abstract

While Foundation Models provide a general tool for rapid content creation, they regularly require task-specific adaptation. Traditionally, this exercise involves careful curation of datasets and repeated fine-tuning of the underlying model. Fine-tuning techniques enable practitioners to adapt foundation models for many new applications but require expensive and lengthy training while being notably sensitive to hyperparameter choices. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Text-to-LoRA (T2L), a model capable of adapting large language models (LLMs) on the fly solely based on a natural language description of the target task. T2L is a hypernetwork trained to construct LoRAs in a single inexpensive forward pass. After training T2L on a suite of 9 pre-trained LoRA adapters (GSM8K, Arc, etc.), we show that the ad-hoc reconstructed LoRA instances match the performance of task-specific adapters across the corresponding test sets. Furthermore, T2L can compress hundreds of LoRA instances and zero-shot generalize to entirely unseen tasks. This approach provides a significant step towards democratizing the specialization of foundation models and enables language-based adaptation with minimal compute requirements.

User as Engram: Internalizing Per-User Memory as Local Parametric Edits

cs.AI · 2026-06-17 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

User facts are internalized as surgical local edits to a hash-keyed Engram memory table with reasoning skill held in a shared adapter, claimed to match LoRA recall, improve indirect reasoning 5.6x on average, and compose across users with 33,000x smaller footprint than per-user adapters.

Robotic Policy Adaptation via Weight-Space Meta-Learning

cs.RO · 2026-06-05 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

WIZARD meta-learns to map task evidence directly to LoRA updates for VLA policies, reporting up to 14x gains on unseen tasks in simulation and real-robot experiments without test-time optimization or action labels.

Context Memorization for Efficient Long Context Generation

cs.CL · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Attention-state memory externalizes long prefixes into a lightweight lookup table of precomputed attention states, yielding higher accuracy than standard in-context learning at fixed memory budgets and lower latency than full attention.

Parametric Skills

cs.CL · 2026-06-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

ParametricSkills uses a hypernetwork to turn textual skills into LoRA adapters, outperforming in-context learning by 6.44 points on average across six SWE subtasks with higher BERT Score and F1.

Building Better Activation Oracles

cs.LG · 2026-05-23 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Four changes to Activation Oracle training yield marginal capability gains but better practical quality, plus an open-sourced evaluation suite AObench.
