With the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs), a large number of benchmarks have been proposed. However, most benchmarks lack unified evaluation standard and require the manual implementation of custom scripts, making results hard to ensure consistency and reproducibility. Furthermore, mainstream evaluation frameworks are centralized, with datasets and answers, which increases the risk of benchmark leakage. To address these issues, we propose a Decentralized Evaluation Protocol (DEP), a decentralized yet unified and standardized evaluation framework through a matching server without constraining benchmarks. The server can be mounted locally or deployed remotely, and once adapted, it can be reused over the long term. By decoupling users, LLMs, and benchmarks, DEP enables modular, plug-and-play evaluation: benchmark files and evaluation logic stay exclusively on the server side. In remote setting, users cannot access the ground truth, thereby achieving data isolation and leak-proof evaluation. To facilitate practical adoption, we develop DEP Toolkit, a protocol-compatible toolkit that supports features such as breakpoint resume, concurrent requests, and congestion control. We also provide detailed documentation for adapting new benchmarks to DEP. Using DEP toolkit, we evaluate multiple LLMs across benchmarks. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of DEP and show that it reduces the cost of deploying benchmark evaluations. As of February 2026, we have adapted over 60 benchmarks and continue to promote community co-construction to support unified evaluation across various tasks and domains.

We propose MatchRDMA, a proactive, segmented, and rate-matched long-haul RDMA scheme for geo-distributed LLM training over OTN. By coordinating source and destination OTN rates, it improves inter-DC throughput by up to 20x compared with conventional RDMA, and reduces destination-OTN buffer occupancy by up to 62.7%.

In this paper, we propose EDIT (Encoder-Decoder Image Transformer), a novel architecture designed to mitigate the attention sink phenomenon observed in Vision Transformer models. Attention sink occurs when an excessive amount of attention is allocated to the [CLS] token, distorting the model's ability to effectively process image patches. To address this, we introduce a layer-aligned encoder-decoder architecture, where the encoder utilizes self-attention to process image patches, while the decoder uses cross-attention to focus on the [CLS] token. Unlike traditional encoder-decoder framework, where the decoder depends solely on high-level encoder representations, EDIT allows the decoder to extract information starting from low-level features, progressively refining the representation layer by layer. EDIT is naturally interpretable demonstrated through sequential attention maps, illustrating the refined, layer-by-layer focus on key image features. Experiments on ImageNet-1k and ImageNet-21k, along with transfer learning tasks, show that EDIT achieves consistent performance improvements over DeiT3 models. These results highlight the effectiveness of EDIT's design in addressing attention sink and improving visual feature extraction.
