This dataset defines a new basis for reproducible and data-driven AI design, advancing the emerging paradigm of LLM-driven AutoML and architectural generalization across modalities and hardware.

Abstract

Existing NAS benchmarks (e.g., NAS-Bench, NATS-Bench) cover only narrow, task-specific regions of the architectural design space and lack cross-domain or deployment-aware evaluation. LEMUR 2 introduces a large-scale, extensible framework unifying generative, evaluative, and deployment pipelines to unlock neural-network diversity. It comprises over 14,000 distinct architectures and more than 750,000 structured training records documenting model performance, hyperparameters, and task outcomes. These models were produced through AST-based code mutation, genetic and reinforcement-learning evolution, generation of fractal architectures, and synthesis guided by a Large Language Model (LLM). This includes deep models generated with the retrieval-augmented system NN-RAG, which derived and used architectural motifs from over 900 PyTorch modules extracted from public repositories. LEMUR 2 further employs NN-VR and NN-Lite pipelines for automated deployment and latency benchmarking on heterogeneous mobile and Unity-based VR platforms, providing real-device performance metadata. It spans multimodal tasks, image captioning, text-to-image synthesis, and language modeling, supporting cross-domain analysis of architectural transferability. By linking diverse architectures, tasks, and deployment data, LEMUR 2 provides the data foundation for LLM fine-tuning and coupling diverse architectural origins with large-scale, cross-platform empirical validation. This dataset defines a new basis for reproducible and data-driven AI design, advancing the emerging paradigm of LLM-driven AutoML and architectural generalization across modalities and hardware.

Agentic Neural Architecture Search

This work proposes a mechanism that bridges these two paradigms: an LLM produces a high-quality seed architecture, then decomposes it into a "slotted architecture", a scaffold with named, interchangeable module slots that automatically defines a bounded, task-specific search space for conventional NAS to explore, without manual engineering.

DeepSeek-V3: Architecture and Optimizations-A Practical Review

The design of transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) is being radically changed through new architectures that are able to overcome scalability limitations of previous designs, including Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA), and Multi-Token Prediction (MTP). As an open-weighted model released at the end of 2024, which has both state of the art architectural transparency and production scale efficiency, DeepSeeek-V3 represents the ultimate testing ground for investigating these modern technologies. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the architectural structure of DeepSeek-V3 based upon information from the DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report, industry benchmarking data and independent latency testing, to demonstrate how various techniques can be used to optimize training while still providing competitive performance in code generation and mathematical reasoning. In addition, latency testing conducted on a Distilled version of DeepSeek-V3, with approximately 14 billion parameters, running on a T4 GPU, reveals that although significant improvements have been made in optimizing latency there remains substantial barriers to deploying these models. Through this context, this research will serve as a reference document for practitioners and researchers who wish to understand current trends and challenges in increasing accessibility to high performance AI models.

OmniOData: Unleashing Small Language Models for OData Query Generation with Synthetic Data and Reinforcement Learning

Despite the success of Large Language Models (LLMs) in structured query generation, OData—a critical RESTful protocol for enterprise APIs—remains under-researched due to a lack of high-fidelity, execution-validated datasets. To bridge this gap, we introduce O M - NI OD ATA , a framework that generates S YN O-D ATA , the first large-scale OData corpus featuring execution-grounded queries and reasoning traces. Using this corpus, we develop O MNI OD ATA -R1 (1.5B–3B parameters), a family of models that match or surpass frontier proprietary systems, such as GPT-4o and Gemini 3, on realistic industrial benchmarks. Our results demonstrate that the synergy of execution-verified synthetic data and Reinforcement Learning (RL) effectively unlocks the latent reasoning of Small Language Models (SLMs), providing a high-performance, low-latency solution for specialized enterprise query generation. The code and data will be released under an open-source license.
