arXiv:2608. 08061v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key question in moral judgement is not simply whether someone chooses the "right" answer, but how they decide what matters most when moral principles conflict.

arXiv:2608. 08113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has become the dominant paradigm for eliciting reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs), yet it creates substantial computational overhead by forcing models to externalize intermediate reasoning steps as discrete tokens.

arXiv:2608. 08127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The runtime of Constraint Programming (CP) solvers is highly sensitive to modeling choices, such as symmetry breaking, implied constraints, global constraints, constraint reformulation, and variable representation.

arXiv:2608. 08188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training quantization reduces the deployment cost of large language models, yet how severely a quantized model degrades is not determined by bit-width alone.

arXiv:2608. 08236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent LLM systems often fail not for lack of candidate answers, but because they have no persistent mechanism for deciding which incompatible claim should currently be trusted.

arXiv:2608. 08445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is widely regarded as a novel paradigm born from the limitations of large language models (LLMs)--a mechanism to ground their outputs in external knowledge.

arXiv:2608. 08467v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how servers expose data and tools to Large Language Models (LLMs).

arXiv:2608. 08485v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current LLM safety guardrails face a fundamental tension: fine-tuning distorts pre-trained representations while generative judges incur prohibitive inference costs.

arXiv:2608. 08736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fitness Action Quality Assessment (AQA) is important for intelligent sports training, yet the capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in this setting remain underexplored.

arXiv:2608. 08447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual reasoning models are commonly evaluated by whether they arrive at the correct answer, but not by whether they preserve the intended language while reasoning and responding.
By Muhammad Ali Shafique, Kelly Marchisio
arXiv:2608. 09124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal decisions in language-model systems often depend on both symbolic task state and elapsed wall-clock time, such as cache expiration, job completion, quota resets, deadlines, or stale sessions.

arXiv:2608. 09254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM analytics agents are evaluated on SQL syntax accuracy, but production failures look different: questions with two valid business definitions, questions the warehouse cannot answer, deprecated columns after a schema change, and queries that execute successfully while returning the wrong business number.
By Morris Lee
arXiv:2608. 09282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world shopping often requires constructing a basket of complementary items rather than retrieving a single product.
