📄 arXiv Papers — cs.AI / cs.LG / cs.CL

(5 papers most relevant to agents / reasoning / LLM training & inference)

Note: the latest submission date in the arXiv index was 09/25; the papers below are the newest available at that point, not strictly 24h content.

Learning to Stop without Learning to Stop: Self-Supervised Confidence Training Improves Reasoning Efficiency | cs.AI | Parsa Hosseini, Akasha Tigalappanavara Reasoning models generate overlong chains of thought with huge inference cost; existing approaches mostly do early stopping at inference time, whereas this paper uses self-supervised confidence training to let the model learn when to stop.
New LoRA Skills Should Read but Never Write | cs.LG | Zeyan Li, Panqi Yang LoRA makes single-task fine-tuning cheap, but merging multiple independently trained adapters into the same model remains hard — the paper proposes "new skills read-only, never write" for merge conflicts.
Compact Documentation for Coding Agents: A Benchmark, an Optimizer, and Why It Does Not Transfer | cs.SE | Md Shohel Arman, Igor Molybog Systematically tests whether natural-language docs really help coding agents locate and fix software problems, providing a roundtrip benchmark for building and evaluating docs (conclusion: the benefit doesn't transfer easily).
Multi-agent Scaling Across Disjunctive and Compensatory Tasks | cs.AI | Carolina Fortuna, Blaz Bertalanic Multi-agent LLM systems aren't better just because the team is bigger; the paper characterizes the boundary of scaling gains by task structure (decomposable vs. compensatory).
EAServe: Encode-Aware Disaggregated Serving for Multimodal Large Language Models | cs.DC | Kunxiong Zhu, Zhihao Shu Prefill/Decode disaggregated deployment is already standard for LLM serving, but multimodality adds an Encode stage; this paper proposes an encode-stage-aware disaggregated serving scheme.
