A new arXiv paper (2609.17804v1) reports that large language models solve grade-school math word problems through a four-stage sequential pipeline — Schema Abstraction, Operation Planning, Operand Binding, and Computatio…
Researchers introduced GVD (Governed Versioning and Deduplication), a framework that unifies cross-document version linking with rule-level conflict resolution under an auditable update policy, according to an arXiv pape…
SAGE, a governed multi-stage LLM pipeline built around a shared versioned rule store, cut enterprise guideline-to-artifact turnaround from two to three days of manual work to 20-100 minutes across 120 documents, accordin…
A new arXiv paper (2609.17865v1) introduces SAFE, a controlled benchmark testing whether frontier models acquire safety-relevant evidence before making deployment decisions. Across GPT-5.5, o3, Claude Opus 4.8, and Claud…
A new arXiv paper (2609.17847v1) introduces "individuated utility" functions that condition reward models on both the individual and their decision context, arguing that annotator disagreement in subjective tasks reflect…
A study measuring 54 configurations of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct on vLLM 0.12 across L4, A100, and H100 GPUs found that 18 of 36 configurations reach the cost, quality, and latency Pareto frontier, with combined optimization m…
A training-free routing policy called the Tri-Metric Router achieved 0% out-of-memory failures and 88.5 ± 4.4% oracle alignment on out-of-distribution holdouts for retrieval-augmented generation on commodity GPUs, accord…
Researchers proposed OBC-Prune, an outcome-based calibration method for pruning large reasoning models that weights reasoning tokens by their causal contribution to correct answers rather than by uniform statistical sali…
A study posted to arXiv (2609.17532v1) uses large language model-derived features from free-text respiratory therapy notes plus a logistic regression pipeline to improve prediction of extubation failure (EF) in invasivel…
Researchers released DantinoX, an open-source JAX/Flax library that runs three language-generation paradigms — autoregressive decoding, discrete masked diffusion, and continuous flow-matching — on a single modular Transf…
A systematic benchmark of open-source instruction-tuned LLMs for key-value pair extraction found that models including Gemma, Mistral, Qwen2.5, LLaMA 3, and DeepSeek approach supervised layout-aware systems on clean text…
A position paper posted to arXiv (2609.17546v1) argues that hallucinations in legal LLMs should be evaluated as a failure of legal warrant rather than as factual inaccuracy or citation failure. The authors define claim-a…
A bilingual, multi-turn arXiv study of eight time-specific API configurations found that hard disengagement under sustained verbal abuse ranged from 0/48 endpoints in four configurations to 24/48 (50.0%) for Gemini 3.1 P…
A new arXiv paper (2609.17571v1) reports that grokking in Transformers is a spectral recoding of an existing distributed circuit rather than a switch between modules, based on behavior-aligned exact activation games the …
Researchers introduced Fathom, a per-query read-depth key scan for sparse decoding over offloaded KV caches, which at one million tokens on Qwen3-8B runs a decode step 1.67x faster in GPU time than the 136-bit scans of D…
The University of Bozen/Bolzano has released lecture notes from its 2025/2026 PhD course on Physics Informed Neural Networks, published as arXiv:2609.17638v1. The notes cover Physics Informed Deep Neural Networks (PINN) …
Researchers introduced Diffusion Skill Discovery (DSD), a skill discovery method that uses a diffusion model to approximate the entropy gradient of a policy-induced state distribution through score matching, according to…
A paper posted to arXiv (2609.17654v1) proposes a regularized least squares approach for training quadratic neural networks that yields a lower bound on the training optimization problem's solution when the regularizatio…
A new arXiv paper (2609.17686v1) argues that three separate LLM reliability findings converge on calibrated abstention as the missing capability, citing Yin et al. (2026) on reasoning RL collapsing tool-reliability repre…
A new arXiv paper (2609.17691v1) introduces "draft trees," a speculative sampling method that accelerates diffusion model generation by up to 8.3% over the reflection maximal coupling baseline in practical settings. The …
