SPLIT preprint reports improved allocation of AI inference budgets
Researchers report that SPLIT, a method for allocating computing budgets when AI systems answer questions or perform tasks, came within 0.02-0.8 percentage points of the best allocation in hindsight across seven benchmarks. The pr...
LLM-generated quantum compilers reduce ion movement steps in benchmarks
Researchers report in an arXiv preprint that compilers generated by Claude Opus 4.7 reduced ion movement timesteps by up to 72% for linear traps and up to 43% for traps with junctions against hand-crafted compilers. These programs...
LLM-Attacker preprint tests privacy risks in split language models
Researchers present LLM-Attacker in a preprint, introducing a framework for comparing attacks that reconstruct private text from messages exchanged between client and server portions of language models. It records attacker access,...
AlphaBet preprint reports improved probability forecasts through agent training
Researchers report that AlphaBet, a reinforcement learning framework, improved GLM-4.5-Air's event probability forecasts on two benchmarks. Brier scores, which measure probability forecast error, fell from 0.731 to 0.626 on Foreca...
HybridAgent preprint reports lower token use and faster inference
Researchers report that HybridAgent, an AI agent that switches between internal representations and text, reduced token use by 35.5%-54.7% and delivered 1.8x-2.6x faster inference in benchmark evaluations. The preprint also report...
