Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
arXiv:2608. 08722v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Benchmarks for systems that are optimized against the evaluation signal measure something different from what they claim.
arXiv:2608. 08829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation steering edits the behaviour of a frozen language model by adding a learned vector to its residual stream, and current practice fixes the injection layers globally per task.
arXiv:2608. 08958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tree Search-based test-time scaling of LLMs is a powerful tool for automated scientific coding.
arXiv:2608. 08994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieving relevant evidence from noisy web data is challenging, particularly in sensitive domains containing incomplete reports, heterogeneous language, and irrelevant content.
arXiv:2608. 09080v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance in medical question answering and clinical reasoning tasks.
arXiv:2608. 09251v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model-based multi-agent systems have recently shown strong potential for complex, long-horizon tasks.
arXiv:2608. 09260v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have advanced Text-to-SQL by enabling natural language interfaces to databases without task-specific fine-tuning.
arXiv:2608. 09468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: State Space Models (SSMs), as a mainstream research direction of linear Transformers, aim to achieve higher efficiency than standard Transformers in long-context modeling.
arXiv:2608. 09526v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world cyberattacks often require sustained progress across multiple hosts and network segments, making multi-hop cyber ranges essential infrastructure for studying and improving LLM agents' ability to sustain complete attack chains.
arXiv:2608. 09745v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) converts feedback into dense token-level supervision on trajectories generated by the policy to be optimized, providing a useful complement to reinforcement learning with sparse outcome rewards.
arXiv:2608. 09930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated Text-to-Speech (TTS) evaluation methods (Mean Opinion Score (MOS) predictors and Audio Large Language Models (Audio-LLM) judges) are expected to reflect human perception, yet it is unclear how well they capture the distinct aspects of speech that listeners actually perceive.
arXiv:2601. 09974v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Personalizing Large Language Models typically relies on static retrieval or one-time adaptation, assuming user preferences remain invariant over time.
arXiv:2504. 18587v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning has emerged as a powerful approach for improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models, as demonstrated by systems such as OpenAI's O1~\cite{o1} and DeepSeek-R1~\cite{r1}.
arXiv:2602. 07697v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Predictive coding (PC) is a biologically plausible alternative to standard backpropagation (BP) that minimises an energy function with respect to network activities before updating weights.
arXiv:2507. 01900v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pruning is a highly effective approach for compressing large language models (LLMs), significantly reducing inference latency.
arXiv:2507. 11687v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models excel at code generation but struggle with code linting, particularly in generalizing to unseen or evolving best practices beyond those observed during training.
arXiv:2510. 19366v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) scales model capacity through sparse activation, and is becoming an important architecture for large language models (LLMs).
arXiv:2511. 09373v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLMs now tackle a wide range of software-related tasks, yet we show that their performance varies markedly both across and within these tasks.
arXiv:2511. 05550v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large audio language models (LALMs) leverage multimodal representations to generate open-ended answers to natural language queries about audio.
arXiv:2607. 02587v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Trust-benchmark scores reported on a chat-LLM release line are often carried across several checkpoints of the same line, as if the underlying model had not shifted between releases.
