Large Language Model (LLM) routing has demonstrated strong capability in balancing response quality with computational cost. As users exhibit diverse preferences, personalization has attracted increasing attention in LLM routing, since even identical queries may require different models to generate responses tailored to individual needs. However, existing approaches are not fully personalized and often fail to faithfully capture the complex interactions between users and LLMs. Moreover, user preference data is typically scarce and inconsistent in format, which limits the effectiveness of methods that directly leverage user-specific data. To address these challenges, we propose GMTRouter, which represents multi-turn user–LLM interactions as a heterogeneous graph with five node types: user, LLM, query, response and turn, thereby maximally preserving the rich relational structure of the interaction. Through a lightweight inductive graph learning framework combined with a tailored user-conditioned graph sampling mechanism, GMTRouter learns to capture user preferences from few-shot data, enabling effective personalization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GMTRouter outperforms the strongest baselines, achieving up to a 0.108 absolute improvement in accuracy and a 0.124 improvement in AUC. More importantly, we further demonstrate that GMTRouter can adapt to new users using only few-shot data, without extensive fine-tuning.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has demonstrated significant potential in enhancing the capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, the success of RL for LLMs heavily relies on human-curated datasets, which pose a burden on scalability and sustainability. Inspired by the success of the paradigm in games and Go, Self-Play methods are deployed to enhance LLM capabilities without human-annotated data. However, these methods primarily depend on a grounded environment for verifiable feedback (e.g., a Python interpreter or a game engine); extending them to general domains remains challenging. To address these challenges, we propose **Multi-Agent Evolve (MAE)**, a framework in which LLM can self-evolve across diverse tasks from mathematics to general knowledge. MAE implements asymmetric Self-Play by leveraging a triplet of interacting roles (*Proposer, Solver, Judge*) that are instantiated from a single LLM. *Proposer* generates challenging questions, *Solver* optimizes solutions, and *Judge* provides reward signals. These roles are jointly optimized via reinforcement learning, creating a closed-loop system where the model continuously challenges and improves itself. Experiments on Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct demonstrate that MAE achieves an average improvement of 4.86% across multiple benchmarks, significantly outperforming baselines. These results highlight MAE as a scalable, data-efficient method for enhancing LLMs’ general reasoning abilities with minimal reliance on human supervision.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has revitalized Large Language Models (LLMs) by injecting non-parametric factual knowledge. Compared with long-context LLMs, RAG is considered an effective summarization tool in a more concise and lightweight manner, which can interact with LLMs multiple times using diverse queries to get comprehensive responses. However, the LLM-generated historical responses, which contain potentially insightful information, are largely neglected and discarded by existing approaches, leading to suboptimal results. In this paper, we propose graph of records (GoR), which leverages historical responses generated by LLMs to enhance RAG for long-context global summarization. Inspired by the retrieve-then-generate paradigm of RAG, we construct a graph by establishing an edge between the retrieved text chunks and the corresponding LLM-generated response. To further uncover the intricate correlations between them, GoR features a graph neural network and an elaborately designed BERTScore-based objective for self-supervised model training, enabling seamless supervision signal backpropagation between reference summaries and node embeddings. We comprehensively compare GoR with 12 baselines across four long-context summarization datasets, and the results indicate that our proposed method reaches the best performance (e.g., 15%, 8%, and 19% improvement over retrievers w.r.t. Rouge-L, Rouge-1, and Rouge-2 on the WCEP dataset). Extensive experiments further demonstrate the effectiveness of GoR.

As scientific research proliferates, researchers face the daunting task of navigating and reading vast amounts of literature. Existing solutions, such as document QA, fail to provide personalized and up-to-date information efficiently. We present Arxiv Copilot, a self-evolving, efficient LLM system designed to assist researchers, based on thought-retrieval, user profile and high performance optimization. Specifically, Arxiv Copilot can offer personalized research services, maintaining a real-time updated database. Quantitative evaluation demonstrates that Arxiv Copilot saves 69.92% of time after efficient deployment. This paper details the design and implementation of Arxiv Copilot, highlighting its contributions to personalized academic support and its potential to streamline the research process.
