arXiv:2607. 20442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We release Naver-News-KO, a Korean news summarization dataset of 27,400 (document, summary) pairs collected from Naver News over a ten-day window in July 2022 across two categories (Economy and IT/Science; 77/23 split), with train/validation/test partitions of 22,194 / 2,466 / 2,740 and a mean per-record document-to-summary character-compression ratio of 6.

arXiv:2607. 21356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning an aligned language model on a narrow stream of bad advice can make it broadly misaligned on questions unrelated to the training data, a phenomenon called emergent misalignment.

arXiv:2607. 20561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LoRA adapters provide an efficient way to specialize a pretrained model for many downstream tasks, but deploying one adapter per task requires adapter storage and task selection at inference time.

arXiv:2607. 21351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A LoRA adapter is a few megabytes that almost everyone treats as a skill rather than a record of the data behind it.

arXiv:2607. 20481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Local-cloud collaboration is a practical way to deploy large language models under resource constraints, but existing methods often rely on trained routers or collaboration-aware finetuning that tie routing behavior to a particular operating regime.
