Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
Visual regression testing (VRT) is a standard quality assurance step in modern software release pipelines. On every change, it re-renders user interface (UI) screenshots, compares each one against an approved baseline image, and routes any detected difference to a human reviewer who decides whether it is an intended update or an unintended regression.
Sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models contain substantial structured redundancy among routed experts, but pruning them without downstream calibration data remains challenging. Existing expert-pruning methods typically rely on a single aggregated importance score, which can bias the retained set toward experts favored by dominant calibration patterns.
arXiv:2607. 01179v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling inference compute, by generating many parallel attempts per problem, is a costly but reliable lever for improving language model capabilities.
arXiv:2511. 05747v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning enhances the problem-solving ability of large language models (LLMs) but leads to substantial inference overhead, limiting deployment in resource-constrained settings.
arXiv:2509. 17314v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Software increasingly relies on the emergent capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), from natural language understanding to program analysis and generation.
arXiv:2607. 00990v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based software engineering agents are increasingly developed to resolve software issues by generating patches from issue reports and code repositories.
arXiv:2607. 00083v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models have changed from unreliable text generators to highly-capable large models with trillions of parameters.
arXiv:2607. 00048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in exam- and certification-style question answering tasks, where their ability to retrieve, interpret, and apply domain-specific knowledge can be systematically assessed.
arXiv:2511. 18050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion transformers have recently delivered strong text-to-image generation around 1K resolution, but we show that extending them to native 4K across diverse aspect ratios exposes a tightly coupled failure mode spanning positional encoding, VAE compression, and optimization.
arXiv:2607. 01224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Memory expertise is a learned skill: knowing what to encode, when to retrieve, and how to organize knowledge--a capacity known in cognitive science as metamemory.
arXiv:2607. 01170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative reasoning re-rankers achieve strong recommendation accuracy by emitting a chain-of-thought before re-ordering a candidate list, but they are slow at inference: an autoregressive (AR) decoder spends one sequential forward pass per reasoning token, and the reasoning trace far exceeds the ranking it produces.
arXiv:2607. 00334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents, whether LLM-driven software agents or robotic physical agents, face a common class of failure modes when operating without continuous human oversight: safety violations from unverified actions, behavioral instability from unconstrained loops, and continuity loss from unhandled error states.
arXiv:2607. 01002v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In long-context use, large language models frequently synthesize answers from the meaning of a relevant context span rather than literally copy-pasting them.
arXiv:2607. 00436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents are increasingly connected to scientific software, yet it remains unclear when tool access makes scientific computation more reliable rather than merely more complex.
arXiv:2604. 00767v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Wearable human activity recognition (HAR) has made steady progress, yet much of this progress remains grounded in fixed-window, closed-set classification benchmarks.
arXiv:2607. 01077v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While inference-time scaling has improved the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs), the need to generate long chains-of-thought (CoTs) is a computational bottleneck.
arXiv:2607. 00856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, large language models have achieved remarkable success and have seen growing adoption in financial applications.
arXiv:2602. 21397v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prompt learning has become a dominant paradigm for adapting vision-language models (VLMs) such as CLIP to downstream tasks without modifying pretrained weights.
arXiv:2607. 00491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Benchmarks for vision-language models (VLMs) mostly test observational spatial reasoning: models describe relations already visible in the input.
arXiv:2607. 00501v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present BaseRT, a native Metal inference runtime for large language models (LLMs) on Apple Silicon, and report the highest inference throughput on this hardware to date.
