arXiv:2607. 04593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across different tasks, but their computational cost is dominated by the large number of visual tokens fed to the language model.

arXiv:2606. 08347v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern language models represent text using discrete token-level embeddings, which forces recurring multi-token patterns to be learned implicitly across Transformer layers.

A longstanding goal of research on interpretable deep learning is to replace opaque neural computations with human-meaningful symbolic descriptions. In this paper, we propose an approach for approximating the behavior of components of deep networks with executable programs.
arXiv:2606. 03825v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers have become the dominant architecture for large language models, largely due to the scalability and flexibility of attention, feed-forward layers, residual connections, and normalization.

arXiv:2608. 15448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly rely on sampling as a driver of their own improvement, making the fidelity of their learned distributions more critical than ever.

arXiv:2607. 05583v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Contemporary language models are dominated by the transformer architecture, which leverages self-attention mechanisms to enable more efficient, parallelized training across a wide set of documents and corpora.

arXiv:2606. 27941v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) provide useful decompositions of Transformer residual streams, but their learned features are usually named post hoc rather than directly connected to the Transformer's token vocabulary.

arXiv:2606. 09456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-Policy Distillation (OPD) has become a core technique in the post-training of Large Language Models (LLMs) for transferring knowledge from domain experts to student models.

arXiv:2602. 11852v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While state-of-the-art language models (LMs) surpass most humans in certain domains, their reasoning remains largely opaque, reducing trust and increasing the risk of deception and hallucination.
