Agent in a Bottle: Can LLM Agents Turn Their Capabilities Into Cheap, Scalable Artifacts?

This work introduces BOTTLED, a benchmark in which agents receive an entire unlabelled workload and must complete it under fixed time, compute and LLM API budgets, and finds that strong zero-shot task performance does not reliably translate into strong bottling capabilities.

Small Language Models for Smart Data Model Classification at the Edge: A Cost-Aware Hybrid Approach

This study evaluates the performance of lightweight open-source language models to resolve an input data entity against its corresponding best fitting SDM representation under resource-constrained conditions and provides significant and valuable insights into model selection, task formulation, and deployment strategies...

A Shape-Adaptive Architecture with Disaggregated Quantization for Efficient LLM Serving

DynaCore is presented, a unified architecture for efficient LLM serving via system-architecture co-design that substantially reduces service-level latency over quantization and reconfigurable accelerators, and proposes disaggregated quantization, applying dual-side quantization to prefill and weight-only quantization t...

HarnessSecurity-Bench: Do Security Mechanisms Really Protect Coding Agent Harnesses?

This work presents HarnessSecurity, the first systematic empirical study and benchmark of open- and closed-source coding agent harnesses, and derives a ten-mechanism taxonomy and assesses 400 harness-mechanism cells using independent ratings by researchers and large language model judges.

Massive Activation Gating Channel in Large Language Models

This paper finds that the emergence of massive activations is controlled by a single channel in the input embedding to a spike feed-forward network (FFN), and names this channel the massive activation gating channel (MAGC).

Preparing an AI-Augmented SIEM for the EU Cyber Resilience Act: A Practitioner Case Study

This case study documents a CRA preparedness pilot for one such product, SEUXDR, an AI-augmented security monitoring product with a large-language-model active-response component on the open-source CYBERFORT platform, and offers practitioners a replicable starting point for translating CRA legal text into operational p...

SCSM: A Traffic-Native Foundation Model for Transferable Website Fingerprinting

SCSM constructs pairs of pretraining views from the same group of unlabeled traces through Segmentation, Combination, Scaling, and Masking, which produces diverse observable patterns while preserving the underlying packet events and local traffic dynamics of real trace fragments.

From Delivery to Stateful Exploration: Rethinking the Index for Agentic Search

IndexAct is proposed, an interface for Index-Native Corpus Interaction that separates candidate-set refinement from text inspection, and achieves higher evidence coverage with a smaller average live context than terminal-based corpus interfaces, and maintains answer accuracy as the corpus expands.

BARE-AI: Bit-Flip Attack Resilience in AI Hardware through Built-in Performance Monitors

BARE-AI, a runtime framework that detects, localizes, and mitigates BFAs during inference, and introduces AI Performance Counters, lightweight hardware monitors in the accelerator datapath that capture per-layer activation statistics such as sparsity, entropy, kurtosis, and spectral shift.

When the Commons Appropriates a Large Language Model: How WikiVault Reshaped Korean Wikipedia

Large Language Models (LLMs) have disrupted the balance between content production and quality assurance that sustains knowledge commons, leading many to prohibit or restrict their use. But what happens when a community instead appropriates an LLM-powered tool for its own needs? We investigate this question through Wik...

The Failure Is in the Readout: Fine-Grained Emotion Recognition Benchmarks Measure Elicitation, Not Perception

Fine-grained emotion recognition supports therapy tools and social robots, but it needs facial data, which raises privacy and data-protection concerns. EmoNet-Face-HQ answers that with generated portraits, expert-rated over a $40$-category taxonomy far finer than the usual six to eight basic emotions. Under the protoco...
