## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Can 1B LLM Surpass 405B LLM? Rethinking Compute-Optimal Test-Time Scaling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2025-1b-llm-surpass-405b-llm/)** *(2025 · 41 citations)* The paper asks how extra inference-time computation should be spent and whether small models can beat much larger ones when it is spent well.
2. **[The Mark Fades: Adaptive Evolutionary Paraphrase-based Attack against LLM Watermarks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2026-mark-fades-adaptive-evolutionary-paraphrase/)** *(2026)* The paper looks at how fragile statistical watermarks in LLM-generated text are when an attacker can only rewrite the text. Existing paraphrase attacks force a trade-off: light rewriting leaves the watermark detectable, while heavy rewriting damages meaning and fluency.
