Which Quantization Should I Use? A Unified Evaluation of llama.cpp Quantization on Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
arXiv:2601.14277v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Quantization is a practical technique for making large language models easier to deploy by reducing the precision used to store and operate on model weights. This can lower memory use and improve runtime feasibility on constrained hardware, which is e...
VisTIRA: Closing the Image-Text Modality Gap in Visual Math Reasoning via Structured Tool Integration
arXiv:2601.14440v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) lag behind text-only language models on mathematical reasoning when the same problems are presented as images rather than text. We empirically characterize this as a modality gap: the same question in text form yields mar...
On the Generalization Gap in LLM Planning: Tests and Verifier-Reward RL
arXiv:2601.14456v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Recent work shows that fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) can achieve high valid plan rates on PDDL planning tasks. However, it remains unclear whether this reflects transferable planning competence or domain-specific memorization. In this work, ...

Building Multi-Agent Applications with Deep Agents
Breaking down complex tasks across specialized agents is one of the most effective approaches to building capable AI systems. In this post, we'll show you how to build multi-agent systems with Deep Agents.
There are many paths AI evolution could take. On one end of the spectrum, AI is dismissed as a marginal fad, another bubble fueled by notoriety and misallocated capital. On the other end, it’s cast as a dystopian force, destined to eliminate jobs on a large scale and destabilize economies. Markets o...
Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in recent years. From chatbots that answer questions to AI systems that compose music or create art, machines are beginning to mimic some aspects of human intelligence. But one question fascinates scientists, technologists, and the general public alike: Ca...
