Intrigued by the capacity of random networks, we start by proving a max-flow min-cut theorem that is applicable to any random graph obeying a suitably defined independence-in-cut property. We then show that this property is satisfied by…

Modern LLM reasoning relies on extensive test-time computation, driven by internal model training and external agentic orchestration. However, this synergy is often inefficient, as model verbosity and poor instruction following lead to…
