InferSlice: A Reference Architecture for SLO-driven LLM Inference over a Telco Wide-Area Network

arXiv:2610.32638v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM inference is increasingly deployed as a core service for enterprise and interactive applications, but sovereignty, compliance, latency and resource-locality requirements can limit the suitability of centralised cloud deployments. Telco operators offer geographically distributed compute and network infrastructure for addressing these constraints. However, existing LLM serving frameworks are designed for tightly coupled data centres and provide limited support for coordinating geographically distributed and heterogeneous resources. We present InferSlice, a reference architecture for Service-Level Objective (SLO)-driven LLM inference over a telco infrastructure, integrating network slicing, GPU partitioning, elastic serving and observability

Toward Open ISA Supercomputing: A Comparative Study of RISC-V, Arm, and x86 Architectures on HPC Workloads

arXiv:2610.32632v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: RISC-V is emerging as a candidate architecture for high-performance computing (HPC), but its competitiveness against established x86 and Arm processors remains difficult to assess because existing studies use different platforms, workloads, and methodologies, and rarely consider energy efficiency. Our work provides an evaluation of contemporary HPC RISC-V, Arm, and x86 processors using a common software stack and methodology. We characterize the Sophgo SG2044 and compare it with the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip and Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ across four HPC benchmarks (STREAM, HPL, HPL-MxP, and HPCG) and four representative applications (iPIC3D, PLUTO, OpenFOAM, and llama.cpp). The version of HPL-MxP linked to OpenBLAS built and used for this wo

HyScale: Scaling Long-Context Training for Learned Sparse Attention

arXiv:2610.32057v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present HyScale, a long-context training system for learned sparse attention. Learned sparse attention is a promising architecture for million-token contexts, widely adopted in production since DeepSeek-V3.2. Selection, however, grows into the training bottleneck. For each query, it scores every previous token whereas sparse attention reads only $k$; worse, current systems materialize a full score table and repeat selection during recomputation. Our key insight is that the output of selection is not an activation, but rather a set of indices. Building on it, HyScale introduces HyTopK and selection replay. HyTopK finds each query's exact top-$k$ on the fly without a score table, while selection replay reuses forward-pass selection in recomp

In LLM evaluation, relying solely on the overall F1 score to validate automated scorers carries the risk of misleading results: a new study underscores the need to calibrate for prompt-specific differences.

An arXiv paper (2610.31678v1) points out that, in interactive evaluations of large language models, relying solely on the overall accuracy or F1 score of automated scorers can mask prompt-specific errors, leading to misjudgments of prompt effects. Empirical evidence shows that the same scorer exhibits substantial variation in its false-positive rate across different prompts (2.6%–33.3%), and a seemingly significant 9.3-point effect shrinks to 2.3 points—and becomes non-significant—under dual-LLM review.

Validating the Comparison, Not Just the Scorer: Why Overall Accuracy Can Mislead in Interactive LLM Evaluation

Why it matters:This study, based on real experimental data (6 models, 180 fictional entity‑based questions, and 6 prompt conditions), reveals a widespread methodological flaw in current LLM evaluations: equating the scorer’s overall performance with its reliability on key benchmark tasks. Its central claim—that each prompt must be audited separately and uncertainty must be incorporated—rests on clear empirical evidence and offers actionable recommendations, making it highly timely (published on 2026‑10‑26) and backed by a credible source (the arXiv preprint platform).

FairStress: A Novel Fairness Evaluation Framework for Symmetric Robustness in LLM Decision-Making

FairStress is a new benchmark that focuses on the decision stability, interpretability consistency, and internal representation symmetry of large language models (LLMs) in demographic identity substitution scenarios. It reveals systematic behavioral biases in these models, such as “anti-stereotypical over-correction,” and highlights that mainstream evaluation methods—like BBQ—may misjudge the direction of bias due to paradigmatic differences.

llm-meta-ai 0.2

Release: llm-meta-ai 0.2 Meta AI release Muse Wonder (and Muse Wonder Full), their new "most capable models". These look like they may be Meta's first Fable class models - Artificial Analysis scores Muse Wonder (Max) as equivalent to GPT-6.1 Sol. I updated my llm-meta-ai plugin for the new model. Here are pelicans for Muse Wonder for the six reasoning levels: minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max. This is the max one: For comparison, here are pelicans for Muse 1.3 (released September 2nd) and Muse 1.2 (released August 5th). Meta AI are putting out a new model a month, and the improvements between each model (at least in terms of drawing pelicans) are material.

Qwen2.5-Max: Exploring the Intelligence of Large-scale MoE Model

QWEN CHAT API DEMO DISCORD It is widely recognized that continuously scaling both data size and model size can lead to significant improvements in model intelligence. However, the research and industry community has limited experience in effectively scaling extremely large models, whether they are dense or Mixture-of-Expert (MoE) models. Many critical details regarding this scaling process were only disclosed with the recent release of DeepSeek V3. Concurrently, we are developing Qwen2.

Towards Effective Process Supervision in Mathematical Reasoning

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD Introduction In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have made remarkable advances in mathematical reasoning, yet they can make mistakes, such as miscalculations or logical errors, leading to wrong conclusions. Moreover, even when achieving correct final answers, these powerful models can still regularly make up plausible reasoning steps, where the final answers build upon flawed calculations or derivations, which undermine the reliability and trustworthiness of LLMs’ reasoning processes.
