RW-LoRA introduces a random‑walk approach to fine‑tune LoRA models in a decentralized setting, using a single model token that moves through the network and updates locally. This eliminates the need for global synchronization and reduces communication and computation costs compared to centralized or gossip‑based methods. The authors provide convergence guarantees for non‑convex objectives and demonstrate competitive performance on NLP tasks across various graph topologies.

FluidPD is a prefill‑decode disaggregated LLM serving system that introduces in‑place elasticity to meet SLOs. It uses FluidToken to offload a bounded portion of prefill work to decode workers during short‑term imbalance, and FluidRole to reassign running workers between prefill and decode roles for sustained imbalance, all guided by lightweight pressure indices. In production Azure trace workloads, FluidPD improves overall SLO attainment over static SGLang by up to 94.6 percentage points without adding workers.

Zephon is a data loader designed for foundation model training that ensures deterministic ordering of training data batches even when GPU resources change, checkpoints are resumed, or different processing backends are used. It handles online, stateful pipelines—where tokenization, packing, and mixing of samples create complex n‑to‑m transformations—by partitioning the data stream into topology‑independent lanes, serializing ordering decisions, and checkpointing only bounded in‑flight state. Experiments on text and vision‑language tasks show Zephon delivers competitive throughput while offering guarantees that existing loaders lack for such pipelines.
