arXiv:2605. 29128v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The wide adoption of LLMs has led to their use in great variety of applications and scenarios, such as chatbot assistants and data annotation, creating the need for the models to satisfy certain budget and hardware constraints.
arXiv:2606. 06840v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern reasoning models offer surprisingly strong zero-shot performance on challenging multi-label tasks that require selecting a small set of relevant options from hundreds of thousands to millions of candidate labels.
Inference efficiency is typically pursued by shrinking the model: distillation, pruning, quantization, and sparse routing each lower per-token cost while treating token count as fixed. But output length has been inflating, and it is precisely the component the standard toolkit leaves untouched.
arXiv:2605. 18643v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) scales language models efficiently through sparse expert activation, and its dynamic variant further reduces computation by adjusting the activated experts in an input-dependent manner.
arXiv:2606. 30414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distillation and Reinforcement Learning (RL) fine-tuning are the primary pillars of diffusion post-training.
arXiv:2608. 03796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Small language models are often the only option for deployment under tight latency, cost, and on-premises constraints, but they are rarely trained from scratch: a compressed model is usually recovered through knowledge distillation (KD).
