Compass‑v3 is a 245B‑parameter Mixture‑of‑Experts language model tailored for Southeast Asian e‑commerce, featuring 71B active parameters per token and hardware‑efficient expert parallelism. It is trained on 12 trillion multilingual tokens and synthetic e‑commerce instructions, and incorporates Optimal‑Transport Direct Preference Optimization to improve instruction adherence. Benchmarks show it outperforms GPT‑4, DeepSeek‑V3.1, and Qwen3‑235B, and it is already deployed at scale on Shopee, handling over 70% of the platform’s LLM traffic.

arXiv:2607. 25956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-warehouse inventory allocation is typically formulated as a mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem, yet no single formulation consistently matches heterogeneous instance-level regimes induced by demand concentration, inventory imbalance, replenishment scale, service constraints, and forecast volatility.
arXiv:2608. 10939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual short-text classification supports operational systems such as content moderation, customer support routing, and intent recognition, yet aggregate evaluation often hides large differences between high-resource and low-resource languages.
arXiv:2505. 11166v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite advances in pretraining with extended context sizes, large language models (LLMs) still face challenges in effectively utilizing real-world long-context information, primarily due to insufficient long-context alignment caused by data quality issues, training inefficiencies, and the lack of well-designed optimization objectives.
CroCo introduces cross‑lingual contrastive preference tuning on self‑generations, extending prior English‑only methods to 14 high‑ and low‑resource languages. A reward model trained solely on English preferences, applied to a multilingual base, yields effective within‑language rankings and improves performance in both monolingual and multilingual settings without catastrophic forgetting. The approach requires on‑policy data; off‑policy responses and online preference optimization offer limited gains, yet on structured tasks CroCo matches or surpasses the base model in most languages, and on open‑ended generation it wins 28/30 judge evaluations across 15 languages.
arXiv:2410. 07809v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multilingual instruction tuning (MIT) is challenged by the curse of multilinguality, data scarcity, and high computational cost.
The paper investigates the energy costs of multilingual large language model (LLM) inference, revealing significant disparities across languages. Using the ML.Energy framework, the authors find that energy consumption per output token can differ by up to 8.3×, and total energy for a fixed request set can vary up to 179×, with English being the cheapest and Pashto the most expensive. The study attributes these differences to higher per-token costs for complex or rare scripts and longer outputs for low‑resource languages, and notes that high‑energy languages also tend to have lower task accuracy.
Merchant risk control at large payment platforms screens tens of millions of merchants daily, where false positives harm legitimate merchants and false negatives leave harmful activity undetected. The hardest cases require jointly understanding a merchant's textual profile and long behavioral sequence.
ZooWork-ShopRanker is a family of open e‑commerce rerankers (0.6B, 4B, and 8B) that align with human shopping preferences by using large language models as preference oracles to generate training pairs. The flagship 8B model serves as a teacher for the smaller 4B and 0.6B models, which are further refined on judged pairs. A new benchmark, ShopRank‑Bench, contains ~10,000 private‑traffic preference pairs and shows that all ZooWork models outperform the strongest open reranker baseline and their own un‑aligned versions.
