StreamReason-Bench: Can Large Language Models Reason about Event-Time Stream-Processing Semantics?

arXiv:2608. 12348v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Streaming systems increasingly hand work to large language models (LLMs) -- writing pipelines, triaging alerts, reading logs -- and all of it assumes the model knows how event-time stream processing behaves.

Metronome: Bound the Cache, Keep the Beat for Real-Time Interaction Model Serving

arXiv:2607. 02640v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time interaction models -- Moshi, MiniCPM-o, Qwen-Omni -- turn serving into a periodic real-time task: on every frame a session ingests streaming audio and must respond by a recurring wall-clock deadline, while its KV cache grows monotonically and stays pinned for the whole conversation.

FinalityBench: An Effect-Level Benchmark for Agent Decisions Under Delayed and Conflicting Financial Finality

FinalityBench is an executable benchmark that tests how agents decide on shipping, re‑capturing, refunding, or waiting when a merchant’s payment processor, ledger, ERP, and bank feed receive delayed, duplicated, dropped, or reordered messages, causing contradictory beliefs about an order. The benchmark uses a hidden canonical event log and faulted delivery streams to generate system views, scoring each episode by the merchant’s terminal economic position relative to a privileged reference. It contains 321 tasks, including 45 twin pairs where all four views are identical yet the correct disposition differs, and evaluates nine programmatic policies, revealing that a ship‑on‑first‑sign policy performs best by accuracy but worst by paired loss, while a runtime‑gated irreversible‑action policy achieves 85.4% accuracy without losing money.
