arXiv:2607. 18026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Can large language models with substantially different parameter spaces be merged by direct weighted averaging, without training or semantic alignment?
arXiv:2505. 20161v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Effective generalization in language models depends critically on the diversity of their training data.
arXiv:2507. 10540v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has created a diverse landscape of models, each excelling at different tasks.
arXiv:2506. 14126v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern deep learning is increasingly characterized by the use of open-weight foundation models that can be fine-tuned on specialized datasets.
arXiv:2608. 00533v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models have achieved substantial progress in reasoning capabilities.
arXiv:2604. 10827v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Compute scaling for LLM reasoning trades off exploring solution approaches (\emph{breadth}) against refining promising ones (\emph{depth}), yet why a given trade-off works, and why it often fails to transfer across models, remains unclear.
arXiv:2606. 19549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) makes it cheap to train many domain- and task-specific language model adapters, but whether two adapters can be merged is usually discovered only after both have been fully trained and evaluated.
arXiv:2606. 01080v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models often improve on difficult tasks by spending inference-time compute on a reasoning trace before producing the final answer.
arXiv:2608. 05164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Independently trained large language models may develop shared internal representations of semantic concepts despite architectural differences -- but whether this geometric similarity has functional consequences for cross-model behavioural control remains untested.
arXiv:2608. 05541v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evolution Strategy (ES) is a promising alternative to gradient-based fine-tuning for resource-constrained Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning.
arXiv:2512. 20638v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The evaluation of large language models relies heavily on standardized benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 15360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has substantially reduced the hardware cost of adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) by decreasing the number of trainable parameters, recent studies have sought to further improve PEFT through parameter sharing.
arXiv:2606. 11262v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Access control in large language models (LLMs) requires modular mechanisms to enable domain-specific behavior without retraining or cross-domain interference.
