ChronoState: Hidden Elapsed-Time Conditioning for Temporal-State Action Selection in Frozen-Backbone Language Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 09124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal decisions in language-model systems often depend on both symbolic task state and elapsed wall-clock time, such as cache expiration, job completion, quota resets, deadlines, or stale sessions.

Think at 5 Hz, Act at 20 Hz: Asynchronous Fast-Slow Vision-Language-Action Inference for Closed-Loop Driving

arXiv:2607. 15621v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models bring instruction following and scene reasoning to end-to-end driving, but their inference latency collides with the control rate a vehicle requires.

Why Are GUI Agents Correct but Late? Decode on the Decision-Time Critical Path, Tested with Pre-Compiled Policy Trees

arXiv:2607. 28399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents often fail on transient GUI events because they produce the correct action only after the relevant window has already closed.

ROM: Real-time Overthinking Mitigation via Streaming Detection and Intervention

arXiv:2603. 22016v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) often reach a correct solution before their long Chain-of-Thought trace ends, yet continue with redundant verification, repeated attempts, or unnecessary exploration that wastes computation and can even overturn the correct answer.

The Kinetics of Training: A Driven-Nucleation Rate Law for Emergence, Plasticity Loss, and Circuit Control in Language Models

arXiv:2607. 27281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A capability appears in a language model when the last parts of its circuit align in one stochastic attempt, and getting all but one right is worth nothing.
