Latest Articles

• Domain-Specific Jargon in Large Language Models: A Comparative Analysis between General-Purpose and Specialist Models — Medical fine-tuning of Llama-3.1 counterintuitively hurts jargon comprehension versus the base model — mechanistic interpretability shows the fine-tuned model over-weights a small set of jargon-favoring components instead of redistributing parametric knowledge, accepted to EMNLP 2026.
• NeuroActiSep: Detecting Factual Hallucinations from Feed-Forward Neurons in a Single Pass — NeuroActiSep identifies feed-forward neurons correlated with factual hallucinations at the final prompt token and shows their identities transfer across QA datasets — offering a single-pass hallucination detector that performs on par with probes trained on full internal state representations.
• Disentangling Topology and Diversity in Multi-Agent LLMs for Multilingual Low-Resource Emotion Detection — A controlled 2×3 study of multi-agent LLM configurations finds that how agents are differentiated — learned QLoRA specialization, role prompting, or sampling — matters more than how they are connected (parallel vs sequential), with specialized parallel agents reaching 52.94 Macro-F1 on multilingual emotion detection.
• Refusal Reads Only a Slice of What the Model Knows: Harm-Keyed Routing and Its Exceptions Across Model Families — Causal analysis across four open-weight model families shows LLM refusal reads only a single harm direction — not the broader moral reasoning subspace — with three-quarters of refusal's causal input lying outside moral content, explaining why single-direction edits bypass alignment while leaving moral comprehension intact.
• SpliTEE: Improving LLM Inference on Trusted Hardware with Differentially Private GPU Outsourcing — SpliTEE protects LLM user prompts by splitting inference between a CPU Trusted Execution Environment and an untrusted GPU—using differential privacy on intermediate representations—running nearly 2x faster than fully CPU-based TEE inference while blocking prompt reconstruction attacks that can otherwise recover inputs with ~80% accuracy.
• MoME: Mixture-of-Memory Embeddings for Context-Aware Sparse Lookup — MoME replaces LLM token embeddings with context-aware mixtures of M memory slots, letting the same surface token retrieve different embeddings depending on its meaning — improving over fixed-entry baselines on Llama-3, MobileLLM, and Qwen3 backbones.
• GGUF-Metadata Prediction of Single-Sequence llama.cpp Throughput Across Three Systems — llama.cpp inference throughput on Apple M4 Max can be predicted from GGUF file metadata with 13–14% mean error by counting active parameters rather than total parameters — 3–4x more accurate than the naive total-parameter baseline, with weaker results on RTX 5080 at 36% error.
• Breaking the Token Ceiling: Distilling Smaller, Stronger Byte Models — At scale, distilled byte-level models surpass token-based 1B models by up to 8.1% on downstream benchmarks and match token model performance using just one-sixth the training data — challenging the assumption that byte tokenization is inherently less efficient.
• Dead Weights, Live Signals: Feedforward Graphs of Frozen Language Models — Researchers achieve 87.3% on ARC-Challenge using a graph of five frozen LLMs connected by 17.6M trainable linear projections—outperforming the best single constituent model by 11.4 points—demonstrating that backpropagation through frozen model boundaries is tractable and that emergent routing behavior appears without explicit supervision.
• From Hacks to Bioweapons, Claude Misuse Is Now Everywhere — Wired's final security roundup covers Claude being misused for cyberattacks and bioweapon research, Meta failing to remove roughly 350 AI-generated child abuse ads, and Clearview AI testing a new tool that maps a target's associates and social media presence.
