AMD’s Helion Could Change the Cost of Running AI Agents

AMD’s Helion combines configurable CPU and GPU racks with model routing to address the computing demands of AI agents. Its potential savings depend on deployment costs and real-world performance.

O\'ido: Open-Vocabulary Speech Recognition on a $5 Microcontroller without a Neural Accelerator

arXiv:2610.13447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech recognition on low-cost microcontrollers is, in practice, limited to keyword spotting or a fixed list of commands. We present O\'ido, an inference engine that…

CAST: Credit Alignment for Cross-Tokenizer On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2610.13257v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-tokenizer on-policy distillation (OPD) requires aligning teacher and student sequences before their scores can be compared. Decoded-text alignment provides such…

From 2.1M Hours of Raw Broadcast Audio to Finnish Speech SSL: Confidence Filtering and Architectural Analysis at Scale

arXiv:2610.13102v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Broadcast archives offer scale and diversity for self-supervised learning (SSL) but contain substantial noisy, non-speech, and multilingual content. Prior work typically…

Test-Time Memory Construction

arXiv:2610.13348v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle to answer questions over long interaction histories, where relevant evidence may be scattered across distant sessions. Existing…

A generative-informed neuro-symbolic framework for syntactic ambiguity resolution: Evidence from Arabic DPs

arXiv:2610.02529v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Syntactic ambiguity poses a persistent challenge for Arabic NLP, particularly in morphologically rich nominal constructions where multiple structu6ral interpretations…

Knowing When to Stop: Efficient Context Processing via Latent Sufficiency Signals

arXiv:2502.01025v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) process entire input contexts indiscriminately, which is inefficient when the information required to answer a query is localized within…

When LLMs Sit Above Diagnostic Tools: Unrealized Complementarity in Industrial Fault Diagnosis

arXiv:2610.05031v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models are increasingly used as integration layers above specialized tools, but a stronger component does not necessarily produce a stronger combined…

How AI Writing Assistance Distorts Perceptions of AI Users and Their Opinions

arXiv:2604.22503v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Hundreds of millions of people use AI for writing assistance. We asked how AI distorts perceptions of AI users and their opinions. Writers (N=2,939) wrote political…

SOAR: Source-Aware Reinforcement Learning with Precise Credit Assignment for Search Agents

arXiv:2610.13157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for search agents often suffers from evidence fabrication, a failure mode where agents bypass external information ($E_{ext}$) and fabricate an…

Towards Enriching Design-Time Models with Evidence from Simulation and Operational Activities

arXiv:2610.13456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cyber-Physical Systems are developed through multiple model based activities, comprising several stages of development. As the development progresses through simulation,…

Smoothing the Top-k Exposure Boundary for Sparse Mixture-of-Experts

arXiv:2610.11575v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts models scale parameter capacity efficiently while maintaining a fixed compute budget per token. However, traditional training paradigms…

A Better Metric Will Not Save You: What You Compare Beats How You Compare It

arXiv:2610.13476v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Representational similarity measures (RSA, CKA, Procrustes) are chosen for the transformations they treat as irrelevant, and all of them take the set of conditions as…
