arXiv:2606. 21641v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as hyperparameter-optimization (HPO) advisors that "warm-start" search from prior knowledge, proposing strong configurations in very few evaluations.

arXiv:2608. 17310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been promising in single-turn LLM fine-tuning.

arXiv:2606. 17526v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient optimization is essential for training large language models.

arXiv:2607. 18006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance, but often at prohibitive training cost - a challenge that is especially acute for compact models ($\leq 4 \, \mathrm{B}$ parameters) trained under limited budgets.

arXiv:2608. 08156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In evolutionary algorithms powered by language models, the LLM acts as a single operator that simultaneously updates structural components (like control flow) and continuous parameters.

arXiv:2505. 11602v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Selective State-Space Models (SSMs) such as Mamba have become central to long-sequence modeling.

arXiv:2606. 25086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many modern Language Model (LM) pipelines return an averaged model, such as an exponential moving average of the training iterates, rather than the final iterate itself.

arXiv:2608. 03887v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning a large language model on new data degrades what it previously learned.

arXiv:2608. 03447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by verifying a draft block with a target model in parallel.

arXiv:2606. 17087v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: ZIVARI-TLBO is a grouped Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) method that augments an existing population-state controller with a fixed inter-group evaluated-elite relay.

arXiv:2607. 26247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) fine-tunes large pretrained models at a fraction of the cost of full fine-tuning, but its performance depends strongly on how the adapters are initialized.
By Dianze Liu, Farshid Ghezelbash
arXiv:2608. 08466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern LLM agents are often improved by modifying prompts, tools, or workflows manually, while the executable scaffold surrounding the model---the \emph{harness}---is typically treated as a fixed artifact after deployment.
