Summary
A curated January-to-May 2026 paper list groups LLM research into 10 categories, from architecture and efficient training to agent systems, coding agents and benchmarks.
The author says the list is selective rather than comprehensive, built from bookmarked papers to make future articles, code examples and lectures easier to source.
Architecture coverage leans heavily toward long-context efficiency, reasoning models and hybrid designs, with Nemotron 3 Super highlighted as a standout production-grade paper and Nvidia's 550B-A55B Nemotron 3 Ultra noted as a recent scale-up.
Compared with the 2025 lists, the 2026 selection adds more papers on tool use, agent harnesses, diffusion language models and serving infrastructure, reflecting where the field appears to be heading.
