I built HedgeDB, a high-performance and persisted Key Value store
Hello fellow people from r/databasedevelopment, after many months of late-night experiments, I'm happy to share with you the first version of HedgeDB, a high performance and persisted Key Value store, (freely) inspired from RocksDB! The project was born because as I was working with RocksDB, I grew a bit unhappy with its code bloat, and it has a hard time keeping up with modern NVMe device. So I decided to give it a try reinventing the wheel. Here is the repo on GitHub, and also I spent some ...

S3Mem: Structured Spatiotemporal Scene-Event Memory for Long-Horizon Interactive Question Answering
arXiv:2605.28831v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon interactive agents often accumulate large trajectory histories yet still fail to answer questions about earlier events reliably. We argue that the main bottleneck is not context length alone, but the trajectory-to-answer interface of long-term memory. When histories are stored as plain-text chunks and queried with standard retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), systems often retrieve locally relevant but chain-incomplete evidence, e...

Benchmarking Open-Source Safety Guard Models: A Comprehensive Evaluation
arXiv:2605.28830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in safety-critical applications, robust content moderation becomes essential. We present a comprehensive evaluation of 14 open-source safety guard models on a curated benchmark of 79,331 samples spanning 8 NIST AI Risk Framework safety categories. Our benchmark aggregates four diverse datasets (HarmBench, StrongREJECT, RealToxicityPrompts, and BeaverTails), filtered to focus exclusively ...

Aryabhata 2: Scaling Reinforcement Learning for Advanced STEM Reasoning
arXiv:2605.28829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Competitive STEM examinations such as JEE and NEET require multi-step symbolic reasoning, precise numerical computation, and deep conceptual understanding across physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Recent large language models perform strongly on common reasoning benchmarks, yet they remain difficult to deploy at scale, where millions of student doubts demand domain-specific, consistently structured problem solving. We introduce Aryabhata 2,...

Micro-Macro Retrieval: Reducing Long-Form Hallucination in Large Language Models
arXiv:2605.28828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve impressive performance across many tasks but remain prone to hallucination, especially in long-form generation where redundant retrieved contexts and lengthy reasoning chains amplify factual errors. Recent studies highlight a critical phenomenon: the closer key information appears to the model outputs, the higher the factual accuracy. However, existing retrieval-augmented language models (RALMs) lack effecti...

RightNow-Arabic-0.5B-Turbo: An Open Sub-1B Arabic Language Model via Vocabulary Injection and Edge-First Deployment
arXiv:2605.28827v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open Arabic large language models split into two classes: sub-1B multilingual models that treat Arabic as an afterthought (Qwen2.5-0.5B, Falcon-H1-0.5B), and 7B-70B Arabic-specialized models that require a server to run (Jais, AceGPT, ALLaM, SILMA). The one published attempt at a sub-2B Arabic-specialized model, Kuwain-1.5B, never released its weights. We present RightNow-Arabic-0.5B-Turbo, a 518M-parameter Arabic-specialized decoder LLM built ...

From Context Shift to Stylistic Collapse: Why Training Objectives Matter More Than Scale
arXiv:2605.28826v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In modern LLMs, linguistic features function not as stylistic artifacts but as probes of probability mass, allocated under training alignment objectives. Language models trained with contemporary pipelines exhibit severe reshaping of linguistic features, leading to extreme language re-distribution. While previous stylometric analyses explored linguistic differences between AI-generated and human texts, we focus on the reshaping plaguing the LLM...
