"After K2-Thinking's release, many developers have been curious about its native INT4 quantization format. Shaowei Liu, **infra engineer** at u/Kimi-Moonshot shares an insider's view on why this choice matters, and why quantization today isn't just about sacrificing precision for speed. # Key idea ..."

Addressing divergent representations from causal interventions on neural networks

via Arxiv 👤 Satchel Grant, Simon Jerome Han, Alexa Tartaglini et al. 📅 2025-11-06

"A common approach to mechanistic interpretability is to causally manipulate model representations via targeted interventions in order to understand what those representations encode. Here we ask whether such interventions create out-of-distribution (divergent) representations, and whether this raise..."

Large language models replicate and predict human cooperation across experiments in game theory

"Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used both to make decisions in domains such as health, education and law, and to simulate human behavior. Yet how closely LLMs mirror actual human decision-making remains poorly understood. This gap is critical: misalignment could produce harmful outcome..."

Are language models aware of the road not taken? Token-level uncertainty and hidden state dynamics

"When a language model generates text, the selection of individual tokens might lead it down very different reasoning paths, making uncertainty difficult to quantify. In this work, we consider whether reasoning language models represent the alternate paths that they could take during generation. To t..."

Optimal Inference Schedules for Masked Diffusion Models

via Arxiv 👤 Sitan Chen, Kevin Cong, Jerry Li 📅 2025-11-06

"A major bottleneck of standard auto-regressive large language models is that their inference process is inherently sequential, resulting in very long and costly inference times. To circumvent this, practitioners proposed a class of language models called diffusion language models, of which the maske..."
