Overcoming the Weakest-Link Effect in LLM-Driven Program Optimization via Heterogeneous Edit Recombination

arXiv:2607. 28947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to solve complex problems by searching over program space, offering a general paradigm for scientific problems that can be naturally represented and solved as programs.

Visual Distribution Anchoring for Efficient Prompt Tuning

arXiv:2607. 28967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt tuning adapts vision--language models with few trainable parameters, but existing approaches trade off efficiency and adaptation: static textual prompts can overfit source classes, image-conditioned prompts add per-instance computation, and multimodal tuning modifies the visual branch.

Matterhorn: Masked Time-to-First-Spike Encoding by Reassigning the Silent State for Sparse and Energy-Efficient Spiking Transformers

arXiv:2601. 22876v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) promise energy-efficient inference for large language models (LLMs), yet most reported savings rely on compute-operation counts that overlook data movement.

Reasoning in Real World Clinical Care: Why Large Language Models Are Not Yet Safe for Autonomous Clinical Decision Support

arXiv:2607. 28677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM now pass medical licensing examinations and, in curated cases, can rival physicians at diagnostic reasoning.

Library Reachability in LSR-Synth: How Anti-Memorization Design Changes the Measurement of Symbolic Discovery

arXiv:2607. 28684v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing benchmarks for scientific equation discovery are largely composed of well-known equations available in the public domain, making it difficult to determine whether a model is discovering laws from data or merely recalling answers from its training corpus.

OpenClaw and Ollama in Agentic AI: Toward Fully Autonomous and Scalable AI Agent Systems

arXiv:2607. 28629v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid transition from reactive large language models (LLMs) to persistent, action-capable systems has exposed critical gaps in the architectural understanding of Agentic AI, particularly in separating inference, orchestration, and execution layers for autonomous AI agents.
