Efficient Reasoning on the Edge

arXiv:2603. 16867v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) with chain-of-thought reasoning achieve state-of-the-art performance across complex problem-solving tasks, but their verbose reasoning traces and large context requirements make them impractical for edge deployment.

Multi-Turn Reasoning LLMs for Task Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing

The paper introduces COMLLM, a generative framework that combines Group Relative Policy Optimization with a Look‑Ahead Collaborative Simulation to enable multi‑turn reasoning for task offloading in Mobile Edge Computing. By performing multi‑step Monte Carlo rollouts that jointly model server queue dynamics, COMLLM incorporates long‑term system evolution into its reward design, achieving near‑optimal latency and improved load‑balancing fairness. The framework demonstrates zero‑shot scalability to larger network topologies, outperforming supervised fine‑tuning, deep reinforcement learning, and heuristic baselines without requiring retraining.

InternBootcamp: Boosting LLM Reasoning with Verifiable Task Scaling

InternBootcamp is an open‑source framework that offers over 1,000 domain‑diverse task environments for large language model (LLM) reasoning research. It introduces Bootcamp‑Eval, an automatically generated benchmark for comprehensive performance assessment. Experiments show that training on InternBootcamp significantly improves reasoning performance, with a 32B model achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on Bootcamp‑Eval and other established benchmarks, demonstrating that scaling the number of training tasks yields consistent gains.

Llama-Mobile: Efficient 2.7-Bit Quantization of VLMs

The paper introduces Llama-Mobile, a framework that quantizes vision‑language models for efficient mobile deployment. It uses a quantization pipeline that generates training data from the model itself, eliminating the need for the original training setup, and employs a novel 2.7‑bit‑per‑parameter format optimized for Arm CPUs. Applying this method, the authors compress the Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct model to 3.7 GB with 8‑bit activations while maintaining strong performance on visual question answering tasks.
