View sourceConcurrent local LLM serving on unified-memory desktops must preserve memory headroom and output fidelity, which speed-only rankings overlook. We introduce SiliconBench, which evaluates nine Apple Silicon serving engines through three lenses: speed, memory, and fidelity. We evaluate chat and agent serving on Qwen3, Qwen3.5, and Gemma 4. We use a classification task to check for quality regressions against an NVIDIA reference. DGX Spark provides a complementary serving-performance reference. Three desiderata guide interpretation: serving architecture readiness, memory discipline, and multi-node scaling. On Qwen3-0.6B, vllm-metal alone more than doubles throughput on both workloads from concurrency 1 to 16. CUDA vLLM and SGLang show stronger concurrency scaling on the same prompts. Explicit memory budgets do not guarantee memory headroom: two stacks complete every request while memory use approaches physical capacity and throughput declines. The newer model architectures have narrower engine support. Their evaluated implementations match the fidelity reference. Only three stacks satisfy the completion, fidelity, and model-coverage gates. Comparisons on larger dense and MoE models reinforce the importance of scheduling prompt processing alongside ongoing generation: vllm-metal's packed prefill-decode path maintains lower first-token latency than omlx under concurrent load. In the tested two-machine configurations, tensor parallelism over Thunderbolt RDMA scales while pipeline parallelism over TCP regresses. We release benchmark code, per-run results, and maintenance journals, supported by a workflow combining bounded agent fixes with human review.
We introduce the Graph Machine (GM), an architecture that maintains an O(n)-sized state and accesses it through sparse, dynamic routing. Unlike methods with fixed-size states or sparse but static routing, GM preserves O(n) complexity in its sparse layers without restricting the potentially accessible state size to O(1). Instead, GM uses edges - pointer-like objects updated differentiably by a referral mechanism resembling pointer chasing. We replace 75% of the dense Transformer layers in Qwen3-0.6B with GM sparse layers and pretrain from scratch on 15.7B tokens. With only 2 of 4,096 tokens retrieved per KV head in each sparse layer, loss degrades only slightly; with 4, the best model marginally improves loss.
Hard prompt compression reduces long-context inference cost by independently scoring tokens, sentences, or chunks and retaining the highest-scoring units under a budget. We identify a structural failure in this procedure: independent selection can split dependent evidence pairs, retaining one member while deleting the other. When retained text contains an answer but deleted text defines the entity needed to interpret it, we call the result referential dangling. At a compression ratio of 0.30, Beaver, which ranks coherent chunks using Qwen3-0.6B embeddings, leaves the answer path incomplete in 34-54% of bridge examples across three multi-hop question answering datasets. On a shared HotpotQA bridge set, all six hard compressors we test exhibit dangling at rates up to 60%, and every document in LongBench-v2 Single-Document QA contains at least one dangling reference. On dangling examples evaluated with Qwen3-8B, reinserting the missing supporting paragraph while removing nonsupporting paragraphs to maintain the token budget improves accuracy by 29-34 percentage points (p < 0.0001), recovering at least 88% of the gap to contexts retaining both supporting paragraphs. Stronger answer models do not absorb the loss: on MuSiQue, GPT-5.5 is 8.8 points less accurate on compressed contexts than on contexts retaining both supporting paragraphs. Finally, we train a compact classifier to rank omitted sentences by whether they are needed to interpret retained text and reinsert the top-ranked candidates without support annotations at inference. On HotpotQA with Qwen3-8B, this automatic restoration improves accuracy by 4.7 points while changing the compression ratio only from 0.30 to 0.31. Hard compressors should optimize both relevance and referential completeness.
On-policy distillation (OPD) grounds token-level supervision in the student's own trajectory, yet suffers from prefix failure: once the student commits to a wrong reasoning direction, all subsequent generation builds on this deviation, producing misdirected continuations that elicit unreliable supervision and waste compute. We identify a teacher-student continuation asymmetry on failed prefixes, where the teacher tends to redirect while the student continues along the original direction, and convert it into a label-free handoff trigger in Relay On-Policy Distillation (Relay-OPD). During training, Relay-OPD constructs relay trajectories by letting the teacher briefly take over at detected trigger points to produce a teacher leg, after which the student resumes and is optimized on the resulting trajectory. A limited relay budget concentrates intervention on critical early positions while limiting departure from the student policy. With a Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 teacher and Qwen3-0.6B/1.7B-Non-Thinking students on eight mathematical reasoning benchmarks, Relay-OPD achieves the best or second-best results on every benchmark, outperforming standard OPD by +5.73% and the strongest baseline FastOPD by +1.49% on average for 1.7B, with consistent gains at 0.6B. Training trajectory length is reduced by over 50%.
A striking geometric disparity has long persisted in the practice of deep learning. While modern neural network architectures naturally exhibit rich symmetry and equivariance properties, popular optimizers such as Adam and its variants operate inherently coordinate-wise, rendering them unable to respect the equivariance structures of the parameter space. We address this disparity by introducing a symmetry-compatible principle for optimizer design: the gradient update rule should be equivariant under the symmetry group acting on the corresponding weight block. Following this principle, we first provide a unified perspective on bi-orthogonally equivariant updates for general matrix layers, as employed by stochastic spectral descent, Muon, Scion, and polar gradient methods. More importantly, by moving from orthogonal groups to permutation and shared-shift symmetries, we derive symmetry-compatible optimizers for parameter blocks whose symmetries differ from those of general matrix layers: embedding and LM head matrices, SwiGLU MLP projections, and MoE router matrices. These constructions include one-sided spectral, row-norm, hybrid row-norm/spectral, row-aware, column-aware, centered row-norm, and left-spectral updates. They yield an end-to-end layerwise optimizer stack in which each major matrix-valued parameter class is assigned an update whose equivariance matches its symmetry group. We corroborate this principle through pre-training experiments on dense and sparse MoE language models, including Qwen3-0.6B-style, Gemma 3 1B-style, OLMoE-1B-7B-style, and downsized gpt-oss architectures. Across these experiments, symmetry-compatible updates consistently improve final validation loss, and in several cases training stability, over corresponding AdamW updates.
Continual post-training aims to extend large language models (LLMs) with new knowledge, skills, and behaviors, yet it remains unclear when sequential updates enable capability transfer and when they cause catastrophic forgetting. Existing methods mitigate forgetting through sequential fine-tuning, replay, regularization, or model merging, but offer limited criteria for determining when incorporating new updates is beneficial or harmful. In this work, we study LLM continual post-training through three questions: What drives forgetting? When do sequentially acquired capabilities transfer or interfere? How can compatibility be used to control update integration? We address these questions through task geometry: we represent each post-training task by its parameter update and study the covariance geometry induced by the update. Our central finding is that: forgetting can be considered as a state-relative update-integration failure, it arises when the covariance geometries induced by tasks misalign with the geometry of the evolving model state. Sequential updates transfer when they remain compatible with the model state shaped by previous updates, and interfere when state-relative geometry conflict becomes high. Motivated by this finding, we propose Geometry-Conflict Wasserstein Merging (GCWM), a data-free update-integration method that constructs a shared Wasserstein metric via Gaussian Wasserstein barycenters and uses geometry conflict to gate geometry-aware correction. Across Qwen3 0.6B--14B on domain-continual and capability-continual settings, GCWM consistently outperforms data-free baselines, improving retention and final performance without replay data. These results identify geometry conflict as both an explanatory signal for forgetting and a practical control signal for LLM continual post-training.
