本文提出 CASTER,一种无梯度方法:将源类统计量存储在判别子空间中,从目标批次矩估计一个类共享的仿射变换,并在分类前解析地将源类分布迁移到目标域,使其成为面向冻结模型部署的轻量适配机制。CASTER is introduced, a gradient-free method that stores source class statistics in a discriminative subspace, estimates a class-shared affine transformation from target-batch moments, and analytically transports the source class distributions before classification, which positions CASTER as a lightweight adaptation mechanism for frozen-model deployment.
本文用 C_struct 替代 Jensen-Shannon Divergence 路由:C_struct 是一种结构化代理,通过度量 Vertical-Slash 兼容位置上的 mass 来复现 JSD 的路由决策,同时消除池化 matmul 与后续 KL 散度开销。This work replaces the Jensen-Shannon Divergence routing with C_struct, a structural proxy that measures mass at Vertical-Slash compatible positions and reproduces JSD's routing decisions while eliminating both the pooled matmul and subsequent KL divergence overhead.
提出 CORD,第一个 post-fit adapter,通过从 calibrator 拟合中移除 preservation constraint 来修复完整校准概率向量,从而实现精确的预测保持,并将原始决策的精确恢复交由后续输出修复完成。CORD is proposed, the first post-fit adapter to impose exact prediction preservation by repairing the full calibrated probability vector by removing the preservation constraint from calibrator fitting and assigns exact recovery of the original decision to subsequent output repair.
通过将随机梯度流建模为渗流过程来研究随机梯度下降的动态,其中嵌套的架构对称性迫使子网络以离散块的形式合并,而非通过单边附着。The dynamics of Stochastic Gradient Descent is studied by modeling the stochastic gradient flow as a percolation process, in which nested architectural symmetries force subnetworks to merge in discrete blocks rather than by single-edge attachment.
表面 prompting 未能恢复多样性,而针对入口的干预则成功:使用早期 checkpoint 的 late-layer parameter interpolation 在不损失 pass@1 的情况下将解的覆盖度提高了 37%。While surface prompting fails to recover diversity, entrance-targeted interventions succeed: late-layer parameter interpolation with early checkpoints increases solution coverage by 37% at no loss in pass@1 and late-layer parameter interpolation with early checkpoints increases solution coverage by 37% at no loss in pass@1.
Tangram 是一种 serving 框架,将先前系统动态处理的内容静态解析,可作为现有 non-uniform 压缩方法的即插即用底座,在匹配其精度的同时,端到端吞吐量较 full-KV 基线最高提升 2.6×。Tangram is a serving framework that statically resolves what prior systems handle dynamically, and serves as a drop-in substrate for existing non-uniform compression methods, matching their accuracy while improving end-to-end throughput by up to $2.6\times over the full-KV baseline.
循环状态写回被确立为低精度循环动态的关键决定因素,state-storage interface 被识别为量化循环推理的核心设计考量。R recurrent-state write-back is established as a key determinant of low-precision recurrent dynamics and the state-storage interface is identified as a central design consideration for quantized recurrent inference.

发现合作者专业能力在模型早期层最易被解码,到网络中点前降至接近随机水平,并基于合成语料以单个模型作为初步验证。It is found that partner expertise is most decodable in the early layers and falls to near chance before the midpoint of the network, and one model on a synthetic corpus is used as an initial demonstration.
我们提出 Cadence,一种面向数值时序的误差有界有损压缩器,将 3.3 亿参数的时序基础模型(Google TimesFM-3)与自适应算术编码器相结合,保证每个样本满足 |x_t - x̂_t| ≤ τ。一项负面结论限定了设计空间:在无损编码场景下,基础模型毫无价值,因为节省的比特数仅与预测器精度呈对数关系 Δb = log_2(MAE_old / MAE_new)。因此 TimesFM-3 相对 32 阶线性预测器 1.51 倍的精度优势,在 20.28 比特中仅换取 0.60 比特,中位数增益仅 +0.03%。误差有界编码仅在一点上突破了这一限制。We present Cadence, an error-bounded lossy compressor for numeric time series pairing a 330M-parameter time-series foundation model (Google TimesFM-3) with an adaptive arithmetic coder, guaranteeing |x_t-x_t|leτ on every sample. One negative result constrains the design space: for lossless coding a foundation model is worth nothing, because bits saved are logarithmic in predictor accuracy, Δb=log_2(MAE_{old}/MAE_{new}). So the 1.51times advantage TimesFM-3 holds over a 32-tap linear predictor buys 0.60 bits of 20.28, a median gain of +0.03%. Error-bounded coding escapes this at one point: once
本文为 LLM serving 中的 SD(投机解码)提出了一种简单且可解释的 latency 模型,能够准确刻画实际观测到的 latency,解释为何加速比常随服务器负载上升而下降,并系统刻画了 draft length、acceptance rate 以及 verifier 与 drafter 规模在不同 serving 条件下对 latency 的影响。A simple and interpretable latency model for SD in LLM serving is developed that accurately describes observed latency, explains why speedups often diminish as server load increases, and characterizes how draft length, acceptance rate, and verifier-drafter size shape latency across serving conditions are characterized.

