LLM Router: Prefill is All You Need
arXiv:2603.20895v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs often share comparable benchmark accuracies, but their complementary performance across task subsets suggests that an Oracle router--a theoretical selector with perfect foresight--can significantly surpass standalone model accuracy by navigating model-specific strengths. While current routers...
User Preference Modeling for Conversational LLM Agents: Weak Rewards from Retrieval-Augmented Interaction
arXiv:2603.20939v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly used as personal assistants, yet most lack a persistent user model, forcing users to repeatedly restate preferences across sessions.
