arXiv:2606.07643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in Omni-Multimodal Large Language Models (Omni-MLLMs) have enabled strong integration of vision, audio, and language. However, their audio-visual intelligence (AVI) remains insufficiently evaluated due to the lack of systematic and comprehensive benchmarks. We introduce AVI-Bench, a cognitively inspired benchmark that evaluates Omni-MLLMs across three stages, perception, understanding, and […]
FuseFSS: Efficient Secure LLM Inference with Function Secret Sharing
arXiv:2606.09551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Two-server secure inference allows a client to query a hosted large language model (LLM) without revealing prompts or embeddings. Recent GPU systems based on function secret sharing (FSS) make linear layers efficient, but fixed-point nonlinearities and helper operations remain a bottleneck because each operator is typically implemented as a bespoke […]
AgentCompile: An LLM-Guided Compiler for Direct CUDA Inference
arXiv:2606.07665v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer inference increasingly depends on specialized compiler and runtime support, but real model graphs still require semantic decisions about which regions are worth specializing and which CUDA implementation families are plausible. We present AgentCompile, an LLM-guided CUDA inference compiler that uses LLM outputs only as advisory search metadata. Given compiler-derived […]
Overcoming the Regulatory Bottleneck via Agent-to-Agent Protocols: A Nuclear Case Study
arXiv:2606.07866v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Regulatory review of advanced nuclear reactor designs routinely spans more than three years and consumes hundreds of millions of dollars in combined regulator and applicant labor. We present the Regulatory Context Protocol (RCP), an Agent-to-Agent communication standard that replaces the formal human-to-human pipeline between regulators and applicants with a structured, […]
Semantic Cache Distillation: Efficient State Transfer via Reuse and Selective Patching
arXiv:2606.07684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Disaggregated serving alleviates memory bottlenecks in Large Language Model (LLM) inference but creates a severe communication bottleneck: transmitting high-dimensional Key-Value (KV) caches often dominates time-to-first-token (TTFT). Moreover, reusing caches across heterogeneous models (e.g., base and fine-tuned variants) causes semantic misalignment that accumulates over layers, degrading generation quality. We propose Semantic […]
An Agency-Transferring Model-Free Policy Enhancement Technique
arXiv:2606.09825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training reinforcement learning (RL) policies from scratch is costly: it requires careful reward and environment design, extensive tuning, and substantial computation. Yet many control problems already have a functional but suboptimal policy available as a baseline. This paper proposes a method for embedding such a baseline into the RL training […]
Adversarial Robustness of Activation Steering in Large Language Models
arXiv:2606.07696v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation steering has become a popular training-free method to control LLM behavior by injecting precomputed direction vectors into the model’s residual stream at inference time. Yet its robustness to realistic input variation remains unstudied. We present the first systematic evaluation of activation steering robustness under adversarial text perturbations on the […]
Safety is Contextual, LLM-Judges Are Not: Navigating the Rigid Priors of Evaluators
arXiv:2606.07874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs-as-judges are the only way to evaluate safety at scale. Despite their importance, LLM-judges themselves are rarely evaluated beyond human agreement in simple, static benchmarks. We therefore investigate two under-explored but crucial properties of LLMs-as-judges: their susceptibility to relying on in context-information, and their steerability to differing safety definitions, which […]
MLingualFC: Evaluating Jailbreak Vulnerabilities in Multilingual Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2606.07706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated strong performance across multimodal tasks, yet their safety robustness remains an open challenge. While prior work has shown that structured visual prompts such as flowcharts can effectively jailbreak VLMs, existing studies are largely limited to English-centric settings. In this paper, we introduce MLingualFC, a multilingual […]
Payoff scaling shapes cooperation in LLM agents across languages
arXiv:2601.19082v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as autonomous agents that negotiate, coordinate, and act on behalf of users. Whether they cooperate in such settings is no longer just an academic question, but a central issue for AI governance. We approach it from a strategic-behaviour angle, asking how two everyday […]
Multi-planar 2D-U-Net Segmentation of 3D-CT Abdominal Organs augmented by Spatial Occurrence Maps
arXiv:2606.07717v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work proposes a lightweight 2D-U-Net-based framework for segmenting five abdominal organs in large field-of-view 3D CT scans. The method combines coarse-to-fine segmentation, predictions from multiple anatomical planes, and additional fuzzy 3D spatial maps that provide anatomical location cues to improve segmentation accuracy. We combine multi-planar 2D-U-Net models augmented by […]
The AI Epistemic Deference Index: A Continuous Measure of Sycophancy
arXiv:2606.07897v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current AI models frequently exhibit epistemic sycophancy, endorsing claims to agree with a user. Existing evaluations typically measure this either by assessing what it takes to make a model shift a binary endorsement or by eliciting an explicit probability in a proposition. However, much user-facing sycophantic behavior is demonstrated through […]
