FlatCake: A Flat KVCache Storage Architecture for LLM Serving

arXiv:2610.38355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: KV cache reuse accelerates LLM serving, but existing systems manage host DRAM and NVMe SSD as a tiered hierarchy where DRAM acts as an intermediate cache. Production LLM workloads break both premises of this hierarchy. First, bimodal reuse defeats DRAM temporal filtering, since workloads are dominated either by one-shot blocks with long reuse distances or by multi-gigabyte agentic sessions that exceed DRAM capacity, putting SSD on the critical read path. Second, DRAM staging and eviction-ordered layout bottleneck SSD restoration. Holding host staging buffers for in-flight prefixes causes contention under load that aborts prefetches, while incremental eviction scatters a session's blocks across the SSD and prevents large sequential reads.

Lighthouse: The First Trusted Digital Assistant Dedicated to the History of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement Has Been Released

The paper arXiv:2610.30158v1, published on October 24, 2026, introduces Lighthouse, the first digital assistant dedicated to exploring the history of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, based on archival data from South Carolina. Its core innovation lies in adopting trustworthy content and user harm mitigation as design principles, employing a neuro-symbolic hybrid architecture that integrates large language models with rule-based symbolic reasoning.

Lighthouse: On Building a Trustworthy Digital Assistant for Exploring History with Civil Rights Archives

Why it matters:This study is the first to apply AI‑assisted historical exploration to the sensitive and pivotal period of the Civil Rights Movement, explicitly introducing dual constraints—“trustworthiness” and “harm modeling”—which set it apart from general‑purpose chatbots. Its methodology (neurosymbolic integration), evaluation approach (including a human‑consensus‑based gold standard for subjective questions), and data scale (over 18,000 original archival documents) all hold significant academic demonstrative value.

Qwen2.5: A Party of Foundation Models!

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction In the past three months since Qwen2’s release, numerous developers have built new models on the Qwen2 language models, providing us with valuable feedback. During this period, we have focused on creating smarter and more knowledgeable language models. Today, we are excited to introduce the latest addition to the Qwen family: Qwen2.5. We are announcing what might be the largest opensource release in history!

Qwen2.5-Math: The world's leading open-sourced mathematical LLMs

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD 🚨 Qwen2.5-Math mainly supports solving English and Chinese math problems through CoT and TIR. We do not recommend using this series of models for other tasks. Introduction A month ago, we released the first series of mathematical LLMs - Qwen2-Math - of our Qwen family. Today, we have upgraded it and open-sourced Qwen2.5-Math series, including base models Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B/7B/72B, instruction-tuned models Qwen2.5-Math-1.5B/7B/72B-Instruct, and mathematical reward model Qwen2.

Qwen2-Audio: Chat with Your Voice!

DEMO PAPER GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD To achieve the objective of building an AGI system, the model should be capable of understanding information from different modalities. Thanks to the rapid development of large language models, LLMs are now capable of understanding language and reasoning. Previously we have taken a step forward to extend our LLM, i.e., Qwen, to more modalities, including vision and audio, and built Qwen-VL and Qwen-Audio. Today, we release Qwen2-Audio, the next version of Qwen-Audio, which is capable of accepting audio and text inputs and generating text outputs.
