arXiv:2608. 05164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Independently trained large language models may develop shared internal representations of semantic concepts despite architectural differences -- but whether this geometric similarity has functional consequences for cross-model behavioural control remains untested.

arXiv:2606. 01717v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction tuning aligns large language models, including multimodal ones, with diverse user intents, but scaling to heterogeneous mixtures is hindered by gradient interference and bandwidth-heavy synchronization.

arXiv:2606. 05613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) has established cross-lingual versatility as a defining feature of modern systems.

arXiv:2606. 24963v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuning Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) on specialized tasks often leads to catastrophic forgetting of their general capabilities.

arXiv:2606. 07559v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fine-tuning a language model often fails silently when its correct completion must outrank a near-synonym competitor.

arXiv:2608. 03605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated fine-tuning with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) enables efficient collaborative adaptation of Large Language Models (LLMs) without centralizing private data.
By Shenghui Li, Thiemo Voigt
arXiv:2608. 15360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has substantially reduced the hardware cost of adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) by decreasing the number of trainable parameters, recent studies have sought to further improve PEFT through parameter sharing.

arXiv:2606. 19549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) makes it cheap to train many domain- and task-specific language model adapters, but whether two adapters can be merged is usually discovered only after both have been fully trained and evaluated.
