arXiv:2608. 08878v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across many tasks, but their Key-Value (KV) cache grows linearly with sequence length, creating a severe memory bottleneck for long-context inference.

arXiv:2608. 09703v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training a language model suite classically requires training each model separately and serving them independently.
Free-viewpoint 3D scene media is increasingly important for immersive applications, yet practical capture often suffers from severe view sparsity and motion blur. Although neural rendering has advanced sparse-view synthesis, existing blur-aware methods typically require substantial multi-view redundancy, accurate camera poses, or costly per-scene optimization.
We present TRACE-GS, an on-policy trajectory distillation framework that leverages privileged geometric conditioning at training time, thereby adapting a diffusion prior to sparse-view 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) restoration. Rather than pursuing increasingly sophisticated restoration architectures, we identify a more fundamental limitation shared by existing diffusion-based approaches: supervision at independently noised states does not cover those reached during inference.
Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alternative through dense token-level supervision, but in the visual domain it usually depends on privileged context constructed using external annotations and tools, or stronger models.
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards yields no group-relative signal when rollout groups are uniformly correct or uniformly wrong, which account for 63. 0-68.
Industrial anomaly detection (IAD) requires identifying fine-grained deviations from normal visual patterns. Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can improve recognition accuracy by comparing query images with references at inference time, but these benefits rely on additional retrieval and processing.
Diffusion models have enabled high-quality video generation in recent years, but the high cost of iterative sampling hinders their practical deployment. Few-step distillation alleviates this cost, yet exposes a quality--diversity trade-off between its two dominant paradigms: trajectory-level distillation (e.
Omnimodal language models (OLMs) enable unified audio-visual understanding, but processing long joint token sequences makes inference computationally prohibitive. While recent token compression methods attempt to alleviate this burden, compressing modalities in isolation often destroys the temporal cross-modal anchors necessary for coherent reasoning.
Efficient text-to-image generation requires both reinforcement-learning (RL)-based reward alignment and few-step distillation, yet these procedures are typically performed sequentially, increasing training cost and risking the loss of reward gains during compression. We instead take an RL-native perspective: diffusion RL already generates reward-scored finite-step trajectories, whose intermediate states provide a natural source of distillation supervision rather than a disposable byproduct of sampling.
