GPUAlert: A Zero-Instrumentation Process-Boundary Monitor for Diagnosing GPU Training-Job Failures

arXiv:2607. 01409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GPU training jobs fail often, roughly two in five on large production clusters, yet the operator typically learns of a failure only by reconnecting hours later.

From Detection to Recovery: Operational Analysis on LLM Pre-training with 504 GPUs

arXiv:2605. 09370v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large-scale AI training is now fundamentally a distributed systems problem, and hardware failures have become routine operating conditions rather than rare exceptions.

Real-Time Detection and Repair of LLM Agent Failures

arXiv:2608. 02464v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM agents fail mid-episode -- they loop, cascade tool errors, drift off goal, fabricate results, or silently absorb corrupted content -- and the standard remedy, judging every step with a second LLM, costs more than the agent itself.

Do You Really Need a GPU to Guard Your LLM? CPU-Class Classifiers and Multi-Stage Pipelines for Safety Enforcement at Scale

arXiv:2512. 19011v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safety classifiers that screen LLM inputs for jailbreak attempts have become standard deployment components, yet almost all production systems rely on GPU-based models: fine-tuned transformers and LLM-as-a-judge pipelines.

Measuring the Checker: Mutation Analysis for GPU-Kernel Benchmark Oracles

The paper introduces mutation analysis as a metric for evaluating GPU‑kernel benchmark oracles, injecting over ten thousand faults into verified CUDA implementations of 188 KernelBench problems. It shows that the current official checkers miss 16.9% of faults, with precision faults being especially problematic, and demonstrates that optimized test suites can achieve 98% detection with only two inputs per problem. The study also reveals flaws in existing patches and a fuzzing recipe that incorrectly rejects correct kernels 107 times.

FAME: Failure-Aware Mixture-of-Experts for Message-Level Log Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2605. 22779v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Production systems generate millions of log lines daily, yet most anomaly detectors operate at the session or window-level, flagging groups of lines rather than identifying the specific message responsible.

CURA: Certified Runtime Alarms for Computer-Use Agents

arXiv:2608.27808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-report is the cheapest oversight channel a deployer has, and on capable computer-use agents (CUAs) it fails precisely where oversight matters. O...
