Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
arXiv:2608. 14144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual on-policy distillation relies heavily on an informative teacher-student asymmetry, through either a larger, stronger teacher or privileged supervision, such as reference answers or ground-truth regions of interest.
arXiv:2608. 13570v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent reasoning has emerged as a powerful alternative to text-based Chain-of-Thought (CoT), offering significant gains in computational efficiency by compressing verbose reasoning into compact embeddings.
arXiv:2608. 14277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) offers a promising way to transfer reasoning capabilities from stronger teacher models, but applying it to long-context reasoning teachers and short-context students introduces practical challenges, including tokenizer mismatch, teacher-student distribution mismatch, response length explosion, and training instability.
arXiv:2608. 14396v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), as a landmark algorithm, has attracted tremendous research attention and extensive practical applications over the past two decades.
arXiv:2608. 14496v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-Tabular Data Generation (CTDG) seeks to learn a generative model from multiple heterogeneous tables and produce new synthetic tabular datasets.
arXiv:2605. 28642v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant potential for speech-to-text translation (S2TT).
arXiv:2608. 14498v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) enable embodied agents to reason and act from visual observations and language instructions.
arXiv:2608. 13695v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model providers routinely cite multilingual safety benchmarks spanning a dozen or more languages as evidence that their models are safe for non-English-speaking users.
arXiv:2608. 14036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Skills have emerged as a practical and effective approach for enhancing LLM agents at inference time through structured packages of knowledge.
arXiv:2608. 13760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Which reasoning behaviors are associated with correct answers in reasoning models, and does reasoning-oriented training amplify those behaviors?
arXiv:2608. 13966v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language model inference shifts toward lower precision, post-training quantization (PTQ) becomes increasingly brittle, making quantization-aware training (QAT) essential for preserving model quality.
arXiv:2605. 25194v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adversarial images pose a severe security threat to multimodal large language models through prompt injection.
arXiv:2608. 13565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures scale large language models (LLMs) while preserving computational efficiency through sparse activation.
arXiv:2608. 13573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) serving has become a critical cloud workload, and realistic traces are essential for motivating and benchmarking serving systems.
arXiv:2608. 13591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-confidence errors in large language models are often treated as evidence of fragile internal inference.
arXiv:2608. 13598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent evaluation relies almost entirely on outcome metrics such as success rate, which capture whether an agent succeeds but not how consistently it behaves.
arXiv:2608. 13605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural language provides robots with a flexible task interface, but target ambiguity in embodied environments arises not only from user intent; it can also result from missing taskrelevant physical evidence in the current observation.
arXiv:2608. 13608v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic "Continual Learning Harnesses", systems that pair an LLM with retrieval or memory to improve from feedback without retraining, have shown growing value in cybersecurity.
arXiv:2608. 13617v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Verifying whether clinical care follows evidence-based protocols is a natural neuro-symbolic problem, yet the safety-critical setting defeats either paradigm alone.
arXiv:2608. 13667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents in the ReAct paradigm alternate between reasoning, acting, and observing, but deliberate reasoning is confined to the Thought phase: while the agent serializes an action and waits for the environment, its reasoning is frozen.
