Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
Five models, sustained generation, real wall-socket energy at $0. 31/kWh — and the surprise the RTX-3090 numbers predicted, only bigger.
In this work, we study the use of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for anomaly detection in an agent-driven game Quality Assurance (QA) pipeline focusing on geometry clipping. In this evaluation, a custom exploration agent navigates a game level to collect visual observations, while the automatic annotation pipeline provides frame-level clipping labels.
Retrieval-augmented generation improves knowledge-intensive question answering, but indiscriminate retrieval can introduce irrelevant evidence and unnecessary computation. We investigate whether verbalized confidence from black-box language models can serve as an actionable signal for retrieval routing.
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) and low-bit quantization are now standard tools for adapting language models under tight compute budgets, yet their interaction is most often studied on billion-parameter models where the design space is expensive to explore. We ask a complementary question: on a specific, fully reproducible 60M-parameter encoder-decoder model (T5-small) and a single-table text-to-SQL benchmark (WikiSQL), how much task accuracy does each efficiency knob actually cost?
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in recommender systems, but it is often unclear how much performance can be obtained from strong pre-trained backbones alone when they are placed inside a structured recommendation pipeline. In this paper, we present MARS, a modular multi-agent re-ranking framework for repeat-order food delivery recommendation.
Sensory advertising evokes human senses through visual cues, enabling audiences to mentally simulate experiences and increasing persuasive impact. Despite the recent increase in using AI in generating and understanding creative and persuasive content, how advertisements visually evoke sensations remains largely unexplored.
arXiv:2607. 22586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Key-Value (KV) caching is essential for efficient inference in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), yet its memory footprint grows linearly with context length and becomes a major bottleneck due to the large number of visual tokens.
arXiv:2607. 22609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for decision-making and reasoning tasks, yet their potential as controllers for physical systems remains largely unexplored.
arXiv:2607. 23189v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI-generated content (AIGC) has made significant progress, with 2D generative models becoming ready-to-use tools for the digital fashion industry.
arXiv:2602. 17394v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted networks are increasingly foreseen as a promising approach for emergency response, providing rapid, flexible, and resilient communications in environments where terrestrial infrastructure is degraded or unavailable.
arXiv:2607. 23478v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) provides strong cryptographic guarantees for private inference, but deploying transformer models under FHE remains prohibitively expensive.
arXiv:2607. 23532v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Swarms of LLM-assisted autonomous robots are increasingly proposed for cooperative intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) in contested environments.
arXiv:2603. 27476v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI-powered people search platforms are increasingly used in recruiting, sales prospecting, and professional networking, yet no widely accepted benchmark exists for evaluating their performance.
arXiv:2607. 24516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While data curation for Vision Language Models (VLMs) is increasingly active, public practice for constructing pretraining mixtures remains largely heuristic: practitioners stack datasets that pass quality filters, set cross-domain ratios by intuition, and lack a principled, attributable criterion for admitting new data, while frontier recipes remain undisclosed.
arXiv:2607. 24730v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer vision models have become highly effective for medical applications, yet their black-box nature continues to undermine clinician trust.

arXiv:2408. 03910v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in stand-alone code tasks like HumanEval and MBPP, but struggle with handling entire code repositories.
arXiv:2607. 24176v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Compressed short-text generators can fail in two different places: the codec may discard information before generation starts, or the latent generator may produce weak codes.
