arXiv:2607. 28008v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Representation engineering reads and steers capability directions in large language models, yet methods are typically evaluated on paper-specific synthetic data.

arXiv:2608. 03457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models (dLLMs) offer an alternative to autoregressive (AR) language modeling, yet the scaling behavior of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) dLLMs remains poorly understood.

arXiv:2608. 13517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current large language model development relies on massive, often non-permissible datasets, creating a high barrier for researchers committed to open-source and ethically sourced data.

arXiv:2607. 15232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A tokenizer fixed at the start of pre-training allocates vocabulary in proportion to the pre-training corpus, reflecting the deployment priorities at that time.

arXiv:2608. 03803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual language models are deployed across a hundred or more languages, yet most benchmarks test whether a model can perform a task _in_ a language rather than whether it commands the language itself, conflating fluency with proficiency.

arXiv:2602. 04101v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present Interfaze, a native hybrid model that fuses task-specific deep neural networks (CNNs and DNNs) directly into a transformer decoder through a shared embedding space.
