Marginal Coverage Credit Reduces Redundant Exploration in Parallel State
arXiv:2608.27507v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Policy Gradient for Parallel State Entropy maximization (PGPSE) expands state-space coverage by training independently parameterized policies in replicated copies of the same environment. However, its pooled team-entropy score measures only collective exploration and cannot identify policies that contribute non-redundant coverage. We introduce Marginal Coverage Credit for PGPSE (MCC-PGPSE), which combines leave-one-policy-out coverage with state-owner specialization to estimate policy-specific credit. MCC-PGPSE preserves PGPSE's pooled objective and redistributes non-negative auxiliary intrinsic rewards according to these credits without changing their total mass. This redistribution is designed to discourage redundant visitation and promote complementary coverage. We evaluated MCC-PGPSE in controlled environments, seven public discrete-state benchmarks, and representative Room and Maze settings from the original PGPSE protocol. Across all testedsource：arXiv
Quantization
arXiv:2608.27512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training quantization is often treated as a semantically neutral optimization for edge deployment of Large Language Models. When a full-precision source checkpoint is evaluated and quantization is applied downstream without equivalent re-evaluation, this workflow creates a structural validation–deployment gap: because quantization is a many-to-one mapping over parameter space, source-precision certification does not guarantee behavioral equivalence in the deployed configuration. We formalize this gap through Quantization Behavioral Equivalence Classes (QBECs) and prove that QBEC membership does not imply behavioral equivalence, providing a theoretical basis for quantization-triggered backdoor attacks. Building on a three-stage adversarial fine-tuning framework, we embed latent malicious payloads into models that satisfy the source-precision checks used in our evaluation, yet activate targeted adversarial behaviorsource：arXiv
DAMP: Decay
arXiv:2608.27513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Softmax attention stores key and value vectors for every preceding token, causing inference memory to grow with sequence length. Recent language models incorporating Gated DeltaNet (GDN) or Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) reduce this cost by replacing the KV cache in most layers with fixed-size recurrent states. However, these recurrent states are commonly stored in FP32 and consume substantial GPU memory; their updates are memory-bandwidth bound and contribute significantly to decoding latency. To our knowledge, we are the first to study post-training quantization of recurrent states in GDN and KDA based language models. We find that uniform quantization provides a poor accuracy–storage trade-off: INT8 and FP8 already degrade accuracy on complex reasoning tasks, while INT4 andsource：arXiv
Previewing the Model Hardware Standard \ Anthropic
Announcements Beneficial Deployments Previewing the Model Hardware Standard Aug 27, 2026 We're opening a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate physical devices, to a first group of scientific research labs and advanced manufacturers. MHS enables AI agents to operate multiple lab and manufacturing instruments, such as microscopes, liquid handlers, and robotic arms, in parallel, and perform intricate tasks ranging from routine drug discovery experiments to laser calibration on a quantum computer. The development of MHS began as a collaboration between Anthropic and HHMI Janelia Research Campus . It typically takes a lab or manufacturing facility weeks, if not months, to set up and integrate their hardware. Most devices don'tsource：Anthropic
