Compressed short-text generators can fail in two different places: the codec may discard information before generation starts, or the latent generator may produce weak codes. Without separating these failure modes, researchers can spend compute improving the wrong component.

The paper introduces RAE-CoD, a diffusion-based compression method that operates in a representation autoencoder space to preserve recognizable content even at extremely low bitrates. It addresses the problem of semantic collapse observed in existing codecs when the bitrate approaches zero, showing that reconstruction losses conflict with semantic objectives and that VAE diffusion models lose efficiency in preserving semantics. Experiments on MSCOCO-30K demonstrate that RAE-CoD outperforms competitors, reducing VFM feature MSE and Fréchet Distance ratios by at least 25.7% and 69.1% at 0.001–0.008 bpp while maintaining stable recognizability and quality.

Developers frequently write uninformative git commit messages such as "fix" or "update stuff", degrading the value of version-control history for code review, debugging, and onboarding. We present CommitLLM, a three-stage pipeline that generates concise, Conventional Commits-compliant messages from code diffs using a fine-tuned small language model.
LowRankArena is a standardized evaluation platform for SVD‑based low‑rank compression of large language models, unifying task versions, compression budgets, comparison regimes, and inference measurements. It provides a reproducible pipeline with over 3 TiB of released compressed checkpoints, enabling consistent comparisons across methods. An audit of five representative SVD techniques using LowRankArena shows that prior reported gains are highly conditional, with performance leaders and tiers shifting across backbones and keep ratios, and that nominal low‑rank savings often yield limited end‑to‑end speedups.

arXiv:2510. 04767v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While most autoregressive LLMs are constrained to one-by-one decoding, diffusion LLMs (dLLMs) have attracted growing interest for their potential to dramatically accelerate inference through parallel decoding.

The paper reports six submissions by the ESTS team to the WMT26 Model Compression Shared Task for English–Simplified Chinese and English–Egyptian Arabic. Each submission offers three compression operating points derived from GPT‑OSS‑20B, using routing‑informed expert pruning, cross‑lingual routing divergence for capacity allocation, and MXFP4 quantization of retained expert projection weights. The resulting models, ranging from 4.186 B to 7.770 B parameters, are fine‑tuned on GPT‑5.1 synthetic data and evaluated internally with xCOMET‑XL.
