History Before Models: labelled history, small language models and cascades for request classification on local hardware

A measured study and reproducible toolkit. On 4,500 crowdsourced requests routed to 10 departments, a text classifier trained on 15,000 labelled past requests answers 95.9% correctly, against 86.6% for a 7.6B-parameter local language model; cascades of models alone cost more than the large model; the language model ear...

Replication package for "When Is Smaller Cheaper? Break-Even Tests for Large Language Model Cascades on a Metered Cloud Inference Service

Collected model traces, analysis harness, collection scripts and article source behind every number, table and figure in the article. Running reproduce.sh regenerates them offline. Version 2 accompanies the Journal of Cloud Computing submission and corrects the savings ceiling (Proposition 2) and the answer grader; ver...

Preparing Future Outstanding Engineers: Multidimensional Structure and Associated Factors of Core Competence

Preparing engineers for rapidly changing sociotechnical environments requires a clear account of the competencies that undergraduate engineering programs should foster. This study used the term future outstanding engineers to refer to engineering undergraduates being prepared for engineering excellence and examined the...

Effectiveness of AI-Assisted Screening Tools for Depression and Anxiety in Primary Care: A Systematic Review

Clinically, AI-assisted interventions were associated with higher depression remission and better anxiety outcomes than treatment-as-usual in individual trials and key challenges included limited external validation, demographic homogeneity, and insufficient reporting on ethical safeguards.

A Geometric and Metric-Measure Framework for the Yang–Mills Mass Gap

This paper studies the Gribov–Zwanziger formulation of Yang–Mills theory as a metric-measure problem and separates what is proved from what is assumed. It does not solve the Yang–Mills existence and mass gap problem. The mass-gap result is conditional only: it holds if (i) regularized ground-state measures on the Gribo...

End-to-end decision latency of a confidence-gated Laya–phi4 cascade on one consumer GPU

A small, fast text classifier can answer the easy cases itself and pass only the uncertain ones to a large language model. Version 1.0 of this work estimated how much time such a two-stage setup saves; this version measures it while both models run on one consumer graphics card. The two-stage setup made the average dec...

How Much Junk Do Rules Catch? Evaluating and Tuning pygarble, a Dependency-Free Gibberish Screener, on Survey Responses and Social-Media Text

Text that reaches a language model, a survey database or a training corpus is not always text. Keyboard mashing, random strings and placeholder answers are common, and the usual detectors for them are either trained classifiers with model downloads or hand-written rules that are rarely measured. pygarble is a Python li...

X-Star: Endogenous Continuous Plasticity and Commutative Latent Deliberation for Compact Neural Architectures

Small language models (<= 3B parameters) are severely constrained by parameter capacity, autoregressive order bias, and catastrophic forgetting during continuous adaptation. While existing System-2 approaches rely on expensive external scaffolding (e.g., tree-search verifiers and multi-agent coordination), they introdu...

Explainable Large Language Model for Intelligent Decision Support in Complex Domain

Despite showing great skills in working with unstructured data and generating appropriate answers, large language models (LLMs) cannot be applied in critical settings due to their lack of transparency and susceptibility to hallucination. The paper describes an approach to creating explainable LLM-based decision support...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
