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.

arXiv:2607. 18026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Can large language models with substantially different parameter spaces be merged by direct weighted averaging, without training or semantic alignment?

arXiv:2608. 09201v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dense expert merging combines domain-specialized language models into one single checkpoint, typically by admitting task-vector support in weight space.

arXiv:2606. 28373v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging integrates the capabilities of multiple expert models to create strong models for multiple tasks without additional training, thereby reducing computational resource requirements.

arXiv:2606. 22589v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ever since the advent of foundation models and the pre-training-finetuning paradigm, there have been numerous efforts to merge multiple task-specific experts into a single multi-task model.
