arXiv:2608. 11283v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computation-ready metal-organic framework (MOF) databases are essential for high-throughput screening, yet many reported crystal structures remain chemically unreasonable or disordered, compromising simulation fidelity.
arXiv:2608. 11235v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) update many tokens in parallel, yet practical decoders often use a fixed denoising horizon.
arXiv:2608. 11238v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation improves the factuality of large language models by grounding responses in retrieved evidence, yet existing evaluation frameworks struggle to provide consistent, fine-grained diagnostics across the diverse spectrum of user queries, ranging from close-ended fact-seeking to open-ended explanatory requests.

arXiv:2608. 11220v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Nowadays, the creation of a process flow diagram (PFD) and its subsequent transformation into a piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is predominantly performed manually.
arXiv:2608. 11226v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement-learning post-training dominates modern language-model development, yet its power behavior on GPU hardware has not been characterized, and datacenters manage GPU power with workload-blind mechanisms, static caps and reactive throttling, that slow hardware indiscriminately.
arXiv:2608. 11224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Materials research advances through accumulated experience - scripts that work, protocols that are trusted, warnings attached to failed calculations or experiments, and judgement that links a new question to an old result.
arXiv:2608. 11241v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying LLM agents into industrial recommender operations exposes a three-way tension we frame as the autonomy-determinism-efficiency trilemma: general autonomy (interpreting operator intent, generating glue code zero-shot), industrial determinism (schema-conforming feature extraction, non-crashing A/B, zero compliance-path hallucination), and end-to-end efficiency.
arXiv:2608. 11247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in language models have enabled collaborative settings in which multiple models leverage one another's capabilities, iteratively improving, transforming, and extending each other's outputs.
arXiv:2608. 11341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Apollo did not reach the Moon merely because its engineers could solve difficult equations.
