RenderRank: Learning to Rerank Text with Compressed Visual Tokens

Rendering document text as images allows vision-language models to encode documents as visual tokens, which can reduce input sequence length compared with text input. This reduction in input length is particularly useful for reranking, where each query involves scoring multiple candidate documents and token savings app...

Refusal Localizes, the Damage Relocates: Safety Layers Under Few-Sample Fine-Tuning

Fine-tuning adapts aligned large language models (LLMs) to downstream tasks, but a few dozen harmful examples can remove their refusal of harmful requests. Prior work localizes safety-related behavior to specific layers, directions, and tokens, suggesting targets for protection. We test whether successful localization...

Distilling Directional Verification

Knowledge distillation aims to transfer the factual knowledge of large language models to smaller models for efficient deployment. Yet a teacher may recall a relation in one direction while failing to generate the answer in the reverse direction. Distillation from its generated answers can therefore propagate this dire...

Where Activation Sparsity and KV-Cache Sparsity Cross in LLM Decoding

A byte crossover is derived, the context length at which the two savings are equal, together with ideal speedup bounds for each branch and for their composition, from model dimensions and keep ratios alone and is derived at https://github.com/js-lee-AI/ByteCross.

DART: Draft-Agreement Routing for Training-Free Adaptive Thinking Budgets in Hybrid Reasoning Models

DART is introduced, a training-free routing framework that samples two cheap no-think drafts, accepts direct answering when the drafts agree, and predicts a thinking budget from draft entropy when they disagree, and preserves or improves always-thinking accuracy in most settings while reducing thinking-token use.

Funnel of Thoughts: Efficient Test-Time Scaling via Early Voting and Rollout Pruning

Funnel of Thoughts (FoT) is introduced, an inference-time method that preserves the full 32-trajectory voted accuracy while halving its attention FLOPs, a 28.8% reduction in full-model inference cost.

LAMAR: An Open Language-Aware Multilingual Alignment Reranker

This work releases LAMAR, a language aware multilingual cross encoder trained to account for both semantic relevance and language coherence, which achieves the best performance overall and across all languages examined individually on general multilingual reranking benchmarks.
