arXiv:2606. 27593v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce a categorical framework called ODYSSEY for constructing verifiable, local truth-preserving foundation models as compositions of foundries: building-block architectural components that specify a cover of local contexts, local representation families, restriction maps, gluing rules, obstruction policies, update obligations, and human-facing views.

Organizations that cannot send data to a cloud API increasingly ask: how good is Text-to-SQL if the model must run on-premises on open weights, and which popular accuracy "recipes" are worth their compute? We answer with an honest, fully reproducible benchmark on the BIRD development split (n=1534, Execution Accuracy), evaluating three open model families across two generations -- Qwen2.

Deploying large language models (LLMs) on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) edge devices demands extreme compression, yet existing structured pruning methods collapse at high compression ratios due to one-shot importance estimation, and their cross-architecture behavior remains unpredictable. This article presents a cascaded multi-granularity pruning framework that removes layers, attention heads, and feed-forward channels in coarse-to-fine order, with lightweight low-rank recovery between stages to re-estimate component importance.
Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a small, high-quality set of long reasoning traces is an effective approach for eliciting strong reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs). However, existing methods for curating high-quality SFT data rely heavily on strong reasoning models to filter examples based on diversity and difficulty, making the curation process costly while often yielding suboptimal data quality.
