Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
Communication-efficient pre-training of LLMs is increasingly important as training draws on compute distributed across clusters, data centers, and lower-bandwidth links. Many practical methods reduce communication frequency but still rely on synchronous All-Reduce operations that maintain identical model states and tie progress to global collectives.
Sequential recommendation aims to predict users' next interaction with items by analyzing their historical behavior. However, the limited quality of item representations remains a critical bottleneck.
Large language model unlearning aims to suppress designated undesirable knowledge while preserving benign capabilities. Many unlearning objectives focus on suppressing undesired answers, while recent target-guided variants specify replacement behavior but still leave update locality largely unconstrained.
Gemini 3. 5 Live Translate brings near real-time, natural speech translation to Google AI Studio, Google Translate and Google Meet.
As artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) models become integral to network operations, their lack of transparency poses a significant barrier to operator trust. Existing explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques often fail to bridge this gap for non-specialists, producing technical outputs that are difficult to translate into actionable insights.
Stop re-computing the same context. Learn how to build a C++ runtime with copy-on-fork KV snapshots to eliminate redundant LLM prefills in multi-agent pipelines.
Autoregressive (AR) language modeling is the dominant paradigm for text generation, yet its sequential token-by-token decoding makes inference memory-bound and inefficient. Existing acceleration approaches, such as speculative decoding and diffusion language models, can yield speedups under certain conditions but do not directly address high-load batch serving--the scenario most critical for industrial-scale deployment.
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel at utilizing digital APIs and increasingly serve as the "brain" of embodied AI, instructing robots to interact with the physical world. In such embodied settings, a central capability is the use of physical tools, which underpins MLLMs' ability to assist humans in real-world tasks.
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) for inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based human activity recognition (HAR) faces a central challenge: bridging the gap between sensor embeddings and semantic class representations. We systematically evaluate seven configurations combining three inference methods with two training pipelines on the PAMAP2 dataset, using 14 seen and 4 unseen activity classes with subjects 108 and 109 held out for testing.
How engineers at Nextdoor use Codex with GPT-5. 5 to investigate hard-to-reproduce issues, build across platforms, and focus on product outcomes.
We study dense-to-sparse continual training as a way to construct channel-sparse large language models from dense checkpoints. Starting from a Qwen2.
The scalability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to long contexts is fundamentally constrained by the quadratic complexity of standard attention, motivating the adoption of linear attention mechanisms with sub-quadratic cost. To improve representation capacity under long contexts, recent approaches organize memory in a multi-state manner.
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is a powerful technique for creating high-fidelity 3D assets. However, the widespread sharing and iterative modification of 3DGS models across digital platforms create pressing challenges for intellectual property protection and forensic traceability.
Traditional heuristic solvers for the 2D irregular nesting problem share a fundamental limitation: they are blind to polygon geometry, relying on guided brute-force to navigate the continuous placement space with minimal geometrical guidance. In this paper, we argue that Reinforcement Learning is uniquely positioned to overcome this bottleneck.
External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence. However, existing memory paradigms represent each memory item in raw text and image forms, so retrieval-based systems must pass the retrieved text or images to the generation LLMs/VLMs, resulting in high token consumption and storage pressure, making it unaffordable for resource-constrained applications.
Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) re-encode the entire prefix at every denoising step, causing recomputation that scales quadratically with context length and becomes prohibitive for long-context scenarios. We propose Prefilling-dLLM, a training-free prefill-decode disaggregation framework for dLLMs that partitions the prefix into N chunks, caches their KV representations once, and selects the top-K most relevant chunks with intra-chunk token sparsity for decoding, showing that sparse prefilling can outperform dense attention while reducing per-step complexity from quadratic in the full sequence length to quadratic only in the decode length.
Coastline detection in remote sensing imagery is commonly formulated as a pixel-wise segmentation problem, where the final coastline is extracted from a predicted mask through post-processing. This formulation relegates coastline geometry, the primary representation used in coastal change analysis, to a secondary artifact rather than the learning objective.
Semi-structured 2:4 sparsity is widely supported by modern accelerators, providing up to a 2x theoretical speedup. However, its strict 50% sparsity constraint often causes non-negligible accuracy degradation under post-training pruning.
We argue that forgetting is not confined to continual learning but is a general optimization phenomenon: during standard training, dominant mini-batch gradients suppress rare but useful update directions, causing short-term forgetting at every step. When such knowledge is never revisited, these losses compound into long-term forgetting-the classical failure mode of continual learning.
Large language models are increasingly used to power personal agents for everyday applications, but evaluating these agents remains a challenge. Existing benchmarks still rely on sandboxed artifacts, static task design, and coarse scoring, which hinder scalability and limit progress toward reliable personal-agent evaluation.
