1. **[VILA: On Pre-training for Visual Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lin-2023-vila-pre-training-visual-language/)** *(2023 · 381 citations)* Most work on visual language models (VLMs) has focused on instruction tuning. The pre-training stage, where an LLM first learns to handle images and text together, has received far less systematic study. This paper addresses that gap. Starting from Llama-2, the authors build auto-regressive VLMs, in which image…
2. **[Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/belcak-2025-small-language-models-future-agentic/)** *(2025 · 92 citations)* This position paper from NVIDIA Research and Georgia Tech challenges a common industry practice: sending every request an AI agent makes to one large, general-purpose LLM hosted in the cloud.
3. **[PROBE: PROcess-Based BEnchmark for Hallucination Detection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-probe-process-based-benchmark-hallucination/)** *(2026)* LLM-as-a-judge setups usually ask a model for a single verdict on whether an output stays faithful to its source.
