Reducing Text Bias in Synthetically Generated MCQAs for VLMs in Autonomous Driving
arXiv:2602.17677v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Multiple Choice Question Answering (MCQA) benchmarks are an established standard for measuring Vision Language Model (VLM) performance in driving tasks. However, we observe the known phenomenon that synthetically generated MCQAs are highly susceptible...
Joint Parameter and State-Space Bayesian Optimization: Using Process Expertise to Accelerate Manufacturing Optimization
arXiv:2602.17679v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful method for optimizing black-box manufacturing processes, but its performance is often limited when dealing with high-dimensional multi-stage systems, where we can observe intermediate outputs. Standard BO model...
BioBridge: Bridging Proteins and Language for Enhanced Biological Reasoning with LLMs
arXiv:2602.17680v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Existing Protein Language Models (PLMs) often suffer from limited adaptability to multiple tasks and exhibit poor generalization across diverse biological contexts. In contrast, general-purpose Large Language Models (LLMs) lack the capability to inter...
LATMiX: Learnable Affine Transformations for Microscaling Quantization of LLMs
arXiv:2602.17681v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Post-training quantization (PTQ) is a widely used approach for reducing the memory and compute costs of large language models (LLMs). Recent studies have shown that applying invertible transformations to activations can significantly improve quantizat...
Duality Models: An Embarrassingly Simple One-step Generation Paradigm
arXiv:2602.17682v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Consistency-based generative models like Shortcut and MeanFlow achieve impressive results via a target-aware design for solving the Probability Flow ODE (PF-ODE). Typically, such methods introduce a target time $r$ alongside the current time $t$ to mo...
Epistemic Traps: Rational Misalignment Driven by Model Misspecification
arXiv:2602.17676v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The rapid deployment of Large Language Models and AI agents across critical societal and technical domains is hindered by persistent behavioral pathologies including sycophancy, hallucination, and strategic deception that resist mitigation via reinfor...
The Token Games: Evaluating Language Model Reasoning with Puzzle Duels

VectifyAI Launches Mafin 2.5 and PageIndex: Achieving 98.7% Financial RAG Accuracy with a New Open-Source Vectorless Tree Indexing.
Building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline is easy; building one that doesn’t hallucinate during a 10-K audit is nearly impossible. For devs in the financial sector, the ‘standard’ vector-based RAG approach—chunking text and hoping for the best—often results in a ‘text soup’ that loses...
The growing size of Large Language Models (LLMs) makes efficient inference challenging, primarily due to the memory demands of the autoregressive Key-Value (KV) cache. Existing eviction or compression methods reduce cost but rely on heuristics, such as recency or past attention scores, which serve o...
Prompt Repetition: The Overlooked Hack for Better LLM Results
Have you ever asked an LLM a question, changed the wording a few times, and still felt the answer wasn’t quite right? If you’ve worked with tools like ChatGPT or Gemini, you’ve probably rewritten prompts, added more context, or used phrases like “be concise” or “think step by step” to improve result...

A New Google AI Research Proposes Deep-Thinking Ratio to Improve LLM Accuracy While Cutting Total Inference Costs by Half
For the last few years, the AI world has followed a simple rule: if you want a Large Language Model (LLM) to solve a harder problem, make its Chain-of-Thought (CoT) longer. But new research from the University of Virginia and Google proves that ‘thinking long’ is not the same as ‘thinking hard’. The...
