Buddy System: Rust entropy monitor with NER-gated uncertainty for tiered LLM inference

The Buddy System uses a Rust entropy monitor to detect per-token uncertainty in local Gemma 3 4B inference, routing only uncertain tokens to Sonnet via NER-gated span extraction and semantic retrieval. Benchmarks show it achieves 71.4% accuracy at $0.21, outperforming the Anthropic Advisor pattern (62.9% at $0.44) across seven Hugging Face datasets, with a key improvement on SQuAD v2 by routing source passage chunks to the cloud model.

UltraQuant: 4-bit KV Caching for Context-Heavy Agents

UltraQuant enables 4-bit KV caching for context-heavy agents, reducing P50 time-to-first-token by 3.47x in late rounds and boosting output throughput by 1.63x over FP8 KV baseline. It achieves this using FP8 queries, FP4 KV tensors, UE8M0 group scales, and native scaled-MFMA on AMD CDNA4 GPUs, with optimizations for decode-attention kernels and robust design choices like asymmetric K/V treatment and Walsh-Hadamard rotation.

User as Engram: Local Parametric Edits for Personal Memory

User as Engram proposes storing per-user facts as surgical, hash-keyed edits to a memory table, leaving reasoning in a shared adapter. This design achieves 5.6x higher indirect-reasoning accuracy and maintains base-level reasoning performance, with a memory footprint 33,000x smaller than per-user LoRA. The approach enables disjoint user edits that compose losslessly, outperforming retrieval pipelines beyond 100 facts.

NoiseTilt: Noise-Tilted Reverse Kernels for Diffusion Reward Alignment

NoiseTilt introduces NTRK, a reward-guided diffusion sampler that injects reward gradients via the noise term without altering the reverse kernel. By using a whitening operator, NTRK safely biases noise toward high reward, preserving sample quality while maintaining strong guidance. On aesthetic generation, NTRK achieves superior reward performance with 25 NFEs, reducing compute by 20× compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

BinTrack: Open-Source Spatial QA with Binary Trajectory Search

BinTrack is a fully open-source spatial question answering agent that uses binary search over a robot's trajectory to locate answers. It achieves up to 22.8% higher accuracy than other open-source methods and matches closed-source model performance on the most challenging global category of the SpaceLocQA benchmark. The system also offers over 1.5x faster inference and introduces GangnamLoop, a real-world outdoor benchmark collected with a quadruped robot.

Fixing Long-Context Decode Cliff on Radeon R9700 with vLLM 0.22.1

A long-context decode performance cliff on AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 (RDNA4) was resolved by enabling AITER Unified Attention in vLLM 0.22.1. The fix involves relaxing a CDNA gate to include RDNA4, disabling other attention backends, and using bf16 KV cache, resulting in significant speedups across all context lengths. FP8 KV is ineffective on this hardware, and the model's native 262K context is fully achievable with bf16, offering ~2.9× concurrency without needing FP8.
