arXiv:2606. 03532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self on-policy distillation trains a student policy against a teacher derived from its own parameter history, yet the teacher's update schedule -- which governs the \emph{temporal coupling} between teacher and student -- has not been systematically studied as a stability variable.

arXiv:2606. 03458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling is a powerful approach to obtain better reasoning in large language models, but it becomes memory-bottlenecked during long-horizon decoding, as the KV-cache grows.

By Dan Jacobellis, Neeraja J. Yadwadkar
arXiv:2606. 03910v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Disaggregated LLM inference forces the KV cache to traverse the datacenter network before decoding begins, so transfer time enters directly into the Time to First Token (TTFT) budget.
