Efficient Block-Layer Parallel Inference for Vision-Language-Action on Hybrid Architectures

arXiv:2608. 14586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are becoming a promising paradigm for autonomous driving, but their deployment on existing vehicle platforms remains difficult because they introduce both high inference latency and strong GPU-side resource pressure.

AI-Native Closed-Loop Security for 6G-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems: From Edge Detection to Network-Wide Mitigation

arXiv:2606. 08173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In sixth-generation (6G) networks, billions of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) - autonomous vehicles, smart grids, industrial robots, and remote-surgical equipment - will run over ultra-reliable low-latency slices, collapsing the gap between a remote breach and physical harm to milliseconds, a budget perimeter firewalls and centralised security operations centres cannot meet.

Pre-Compiled Pipeline Shards for Distributed LLM Inference on Intel AI PC Fleets

The paper presents a method for distributing large language model inference across multiple Intel AI PCs by splitting the model into pipeline shards, each pre‑compiled into an OpenVINO graph. Three key techniques—beam_idx Gather to enable GPU optimizations, speculative decoding on stateful models, and interleaved micro‑batching—allow a two‑node Llama 3.1 8B INT4 pipeline to serve two users at 1.79× the throughput of a single‑node model, while a four‑node deployment can run a 70B model that no single PC can hold. The authors provide code, benchmark logs, and reproduction scripts on GitHub.
