D-Score: A Spectral Hidden-State Signal for Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models

Sparse Autoencoders Encode Both Concepts and Functions: The Downstream Geometry of Feature Effects

Opaque Epistemic Mediation: How LLM Deployment Configurations Shape the Validation of Pseudo-Science

What do Reward Models Memorize?

"This paper studies what discriminatively trained reward models (RMs) memorize by measuring counterfactual memorization on two human preference datasets. We show that RMs 1) misallocate memorization to easy, high margin preference pairs, 2) memorize dataset-specific shortcuts (e.g., model identity, u..."

PIVOT: Efficient Query-Group Indexing for Token-Level Sparse Attention

Eviction as Estimation: A Fixed-Lag Smoothing View of Test-Time Memory, and When Measuring Beats Accumulating

"A language model with a bounded working memory must repeatedly decide which stored items to keep. Every deployed method decides the moment an item arrives, from the past (StreamingLLM, H2O) or from a guess about the future (SnapKV). We recast the choice as an estimation problem on a hidden signal, w..."

Skill Self-Play: Pushing the Frontier of LLM Capability with Co-Evolving Skills

Dynamic Capability Scoping for Enterprise AI Agents: A Synthetic Dataset and Three-Source Permission Architecture

This persistent over-privilege expands the attack surface. We argue that capability scoping must follow a dynamic least-privilege principle and..."

The Regression Tax: Decomposing Why Skills Help and Hurt LLM Agents

"Adding procedural skills to an LLM agent is typically evaluated by average improvement in task success. However, this metric hides an important cost: skills can also make agents worse.

Looping Is Not Reliability: State-Bound Evidence and Typed Revision Contracts for Agentic Code Repair

The Physics of Multi-Turn Long-Horizon Planning: From Pre-training to Post-training via Single- and Multi-Teacher On-Policy Agentic Distillation