提出 Generative Verification(GenV),通过复用语言模型的原生词表空间,将离线 Z3 等价性预言机蒸馏为无参考、连续参考等价分数,并从理论上证明基于结构、仅判决的验证启发式在这些欺骗性合法轨迹上的检测能力在数学上有界于随机水平。Generative Verification (GenV) is introduced, which distills an offline Z3-equivalence oracle into a reference-free, continuous reference-equivalence score by repurposing the language model's native vocabulary space and theoretically proves that structural, verdict-only verification heuristics are mathematically bounded to chance-level detection on these deceptively valid traces.

本文提出 CATS,一种 self-speculative decoding 框架,在内存受限设备上结合 memory budget 与 parameter offloading pattern 进行级联式 verify 与 correction,在设备峰值显存与单独运行 target model 相当的前提下,最大化 token acceptance rate 与端到端加速比。CATS, a self-speculative decoding framework that conducts cascaded verification and correction based on the memory budget and parameter offloading patterns on memory-limited devices, is proposed, which maximizes token acceptance rate and end-to-end speedup while keeping the peak memory footprint on the device equal to that of the target model alone.

该工作提出了分组值注意力(Grouped Value Attention, GVA),通过存储分组值并在推理时利用可学习的线性映射重构内容键,该映射可被吸收进 query 中,从而在预期解码路径中无需显式物化内容键。This work introduces Grouped Value Attention (GVA), which stores grouped values and reconstructs content keys with a learned linear map at inference, which can be absorbed into the query, eliminating the need to materialize content keys in the intended decode path.
本文提出 DualPath,一种 inference 系统,通过引入 dual-path KV-Cache loading 打破瓶颈,并实现一条新的 storage-to-decode 路径:KV-Cache 先加载到 decode engine,再通过 compute network 上的 RDMA 高效转发至 prefill engine。DualPath is presented, an inference system that breaks this bottleneck by introducing dual-path KV-Cache loading and enables a novel storage-to-decode path, in which the KV-Cache is loaded into decoding engines and then efficiently transferred to prefill engines via RDMA over the compute network.

本文识别出 Value Flattening 是标准 PPO 中 critic 学习的一种重要但被忽视的失效模式,并提出一种简单稀疏监督策略可以缓解该问题;引入 SParse Proximal Policy Optimization,在每个响应中仅对少数间隔良好的状态施加 value loss,以同时缓解两种效应。Value Flattening is identified as an important yet overlooked failure mode of critic learning in standard PPO and a simple sparse supervision strategy can mitigate it; SParse Proximal Policy Optimization is introduced, which applies the value loss to only a few well-separated states in each response to mitigate both effects.
本文提出 Edge0,一个流式 MoE 推理引擎,通过 prerouter 缩小差距:每层 head 提前一个 token 预测下一层的 routing,并将该预测直接作为 routing 使用,使分阶段 expert 集合等于路由集合,无任何丢弃。Edge0 is presented, a streaming MoE inference engine that closes the gap with a prerouter: a per-layer head predicts the next layer's routing one token ahead, and the prediction is consumed as the routing itself, so the staged expert set equals the routed set and nothing is dropped.

我们研究 on-policy 蒸馏 (OPD) 中的长度膨胀现象,即学生回答会变得过长,甚至耗尽生成预算。我们发现基础学生模型与训练后教师模型之间的终止 token 不匹配是该行为的重要来源。在 Qwen3、Llama 和 Gemma 上,两个模型可能将停止概率分配到不同的 EOS token 上,即便它们声明的停止集合相同。这种不匹配会抑制学生偏好的终止动作,同时无法可靠地传递教师偏好的替代动作。我们证明对齐 t...We study length inflation in on-policy distillation (OPD), where student responses can become excessively long and even exhaust the generation budget. We identify termination-token mismatch between base students and post-trained teachers as an important source of this behavior. Across Qwen3, Llama, and Gemma, the two models can place their stopping probability on different EOS tokens, even when their declared stopping sets are identical. This mismatch can suppress the student's preferred termination action without reliably transferring the teacher-preferred alternative. We show that aligning t
结果表明,仅靠候选数量不足以刻画多候选 test-time scaling 的系统成本;评测应同时报告候选数量与准确率,以及生成调度和 GPU 层级的系统指标。The results show that candidate count alone is not enough to describe the systems cost of multi-candidate test-time scaling and Evaluations should report not only candidate count and accuracy, but also generation schedule and GPU-level systems metrics.
