arXiv:2603. 26556v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Converting a pretrained Transformer into a more efficient hybrid model through distillation offers a promising approach to reducing inference costs.

arXiv:2607. 07050v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Top-K teacher logits make on-policy distillation tractable, but probability mass is not the same as decision support.

arXiv:2607. 27539v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Exact deletion from persistent language-model memory depends on whether a record's effect remains addressable after later computation.

arXiv:2607. 09438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Test-time scaling (TTS) reliably improves reasoning in large language models, but whether it transfers to small open vision-language models remains unclear.

arXiv:2607. 28639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We show that knowledge distillation in small instruction-tuned language models has asymmetric effects on bias.

arXiv:2605. 15532v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distillation enables compact Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to obtain strong reasoning capabilities, yet the prompts driving this process are typically chosen via simple heuristics or aggregated from off-the-shelf datasets.
