CritICL is an inference-time framework that enhances reasoning in large language models by using failure patterns from weaker models as critique-based in-context examples. It offers two variants: CritICL-dynamic, which predicts input-specific failure modes, and CritICL-static, which applies a global failure mode profile. Experiments show that CritICL outperforms standard in-context learning and rivals test-time scaling methods while using fewer generations and lower token costs.

EasySteer is a unified framework for high‑performance, extensible large‑language‑model steering built on vLLM. It offers a modular architecture with pluggable interfaces for analysis‑based and learning‑based methods, fine‑grained parameter control, pre‑computed steering vectors for eight application domains, and an interactive demo system. Integrated with vLLM’s optimized inference engine, EasySteer delivers a 10.8–22.3× speedup over existing frameworks and demonstrates effectiveness in overthinking mitigation, hallucination reduction, and other key applications.

PetriBench is a compact, fully self‑contained, and scalable benchmark that evaluates large language model (LLM) reasoning over dynamic state spaces using Petri nets. It organizes reasoning into four task families with Easy, Medium, and Hard levels, each generated by increasing structural complexity and evaluated against exact ground truth. Experiments across proprietary and open‑weight models show that accuracy consistently drops with difficulty, revealing distinct task‑specific capability profiles, while test‑time compute and procedural generation affect performance differently across tasks.
