The Model Organism Lottery: Model Organism Interpretability Strongly Depends on Training Methodology

arXiv:2607. 01033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model organisms (MOs) - language models trained to exhibit undesired or unnatural behaviours - are frequently used as testbeds for evaluating white-box interpretability techniques.

Message Passing Enables Efficient Reasoning

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.

FED-FSTQ: Fisher-Guided Token Quantization for Communication-Efficient Federated Fine-Tuning of LLMs on Edge Devices

arXiv:2604. 25421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated fine-tuning provides a practical route to adapt large language models (LLMs) on edge devices without centralizing private data, yet in mobile deployments the training wall-clock is often bottlenecked by straggler-limited uplink communication under heterogeneous bandwidth and intermittent participation.

TiRex-2: Generalizing TiRex to Multivariate Data and Streaming

arXiv:2607. 01204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce TiRex-2, a recurrent xLSTM-based time series foundation model that generalizes the univariate TiRex to multivariate forecasting with both past and future covariates.

Is One Layer Enough? Training A Single Transformer Layer Can Match Full-Parameter RL Training

arXiv:2607. 01232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a central component of post-training large language models (LLMs), yet little is understood about how RL adaptation is distributed across transformer layers.
