arXiv:2608. 11583v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety alignment in large language models is often treated as a distributed property of the entire network, yet its practical brittleness suggests that refusal behavior may be concentrated in a smaller set of parameters.

arXiv:2512. 13374v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) open new perspectives for automation in optimization, yet little is known about whether their internal representations capture problem structure or algorithmic behavior.

arXiv:2608. 12197v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in circuit design workflows, yet their reliability on simulator-facing SPICE netlist recognition and manipulation remains poorly understood and is rarely separated from high-level design reasoning.

arXiv:2608. 11361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tokenizer vocabulary size is a foundational design choice in large language model (LLM) infrastructure, yet it is typically fixed at training time based on convention rather than deployment analysis.

arXiv:2603. 17450v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sequential Recommendation (SR) in multimodal settings typically relies on small frozen pretrained encoders, which limits semantic capacity and prevents Collaborative Filtering (CF) signals from being fully integrated into item representations.

arXiv:2505. 03818v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) can achieve strong performance on everyday coding tasks, but they can fail on complex tasks that require non-trivial reasoning about program semantics.

arXiv:2608. 11410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers considerable promise for optimizing ICU treatment decisions, yet standard evaluation metrics Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Fitted Q-Evaluation (FQE) assess only behavioral imitation and cannot detect Toxic Mimicry, a failure mode in which agents replicate harmful patterns such as treatment withdrawal during comfort-care transitions.

arXiv:2606. 16149v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rare disease diagnosis depends on expert reasoning that is scarce and difficult to transfer; off-the-shelf large language models (LLMs) rank the correct disease first in only 35.

arXiv:2608. 11207v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When two LLM agents with structurally opposed objectives interact across multiple turns, the absence of a shared goal function produces not competition but collapse: the visitor capitulates, the site agent stops varying its approach, and the conversation terminates without achieving either agent's stated objective.

arXiv:2608. 11735v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) often shift their outputs in response to implicit demographic cues even when users never state a demographic identity.

arXiv:2608. 11249v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of lossless text compression, motivated by the rapid growth in the collection and storage of digital textual data - including plain text, source code, and structured formats such as XML - and by recent advances in neural language model-based compression.
