Teams running busy open-source repos should enable triage-role archiving to retire spam, duplicate, and abandoned pull requests, because moderation no longer waits on admins and archived threads stay read-only without extra workflow.

arXiv:2610.08537v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In the field of Explainable AI (XAI), counterfactual (CF) explanations interpret a model's decision by suggesting the changes to the input that would lead to a more favourable outcome. To be useful in practice, such an explanation should change few features and change t

Principled Under Pressure: Post-Training Decides Whether LLMs Act on Their Own Moral Judgment

arXiv:2610.08670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models increasingly act as agents. An agent that says an action is wrong and then takes it anyway is a different failure from one that does not know better, and evaluations of stated values cannot see it.

When Attention Closes: How LLMs Lose the Thread in Multi-Turn Interaction

arXiv:2605.12922v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models can follow complex instructions in a single turn, yet over long multi-turn interactions they often lose the thread of instructions, persona, and rules.
