arXiv:2509. 05316v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A conventional LLM Unlearning setting consists of two subsets -"forget" and "retain", with the objectives of removing the undesired knowledge from the forget set while preserving the remaining knowledge from the retain.

Public institutions hold large volumes of sensitive documents and support tickets that cannot leave the premises, ruling out cloud-hosted language models entirely. We report on RAGAL, a retrieval-augmented assistant for the technical-support team of AFIR, the Romanian Agency for Financing Rural Investments, built and operated under three hard constraints: zero data egress (no external API calls, even for synthetic data), a read-only mandate (the assistant drafts, humans execute), and a single 8 GB consumer laptop as the only development and training machine.
Recommender systems increasingly face a choice among heterogeneous agents -- collaborative filters, sequential models, content-based retrievers, and LLM-based rerankers -- yet no single agent is uniformly best. We study this choice as task-aware agent ranking under cost constraints using RouteRec, a framework that compares request-level hard selection with item-level learned aggregation over four traditional recommender agents and one LLM reranker agent.
