$S^3$: Stratified Scaling Search for Test-Time in Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2604.06260v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling investigates whether a fixed diffusion language model (DLM) can generate better outputs when given more inference compute, without additional training. However, naive best-of-$K$ sampling is fundamentally limited because it repeatedly draws from the…

Spectral Edge Dynamics Reveal Functional Modes of Learning

arXiv:2604.06256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training dynamics during grokking concentrate along a small number of dominant update directions — the spectral edge — which reliably distinguishes grokking from non-grokking regimes. We show that standard mechanistic interpretability tools (head attribution, activation…

FLeX: Fourier-based Low-rank EXpansion for multilingual transfer

arXiv:2604.06253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-lingual code generation is critical in enterprise environments where multiple programming languages coexist. However, fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) individually for each language is computationally prohibitive. This paper investigates whether parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods and optimizer…

Resource-constrained Amazons chess decision framework integrating large language models and graph attention

arXiv:2603.10512v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence has advanced significantly through the development of intelligent game-playing systems, providing rigorous testbeds for decision-making, strategic planning, and adaptive learning. However, resource-constrained environments pose critical challenges, as conventional deep learning methods heavily rely…

TalkLoRA: Communication-Aware Mixture of Low-Rank Adaptation for Large Language Models

arXiv:2604.06291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) enables parameter-efficient fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs), and recent Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) extensions further enhance flexibility by dynamically combining multiple LoRA experts. However, existing MoE-augmented LoRA methods assume that experts operate independently,…

EVGeoQA: Benchmarking LLMs on Dynamic, Multi-Objective Geo-Spatial Exploration

arXiv:2604.07070v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable reasoning capabilities, their potential for purpose-driven exploration in dynamic geo-spatial environments remains under-investigated. Existing Geo-Spatial Question Answering (GSQA) benchmarks predominantly focus on static retrieval, failing to capture the…

AgentOpt v0.1 Technical Report: Client-Side Optimization for LLM-Based Agent

arXiv:2604.06296v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, including systems such as Manus, OpenClaw, and coding agents. Existing research has primarily focused on emph{server-side} efficiency, proposing methods such as caching, speculative execution, traffic scheduling, and…

$k$-server-bench: Automating Potential Discovery for the $k$-Server Conjecture

arXiv:2604.07240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce a code-based challenge for automated, open-ended mathematical discovery based on the $k$-server conjecture, a central open problem in competitive analysis. The task is to discover a potential function satisfying a large graph-structured system…
