End-to-End Dynamic Sparsity for Resource-Adaptive LLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 27743v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) inference is typically deployed under a static resource assumption, where models execute a fixed computational graph regardless of the runtime environment.

Safety from Honesty in a Disinterested AI Predictor

As AI systems become more capable, training procedures that optimize for downstream outcomes risk introducing implicit agency: goal-directed behavior that designers never specified. We present a formal safety argument for the Scientist AI (SAI) Predictor, trained to approximate the Bayesian posterior conditioned on a dataset of "epistemically contextualized" natural-language statements.

The Joint Effect of Quantization and Sampling Temperature on LLM Safety Alignment: A Factorial Analysis

Modern LLM deployments routinely compress models and raise sampling temperature to reduce cost, latency, or repetition, yet safety evaluations usually treat these choices as fixed implementation details. This leaves a practical uncertainty: does a model that is safe at FP16 and greedy decoding remain safe after it is quantized and sampled stochastically, or do the two deployment knobs amplify one another?

Quantization in Federated Learning: Methods, Challenges and Future Directions

arXiv:2606. 26822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) has become a foundational paradigm for privacy-preserving distributed intelligence, yet its scalability remains fundamentally constrained by communication bottlenecks, device heterogeneity, and the challenges of training under statistically non-IID data.

Dynamic-dLLM: Dynamic Cache-Budget and Adaptive Parallel Decoding for Training-Free Acceleration of Diffusion LLM

arXiv:2606. 26120v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) offer a promising alternative to autoregressive models, excelling in text generation tasks due to their bidirectional attention mechanisms.

Generative Models on Analog Hardware with Dynamics

arXiv:2606. 27294v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Analog hardware platforms such as coupled oscillators and Analog Ising Machines naturally solve differential equations at a fraction of the energy cost of digital computation, making them attractive for low-power generative modeling, yet a fundamental mismatch exists: modern generative models assume flexible, software-defined dynamics, whereas analog hardware imposes fixed, physics-determined differential equations with limited approximation capacity.
