offloading in Mobile Edge Computing. By performing multi‑step Monte Carlo rollouts that jointly model server queue dynamics, COMLLM incorporates long‑term system evolution into its reward design, achieving near‑optimal latency and improved load‑balancing fairness. The framework demonstrates zero‑shot scalability to larger network topologies, outperforming supervised fine‑tuning, deep reinforcement learning, and heuristic baselines without requiring retraining.
