🧠 LLMs 2

Capturing LLM Capabilities via Evidence-Calibrated Query Clustering [1]
Fangzhou Wu, Sandeep Silwal, Qiuyi Zhang
Query clustering organizes queries into groups that reflect shared latent capability demands, enabling capability-aware LLM evaluation. Existing clustering methods, which primarily rely on semantic…
cs.LGcs.AI
Learning from Language Feedback via Variational Policy Distillation [5]
Yang Li, Erik Nijkamp, Semih Yavuz, Shafiq Joty
Reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) suffers from sparse outcome signals, creating severe exploration bottlenecks on complex reasoning tasks. Recent on-policy self-distillation…

🤖 Machine Learning 4

DynMuon: A Dynamic Spectral Shaping View of Muon [2]
Fangzhou Wu, Rikhav Shah, Sandeep Silwal, Qiuyi Zhang
In recent years, Muon has emerged as the dominant method for training large language models, and transformers more broadly. The essential difference, when compared to standard gradient descent…
cs.LGcs.NA
Decoupling the Benefits of Subword Tokenization for Language Model Training via Byte-level Simulation [4]
Théo Gigant, Bowen Peng, Jeffrey Quesnelle
Subword tokenization is an essential part of modern large language models (LLMs), yet its specific contributions to training efficiency and model performance remain poorly understood. In this work,…
cs.CLcs.LG
Lost in the Folds: When Cross-Validation Is Not a Deep Ensemble for Uncertainty Estimation [7]
Kirscher Tristan, Bujotzek Markus, Kirchhoff Yannick, Rokuss Maximilian, Isensee Fabian
Ensemble disagreement is widely used as a proxy for epistemic uncertainty in medical image segmentation. In practice, many studies form ensembles via K-fold cross-validation (CV), yet refer to them…
cs.LGcs.CV
PanoWorld: A Generative Spatial World Model for Consistent Whole-House Panorama Synthesis [8]
Jinrang Jia, Zhenjia Li, Yijiang Hu, Yifeng Shi
Generating a consistent whole-house VR tour from a floorplan and style reference requires both photorealistic panoramas and cross-view spatial coherence. Pure 2D generators produce appealing single…

⚙️ ML Systems 1

TIDE: Efficient and Lossless MoE Diffusion LLM Inference with I/O-aware Expert Offload [3]
Zhiben Chen, Youpeng Zhao, Yang Sui, Jun Wang, Yuzhang Shang
Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have emerged as a competitive alternative to autoregressive (AR) models, offering better hardware utilization and bidirectional context through parallel…

🔬 Agents & Reasoning 2

SaaSBench: Exploring the Boundaries of Coding Agents in Long-Horizon Enterprise SaaS Engineering [6]
Qingnan Ren, Shun Zou, Shiting Huang, Ziao Zhang, Kou Shi
As autonomous coding agents become capable of handling increasingly long-horizon tasks, they have gradually demonstrated the potential to complete end-to-end software development. Although existing…
cs.SEcs.AI
MINTEval: Evaluating Memory under Multi-Target Interference in Long-Horizon Agent Systems [9]
Hyunji Lee, Justin Chih-Yao Chen, Joykirat Singh, Zaid Khan, Elias Stengel-Eskin
Real-world agents operate over long and evolving horizons, where information is repeatedly updated and may interfere across memories, requiring accurate recall and aggregated reasoning over multiple…

📡 Lobste.rs 6

OCaml Infrastructure: How the opam-repository Works [10]
> The opam package repository is a commons rather than a publishing platform: it is manually curated, so not all packages submitted for publication are accepted; it is maintained…
Lobste.rs
CVE-2026-47243: Kata Containers guest-root to host-root escape via virtiofs [11]
Article on Kata Containers guest-root to host-root escape via virtiofs
Lobste.rs
How to open calc.exe from S&Box [12]
So, S&Box went “open source”. I don’t personally have any interest in the platform, but I did have interest in how they securely execute C# code…
Lobste.rs
Dependency cooldowns are unfair; we should use phased rollouts instead [13]
Auto Light Rust Coal Navy Ayu Scott Takes document.getElementById('mdbook-sidebar-toggle').setAttribute('aria-expanded', sidebar === 'visible');…
Lobste.rs
A Private pkg Repo Behind Mutual TLS [14]
I am a big fan of mutual TLS ("mTLS" if you prefer the shorter spelling, "client certificates" if you are describing the half a user actually touches). Strangely, I rarely see it…

ChatGPT Won't Let You Type Until Cloudflare Reads Your React State. I Decrypted the Program That Does It [15]
Edit April 2, 2026: I've been getting inbound interest from researchers wanting to run their own queries. The MCP integration I use for my own research lets you analyze live…
