EdgeFlowerTune is a real-device benchmark that jointly assesses model quality and system costs for federated LLM fine-tuning on edge hardware using three protocols: Quality-under-Budget, Cost-to-Target, and Robustness.
Diffusion language models develop early-layer collapse around an indispensable super-outlier due to overtraining, resulting in higher compressibility and reversed optimal sparsity patterns versus autoregressive models.
Preconditioned delta-rule models with a diagonal curvature approximation improve upon standard DeltaNet, GDN, and KDA by better approximating the test-time regression objective.
SimDiff uses similarity and difference metrics to prune LLM layers more effectively than cosine similarity alone, retaining over 91% performance at 25% pruning on LLaMA2-7B.
DeepSeek-V2 delivers top-tier open-source LLM performance using only 21B active parameters by compressing the KV cache 93.3% and cutting training costs 42.5% via MLA and DeepSeekMoE.
GAIA benchmark shows humans at 92% accuracy on simple real-world questions far outperform current AI systems at 15%, proposing this gap as a key milestone for general AI.
Proposes a textbook-based true/false QA task where PTLMs score ~50% closed-book even after pre-training on the text and ~60% open-book with retrieval.
Prompt tuning matches full model tuning performance on large language models while tuning only a small fraction of parameters and improves robustness to domain shifts.
LoFa is a new benchmark and LFR@k metric for measuring LLM resistance to sustained logical fallacy attacks via generated question-argument pairs and debate simulations.
Pruning attention layers in five LLMs across eight datasets maintains accuracy but degrades faithfulness and calibration.
TN-gram replaces per-order hash tables in n-gram memory modules with a CP tensor factorization that shares token-position factors and uses order-absorption vectors, achieving comparable or better performance with fewer parameters.
Post-hoc model-based compression of reasoning traces cuts training tokens to 12-30% and speeds training 2-7.6x while retaining up to 96% of raw-trace accuracy, though raw traces remain superior at every scale.
MLP activations measured as massive activations or first four moments correlate weakly (max |Spearman| = 0.33) with in-context example quality across Llama-3.2-3B, Qwen2.5-3B, and multiple classification/generative tasks, so activation-based active learning should not be used for ICL.
SSMoE uses eigenvectors of expert weights via SVD to build training-free non-collapsing routers for SMoE models in language and vision tasks.
Proxy metrics from next-token distributions over expert solutions outperform loss and compute baselines for ranking LLMs, selecting pretraining data, and extrapolating performance across compute scales.
GRASPrune removes 50% of parameters from LLaMA-2-7B via global gating and projected straight-through estimation, reaching 12.18 WikiText-2 perplexity and competitive zero-shot accuracy after four epochs on 512 calibration sequences.
REGLU guides LoRA-based unlearning via representation subspaces and orthogonal regularization to outperform prior methods on forget-retain trade-off in LLM benchmarks.
TalkLoRA equips MoE-LoRA experts with a communication module that smooths routing dynamics and improves performance on language tasks under similar parameter budgets.
PEFT-Bench is a standardized end-to-end benchmark for 7 PEFT methods across 27 NLP datasets on autoregressive LLMs, accompanied by the PSCP metric that penalizes based on trainable parameters, inference speed, and training memory.
ScaLoRA analytically derives per-update column scalings that let low-rank increments accumulate into high-rank weight updates, yielding faster convergence and higher accuracy than prior LoRA variants on LLMs up to 12B parameters.
Math reasoning gains in LLMs rarely transfer to general domains; RL tuning generalizes while SFT causes forgetting and representation drift.
Titans combine attention for current context with a learnable neural memory for long-term history, achieving better performance and scaling to over 2M-token contexts on language, reasoning, genomics, and time-series tasks.
DCLM-Baseline dataset lets a 7B model reach 64% 5-shot MMLU accuracy after 2.6T tokens, beating prior open-data models by 6.6 points on MMLU with 40% less compute.
