arXiv:2608. 03020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parameter-efficient post-training reduces the number of trainable parameters, but still requires repeated end-to-end backpropagation through the frozen backbone.

arXiv:2608. 03076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent studies commonly place AI agents in predefined games, markets, or roles, making it difficult to distinguish endogenous economic organization from behavior inherited from the scenario.

arXiv:2608. 03166v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Role-Playing Language Agents (RPLAs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes applications such as healthcare assistance, customer support, and education, where maintaining consistent personas, ethical constraints, and behavioral coherence under adversarial pressure is critical.

arXiv:2608. 03214v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models have transformed artificial intelligence from isolated prediction services into components of long-running, distributed systems that reason, invoke tools, retrieve external state, delegate tasks, and act on behalf of users and organizations.

arXiv:2608. 03292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long Document Visual Question Answering (LongDocVQA) requires Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to locate, integrate, and reason over heterogeneous document elements distributed across multiple pages.

arXiv:2608. 03413v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve and mature, recent AI practices have moved beyond large language models (LLMs) and text or image generation tasks, increasingly integrating tools, agents, and harnesses to solve real business and industrial problems.

arXiv:2608. 03457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models (dLLMs) offer an alternative to autoregressive (AR) language modeling, yet the scaling behavior of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) dLLMs remains poorly understood.

arXiv:2608. 03464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in chart understanding, generation, and editing, but their ability to annotate existing charts remains underexplored.

arXiv:2608. 03506v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-consistency assumes the most frequent answer among sampled reasoning traces is the most reliable, but this can fail in causal reasoning: samples often repeat the same confounding error, and votes fragment across multiple valid answers, letting an invalid answer win despite a valid minority trace.

arXiv:2608. 03585v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-source software communities are a form of digital public infrastructure that not only produces code, but also generates public knowledge and interpersonal relationships through visible collaboration.
By Mengying Zhou, Yongjie Yin, Yang Chen
arXiv:2608. 03609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems driven by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world workflows where they act on persistent operational data.
By Alejandro J. Mercado, Alessio Lomuscio
arXiv:2608. 03653v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Network dismantling is fundamental to analyzing the robustness and vulnerability of complex systems, yet practical heuristics must balance effectiveness and computational efficiency, and are usually designed manually by researchers.
By Zhijing Hu, Changjun Fan, Yufan Deng, Zhiguang Cao
arXiv:2608. 03689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly capable of synthesizing executable frontend projects, yet existing benchmarks still treat web generation as a static evaluation problem.

arXiv:2608. 03722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Collective intelligence research treats disagreement as evidence of epistemic diversity: if agents express different views, the group should retain capacity to revise.
