arXiv:2604. 23341v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) as assistants in electric grid operations promises to streamline compliance and decision-making but exposes new vulnerabilities to prompt-based adversarial attacks.

arXiv:2604. 27201v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hybrid-thinking language models expose explicit /think and /no_think modes, but current designs do not separate them cleanly.

arXiv:2604. 26494v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative AI tools are widely used by youth and have introduced new privacy and safety challenges.

arXiv:2605. 15532v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distillation enables compact Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to obtain strong reasoning capabilities, yet the prompts driving this process are typically chosen via simple heuristics or aggregated from off-the-shelf datasets.

arXiv:2605. 18414v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly operate as autonomous agents that select and invoke tools from large registries.

arXiv:2605. 21379v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In The Algebraic Mind (2001), Marcus held that any adequate cognitive architecture needs operations over variables, recursively structured representations, and an individual/kind distinction, and that multilayer perceptrons support none of them; he left a register-and-treelet implementation as a conjecture.

arXiv:2605. 26937v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Parametric knowledge in large language models (LLMs) is a cornerstone of their success, yet remains poorly understood.
By Luca Giordano, Simon Razniewski
arXiv:2605. 30716v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generating clinically useful pathology reports for pathology cases from whole-slide images (WSIs) is challenging due to gigapixel resolution, long visual-token sequences, and the complexity of case-level reasoning, where a single case may contain multiple WSIs with heterogeneous tissues and ambiguous findings.
By Zhiyuan Yang, Jiahao Cheng, Vincent Quoc-Huy Trinh, Mahdi S. Hosseini
arXiv:2606. 21678v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Language models can generate plausible rationales for their predictions, but these explanations may not faithfully represent the model's internal reasoning.

arXiv:2608. 00143v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated attack chain generation is critical for modern cybersecurity, yet manual construction fails to scale as adversary behaviors expand.
By Ramya Varunsegar
arXiv:2608. 01043v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We report a counter-intuitive interaction between image inputs and existing black-box defenses on Vision--Language Models (VLMs): pairing an encoded jailbreak prompt with an unrelated decoy image can sharply lower attack success rate (ASR).
