arXiv:2607.03377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapidly growing repository of publicly available large language models (LLMs) presents significant challenges for systematic management and quantification at scale, such as model lineage tracing, licensing, and evaluation. However, task-specific benchmarks are insufficient for this setting, as LLMs differ widely in architectures, scales, and training procedures. To address this challenge, we adopt spectral shape-based metrics for managing and quantifying LLMs based on Heavy-Tailed Self-Regularization theory. Our approach uses the shape info
The proliferation of various LLMs demands new quantifiable methods for their systematic management and evaluation beyond task-specific benchmarks currently seeing extensive use.
This development offers a novel, scalable approach to understanding and managing the rapidly expanding LLM ecosystem, crucial for issues like lineage, licensing, and standardized evaluation in a data-driven AI landscape.
The ability to use spectral shape-based metrics to characterize LLMs provides a more fundamental and architecture-agnostic method for comparison and governance, moving beyond superficial performance metrics.

Improved methods for tracking LLM origins and ensuring compliance will emerge.
Standardized 'genetic' profiling of LLMs could lead to more efficient model selection and application development across industries.
