ggml-cpu : rewrite concat as one row kernel for all types (#31179) Every dst row comes from src0 or src1, or for dim 0 from the row of src0 followed by the row of src1, so a single kernel covers every type: a dense source row is one memcpy, quantized types included, and a strided source is copied element by element with the element size known at compile time. Rows are split across threads instead of i2 alone, which is often 1, and are copied in tiles of 32: for a transposed source the elements are walked in the outer loop, so the rows of a tile read neighboring addresses instead of jumping a full row stride per element. Add transposed b cases to test_concat, the layout of the delta-net conv input, and a perf case for it. **Website:** - **Attestations:** - **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Sili

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

A new arXiv paper proposes an intelligent agent framework for traceable multimodal emotion reasoning, supporting evidence verification and prompt repair without weight updates.

On October 26, 2026, arXiv published a preprint paper (ID 2610.31685v1) that proposes a traceable multimodal emotion‑reasoning intelligent agent architecture based on frozen large models. By leveraging modality‑specific perception agents, an integration agent, an MLLM critic, and an evidence‑verification stage, the framework achieves error attribution and adaptive optimization of the prompt space, improving the F‑score for emotion recognition across several open‑source multimodal large models (with 2B–38B parameters) by 0.6–2.2 points on the MER2025 dataset.

An Agentic Approach with Evidence-Grounded Verification for Multimodal Emotion Reasoning in Conversation

Why it matters:This study addresses the trade-off between high instruction fine-tuning costs and the non‑debuggable pipeline of intelligent agents in current multimodal emotion‑reasoning systems by proposing the first end-to-end interpretable framework that integrates evidence citation, certainty verification, failure attribution, and targeted prompt repair. All improvements are implemented without modifying model weights and have been empirically validated across four open-source MLLMs of varying scales, demonstrating both methodological innovation and practical engineering utility.
