Lesioning a shared core in multilingual LLMs drops whole-brain fMRI encoding correlation by 60.32%, while language-specific lesions selectively weaken predictions only for the matched native language.
Orak is a foundational benchmark providing training data, interfaces, and evaluation tools for LLM agents across diverse video game genres.
Magpie synthesizes 300K high-quality alignment instructions from Llama-3-Instruct via auto-regressive prompting on partial templates, enabling fine-tuned models to match official instruct performance on AlpacaEval, ArenaHard, and WildBench.
MaskPro learns categorical distributions over groups of M weights to generate exact (N:M) sparsity via N-way sampling without replacement and stabilizes training with a moving average tracker of loss residuals.
Widthwise pruning of LVLM language backbones combined with supervised finetuning and hidden-state distillation recovers over 95% performance using just 5% of data across 3B-7B models.
Layer pruning preserves classification performance in LLMs but fundamentally limits recovery of generative reasoning capabilities even after extensive self-supervised finetuning.
NVIDIA releases the Nemotron 3 model family with hybrid Mamba-Transformer architecture, LatentMoE, NVFP4 training, MTP layers, and multi-environment RL post-training for reasoning and agentic tasks.
SPON adds a small set of trainable input-independent activation vectors as representational anchors, trained by distribution matching, to stabilize sparse activation in LLMs and recover performance lost to hidden-state distribution shifts.
Orthogonal growth recycles pre-trained MoE checkpoints via layer copying and noisy expert duplication, delivering 10.6% higher accuracy than training from scratch with equivalent extra compute.
Ministral 3 releases 3B/8B/14B parameter-efficient language models with base, instruction, and reasoning variants derived via iterative pruning and distillation, including image understanding capabilities.
