A Frozen 12B Beats Frontier Models on Verified Work: 100% Accuracy, 0 Tokens, Bit-Exact, Forever

arXiv:2607. 23806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Improving a language model today means retraining it: enormous compute, a new opaque model each cycle, non-deterministic output.

Working Around the Compute Ceiling: Byte-Exact Memory in Galahad Makes LLM Reading a One-Time Cost LLM Reading a One-Time Cost

The paper introduces Galahad, a memory layer that stores a transformer language model’s key‑value state for blocks of text, allowing subsequent requests to reuse previously computed attention rather than recomputing it. On seven real‑world datasets, 98.7% of prompt tokens were already read, and with Galahad the model could attend to an entire 97,000‑token corpus, achieving 98–100% recall on a 100‑fact test while reducing inference time and energy consumption dramatically. The approach was validated across 30 models and all runtimes, demonstrating that stateful inference can replace stateless serving without loss of accuracy.

APEX-EM: Non-Parametric Online Learning for Autonomous Agents via Structured Procedural-Episodic Experience Replay

APEX-EM is a non‑parametric experience memory that stores full procedural‑episodic traces in a typed Procedural Knowledge Graph and retrieves them via semantic search, structural‑signature matching, and graph traversal. It uses a Plan‑Retrieve‑Generate‑Iterate‑Ingest workflow to produce, quality‑gate, and commit experiences, indexing both successes and failures so the agent learns what to reuse and what to avoid. Evaluations on five benchmarks with a shared GPT‑4o backbone show significant performance gains, such as +7.6 pp on BigCodeBench transfer and +1.4 pp on Lifelong Agent Bench, demonstrating that the memory adds to model capability rather than replacing it.

Cacheable by Design? Training Mixture-of-Experts Routers for Locality Against the Edge Memory-Bandwidth Wall: A Pre-Registered Negative Result with a Systems Measurement Study

The paper investigates whether training Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routers can improve memory‑bandwidth locality on consumer GPUs. Using a new zero‑surgery telemetry tool, the authors measure that a large Qwen3‑235B model is bottlenecked by disk‑based expert access, and that an LRU cache can serve a majority of requests. They pre‑register experiments training 137 M‑parameter MoE models with locality‑aware losses, finding that while cache misses can drop up to 60 % (99 % static‑pin hit rate), every configuration fails to meet a strict 1 % perplexity threshold, indicating a tight coupling between cache efficiency and model quality.

An Explicit World Model Based on Data-First Ontology: DaoQL Multimodal Storage Validation and Counterfactual Reasoning Evaluation

arXiv:2607. 17269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models encode world models implicitly in neural weights, which exposes four structural risks in high-precision domains such as medicine and finance: hallucination, frozen knowledge, poor explainability, and poor modifiability.
