RoLaQ: Joint Rotation and Range Calibration for 2-Bit KV Caches in Multi-Head Latent Attention
arXiv:2610.20686v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-head latent attention (MLA) compresses the content of a key-value cache into a shared latent per token, making low-bit storage attractive for long-context inference. At two bits, errors in…

GeoState: Learning View-Decoupled Geometry States for 3D World Modeling
arXiv:2610.22343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent 3D world models increasingly use features from geometry foundation models (GFMs) as predictive world states, benefiting from their rich geometric priors. However, the view dependence of these features…

Learning Topology-Aware Representations for Mechanics-Relevant TPMS Metamaterials
arXiv:2610.20684v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning informative representations of mechanical Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) metamaterials is important for mechanics analysis and structural design, yet existing methods have rarely explicitly supervised learned representations with…

Learning Rewards in Strategic Games
arXiv:2610.21912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding the objectives that drive agents' behavior is crucial in strategic environments, where multiple agents interact and adapt to one another. This challenge arises in domains such as cybersecurity,…

Causal Syntax Circuits in CodeLMs: Budget and Probe Decide What Looks Localised
arXiv:2610.20683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code models write Python when the prompt does not say which language to use. We ask a mechanistic question about that habit: is it produced by a small, findable…

LoopAhead: Speculating Ahead for Faster Decoding in Looped Language Models
arXiv:2610.21594v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Looped Transformers improve parameter efficiency by repeatedly applying the same Transformer layers. However, generating each token still involves sequential computation and repeated access to model weights, leading to high…

Feature Elicitation for SAE Steering of Deceptive Behaviour in Small LLMs
arXiv:2610.20638v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Research on deceptive alignment is becoming increasingly urgent as frontier-model capabilities advance and their risk of causing catastrophic harm increases. Alignment faking is a form of deceptive alignment, with…

Same Answer, New Box: How Much of RLVR's Out-of-Domain Gain Is Answer Format?
arXiv:2610.20639v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is credited with gains beyond the domain its rewards check, such as higher MMLU accuracy after training on mathematics. Such accuracies are usually…

KNOU-Flood: Advancing global streamflow forecasting with lead-aware probabilistic machine learning
arXiv:2610.20640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Global streamflow forecasting supports flood preparedness, yet data-driven models trained on reanalysis lose skill when driven by operational forecasts, increasingly so with lead time. AIFL addresses this shift with…

Diminishing Returns of Data in Sparse Autoencoders: Functional Behavior does not Guarantee Feature Reproducibility
arXiv:2610.20680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are typically trained on hundreds of millions to billions of activation tokens, yet little work has tested whether this scale is necessary. We study how much…

Spectral Indistinguishability and Learning-Curve Identifiability in Quadratic Networks
arXiv:2610.20678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study what spectral summaries and scalar learning curves reveal about centered quadratic networks. We construct analytic positive input densities with exactly Gaussian one- and two-coordinate marginals. Their complete…

Patch where the text is new: a compression view of where byte-level models should spend compute
arXiv:2610.22100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Byte-level language models such as the Byte Latent Transformer (BLT) run their large global model once per patch and start a patch where a small model's next-byte entropy is…
