AdSteer: Native Advertising in Large Language Model Generation

Large language model (LLM) services face rapidly rising serving costs. To sustain free or affordable access for a broad user base, alternative monetization mechanisms are needed. Native advertising offers a promising approach, as it creates economic value by aligning user intent with merchant offerings. Yet how to inte...

Say Less, Mean Better: Training-Free Verbosity Control for Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) often generate responses longer than necessary, increasing inference latency and computational cost. While prompting can encourage conciseness, controlling output length without compromising response completeness remains challenging. Aggressive early stopping can reduce generation costs but...

Evaluation Contracts and Evaluation Leverage: Sliced-Gap Readings in Structured Prediction Can Move Without Model Change

NLP evaluation reports routinely cite sliced performance differences, most prominently the intra-inter gap in document-level relation extraction, as capability evidence. We show that such gap readings are joint properties of models and evaluation contracts: scoring function, gold version, threshold, output format, and...

Same Rule, Different Verdicts: Rubric Language and Clause Structure in LLM Judges for Korean Support Dialogues

Services that operate in Korean often write their evaluation rubrics in Korean and hand them to an LLM judge. We test whether a judge's verdict depends on the language of the rubric and on how a rubric item is phrased. We write 12 criteria for support dialogues in four clause structures (affirmative, negated, condition...

Dory1.0-4B: A Looped Normalized-GPT

We introduce Dory1.0-4B, a 4-billion-parameter looped (latent-recurrent) language model with elastic depth: a single checkpoint serves different inference compute budgets. Dory1.0-4B is built on a normalized Transformer (nGPT) backbone with interleaved sliding-window and full-attention layers, organized into an input b...

EvoGroup: A Self-Evolving Harness for Group Agents in Shared Contexts

With the rise of Group Agent such as Claude Tag, agents increasingly serve as digital workers for long-term team collaboration. These agents operate over shared contexts that continuously accumulate through multi-user interactions. However, existing agent memory systems are mainly designed for individual users and stru...

A Conditional Mutual Information Analysis of Response Variety in Language Models

Large language models provide a variety of responses at inference (generation) that conventionally depend on a temperature parameter. Using a conditional mutual information approach, a quantitative, entropy based analysis of response variety is given. Three limiting behaviors are defined: arbiter, independent (conditio...

GatedV: Self-Gated Values for Transformer Language Models

Standard attention forms query (Q), key (K), and value (V) matrices through learned linear projections of input hidden states. Architectures such as GAU and Mega incorporate nonlinear transformations into attention. In this paper, we propose GatedV, a simple attention variant that applies SiLU only to V before aggregat...

Write Facts the Way Models Read Them: Lifting the Two-Hop Curse

Legible proposes read-equivalent writing (Legible): one loss term makes the bridge phrase, at the layer where the second hop finishes reading it, match the model's own reading of the new entity, and keeps the same relation's other subjects unchanged.

Fewer Tokens, More Answers: Verifiable-Reward Tuning of an Ornith-Style VLM for Multi-View Driving QA

Reasoning-enabled model derivatives must turn intermediate deliberation into a usable answer within a deployment budget. We study that transition in an Ornith checkpoint adapted to multi-camera driving question answering with verifiable rewards. Paired archived outputs show that, on a selected 400-question development...

Helpful to a Fault: Measuring Illicit Assistance in Multi-Turn, Multilingual LLM Agents

STING (Sequential Testing of Illicit N-step Goal execution), an automated red-teaming framework that constructs a step-by-step illicit plan grounded in a benign persona and iteratively probes a target agent with adaptive follow-ups, using judge agents to track phase completion, provides a practical way to evaluate and...
