We evaluate how good large language model (LLM) judges are for personalized writing tasks. This is important when a user’s preferred writing style is known (e.g., “upbeat”) and an LLM judge is used to evaluate whether generated text adheres to this preference. We examine how the writing task, the combination of generator and judge LLM, the evaluation objective,…

State Space Models (SSMs) have emerged as a compelling alternative to Transformers, enabling sequence modeling with constant memory and linear compute. Although SSMs exhibit reasonable performance and favorable computational characteristics, they continue to lag behind Transformers on tasks that require in-context learning and precise retrieval, slowing their adoption for large-scale language modeling. In this work, we demonstrate that both the…
