Beyond Static RAG: An Adaptive, Tri-Metric Routing Framework for Efficient Long-Context Inference on Commodity GPUs

Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) on commodity GPUs such as the NVIDIA T4 (16 GB VRAM) exposes a practical failure mode we call the Compression Paradox: neural prompt compression can add key-value (KV) cache contention and preprocessing latency that outweigh generation-time savings, while skipping compression can cause out-of-memory (OOM) failures on long contexts. We identify two distinct failure mechanisms when a vLLM-served LLM and a PyTorch-based...

Pay Only for Disagreement: Certified No-Regression Verdicts for Model Updates with Matching Label-Complexity Bounds

Announce Type: new Abstract: Every production model is updated, by retraining, fine-tuning, quantization, or a silent vendor swap, and each update risks being worse than what it replaced. We formalize update promotion as certified paired risk-difference auditing. Our starting point is a support identity: the risk difference between two models lives on the inputs where they disagree, observable without labels.
