Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
arXiv:2608. 13463v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern image classification models excel when trained on single task-specific datasets but often struggle to generalize across domains and difficulty levels.
arXiv:2508. 14390v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) often express verbal confidence that is poorly aligned with actual correctness, limiting their reliability in safety-critical applications.
arXiv:2604. 17299v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Aligning large language models with human preferences must balance two competing goals: responding helpfully to legitimate requests and reliably refusing harmful ones.
arXiv:2412. 17228v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Background: Clinical trials are essential to advancing cancer treatments, but fewer than 10% of adults with cancer enroll in therapeutic trials.
arXiv:2608. 13484v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When asked about entities outside their knowledge boundary, LLMs routinely fabricate plausible-sounding details rather than backing off to safer, more general claims.
arXiv:2608. 13173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills are crucial external instructions that enable language agents to execute long procedural tasks such as coding or document processing.
arXiv:2608. 12385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language models serve more requests, cumulative inference cost is becoming increasingly important relative to one-time training cost.
arXiv:2608. 13263v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model serving faces a critical memory bottleneck: the KV cache grows with sequence length and batch size.
arXiv:2608. 12321v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a salient surface cue competes with an implicit feasibility constraint, LLMs often fail -- but aggregate accuracy conflates genuine constraint inference with conservative defaulting.
arXiv:2608. 12336v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A story premise is the creative spark from which a full narrative can grow.
arXiv:2608. 12365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For fifty years, data systems have answered two questions.
arXiv:2608. 12387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Positional biases such as recency and primacy effects have been documented in large language models (LLMs), yet the underlying mechanism by which these models make their evaluations remains poorly understood.
arXiv:2608. 13050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a security researcher publishes a report on a cyberattack, detection engineers are supposed to turn it into working detection rules.
arXiv:2608. 13267v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing vision-language model (VLM) benchmarks emphasize perception and reasoning accuracy (how well VLMs describe and reason about what they see in an image), with limited attention to behavioral reliability under uncertainty (how they behave when visual evidence is missing or misleading).
arXiv:2608. 13545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern language models are trained on heterogeneous web-scale text corpora.
arXiv:2608. 13459v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We address the use of large language models (LLMs) to help discover Isabelle proofs.
arXiv:2608. 13433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based language models are known to sometimes generalize to sequences longer than seen during training, but we lack a precise characterization of which tasks admit length generalization.
arXiv:2608. 12368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agreement with human judgments is a common proxy for evaluating the alignment of large language models (LLMs).
arXiv:2608. 12395v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe Research Assistant, an internal LLM-based system developed at AstraZeneca to help scientists and clinicians explore biomedical questions across a broad range of data sources.
arXiv:2608. 12675v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is widely used to improve the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in answering user queries.
