The African Language Tax: Quantifying the Cost, Latency, and Context Penalty of Tokenizing African Languages in Frontier LLMs
A study quantifies the structural tokenization penalty faced by African languages in commercial large language models, revealing that speakers pay higher costs and experience greater latency due to inefficient subword token assignment. Across 20 African languages and 11 frontier tokenizers, every tested language incurs a premium over English, with median costs reaching 1.88 times that of English and up to 8.92 times for N'Ko script.
CompressKV: Semantic-Retrieval-Guided KV-Cache Compression for Resource-Efficient Long-Context LLM Inference
The authors propose CompressKV, a framework that compresses key-value caches in GQA-based large language models by identifying semantic retrieval heads to retain critical tokens. This approach addresses the performance degradation caused by existing heuristic eviction methods that ignore the distinct functionalities of attention heads.

Ask an AI expert: What exactly is the full stack?
A Google expert explains the concept of taking a full-stack approach to artificial intelligence. The article highlights that this comprehensive methodology has served as the foundation for Google's AI work for an extended period.
The Latent Bridge: A Continuous Slow-Fast Channel for Real-Time Game Agents
This article introduces a continuous Latent Bridge that couples frozen reactive and reasoning vision-language models to enable real-time game agents with millisecond latency and long-horizon planning. By projecting the slow model's residuals into the fast model's input-embedding space, it avoids text round-trips while matching or beating traditional Text Bridges in performance.
G$^3$VLA: Geometric inductive bias for Vision-Language-Action Models
The authors propose G$^3$VLA, a camera-aware geometric module that injects calibrated structure into the visual-token stream of pretrained Vision-Language-Action models without altering their action space or imitation objective. This approach combines intrinsic-conditioned ray embeddings, projective positional encoding, and bidirectional cross-view fusion to address the mismatch between 2D image coordinates and robot camera geometry.
video-SALMONN-R3: Efficient Video Understanding via Reinforcement Learning
The paper introduces video-SALMONN-R$^3$, an end-to-end video large language model that enables efficient re-watching of video segments through reinforcement learning without relying on chain-of-thought data. This approach addresses the computational and memory constraints that typically force models to use reduced frame rates and spatial resolutions.
Adaptive Machine Learning Framework for UAV Trajectory Optimization in O-RAN
This paper introduces a novel framework for optimizing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) trajectories in 6G cellular systems by integrating enhanced continual transfer learning within the O-RAN architecture. The system utilizes a library of pre-trained models and a selection mechanism to minimize adaptation time when operating in dynamic environments.
RetiSEM: Generalising Causal Models for Fragmented Biomedical Data
The authors propose RetiSEM, a domain-constrained structural equation modelling framework designed to recover causal graphs and perform mediation analysis using fragmented biomedical data with limited multimodal resources. The method organizes variables into biologically informed blocks and applies forbidden-edge constraints to decompose pathway-level effects.
Red-Teaming the Agentic Red-Team
This work presents the first in-depth security analysis of widely used agentic systems for offensive security operations, revealing common design flaws that allow adversaries to exfiltrate API keys and compromise operator machines even within sandboxes.
CrossPool: Efficient Multi-LLM Serving for Cold MoE Models through KV-Cache and Weight Disaggregation
CrossPool is a serving engine designed for cold Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models that disaggregates FFN weights and KV-cache into separate GPU memory pools to address memory inefficiencies in sparse request scenarios. By consolidating static weights and dynamically provisioning active KV-cache demand, the system aims to improve GPU memory utilization and support bursty long-context requests.
HuiHui abliterated model outperforms vanilla 3.6-35B-a3b on math and code
A custom quantization recipe applied to the HuiHui abliterated model demonstrates superior performance compared to the vanilla 3.6-35B-a3b variant in mathematics and coding tasks. The results suggest that removing refusal mechanisms allows the model to achieve greater accuracy and wisdom in these domains.
