arXiv:2607. 23478v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) provides strong cryptographic guarantees for private inference, but deploying transformer models under FHE remains prohibitively expensive.

arXiv:2605. 17842v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autoregressive language models execute Transformer layers sequentially, creating a latency bottleneck that is not removed by conventional tensor or pipeline parallelism.

arXiv:2603. 03612v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The community is increasingly exploring linear RNNs (LRNNs) as language models, motivated by their expressive power and parallelizability.

arXiv:2607. 18342v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Structured pruning is essential for making neural network inference feasible under homomorphic encryption (HE), yet its impact on model reliability has remained unexplored.

arXiv:2606. 16359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables privacy-preserving machine learning but incurs extreme computational and memory overhead.

arXiv:2607. 29221v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address the challenge of securely and efficiently outsourcing AI computations from a trusted but computationally weak client to an untrusted but powerful server, in the setting where the client holds both the input and the model, and the server must learn neither.

arXiv:2603. 18046v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present NanoZK, a zero-knowledge proof system for verifiable LLM inference: clients and third-party auditors check that a provider executed the advertised model on a committed input without learning weights or activations.

arXiv:2608. 08888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive transformers compute along two axes: horizontally across generated tokens, and vertically through model depth.

arXiv:2606. 19697v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing popularity of \emph{reasoning} models -- language models that output a series of reasoning or thought tokens before producing an answer -- is justified, in part, by theoretical results showing that chain-of-thought (CoT) transformers can simulate Turing machines, and thus perform arbitrary computation.
By Yanhong Li, Anej Svete, Ashish Sabharwal, William Merrill
arXiv:2603. 17019v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A central question in the debate over large language models is whether transformers can learn rules they have never seen, or whether they can only interpolate: predict new cases from their similarity to training examples.
By Andy Gray
arXiv:2606. 01838v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic language model systems alternate between two structurally distinct step types: structured tool calls (short, deterministic, low perplexity) and open-ended planning/reasoning steps (long, complex, high perplexity).

arXiv:2506. 04985v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) require substantial compute, and thus energy, at inference time.
