DySCo: Dynamic Sharding for Collaborative Edge-Cloud LLM Inference with Depth-Synchronized Batching

Pervasive intelligent applications are increasingly deployed on mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices. Consequently, Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to support these applications. Yet, due to their high resource demands, LLMs are mostly deployed in the cloud. Layer-wise edge-cloud inferenc...

Stepped MoE: Segment-Level Routing with Configurable Inference Complexity

Training large language models (LLMs) is resource-intensive, and adapting them for diverse deployment scenarios with varying computational constraints remains challenging. While elastic architectures enable flexible model deployment and sparsely activated models allow input-adaptive computation, existing approaches tre...

Computing at the Edge Enabled by Indoor Photovoltaics and Ferroelectrics

The exponential, pervasive rise of artificial intelligence (AI), hosted in large data centres, will test the limits of the underpinning infrastructure, including electricity and water supplies, which are becoming increasingly precious resources. Rather than performing all AI computations in centralized servers, for man...

Theory of the Edge-of-Chaos Advantage in Quantum Reservoir Computing

Numerical studies suggest that quantum reservoir computing performs optimally near the edge of chaos, a behavior commonly attributed to a balance between memory retention and nonlinear information processing. Here we develop an explicit quantum reservoir model and rigorously analyze its chaotic regime and integrable po...

Counting higher-rank sheaves on toric threefolds

We develop an equivariant K-theoretic vertex formalism for a colored, abelianized higher-rank sector on smooth projective toric threefolds $X$. Nonzero first Chern classes are encoded as magnetic fluxes and absorbed into line-bundle twists, after which the virtual character is redistributed into finite perturbative, ve...

Density Functional Theory for 2D Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides with Extended Hubbard Parameters

Accurate modelling of the band-edge electronic structure of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as MoS$_2$, is essential for understanding their optical, electronic and spintronic properties and enabling future applications. Here, we supplement the standard PBE exchange-correlation functional with on-metal ($...

Beyond LLM Serving: Characterizing Vision-Language-Action Workloads for Embodied AI System Design

This work describes four representative VLA models on an edge GPU server and two onboard SoCs, using single-inference profiling and 43,200 closed-loop episodes, and guides joint design of VLA model architectures, hardware, and runtime policies.

Truly Subquadratic 3SUM and Truly Subcubic APSP via Triangles in Sparse Lopsided Graphs

The first polynomial improvements over the textbook algorithms for 3-SUM and All-Pairs Shortest Paths are given, and the Exact Triangle hypothesis is refuted, and the All-Edges Sparse Triangle problem is solved in truly subquadratic time on sparse lopsided tripartite graphs.

Matching with Multiple Bottlenecks: Parameterized Complexity and Approximation

This paper analyzes a matching problem in which the cost of each edge is a vector with $k$ components and provides various results including FPT-membership for parameters $k$ and $Z$ combined, as well as W[P]-membership and W[SAT]-hardness for each of the two parameters individually.

DIALER: A Case for Improving Rare-Class Accuracy in Retraining-Free Edge Video Analytics

DIALER is designed, a system that exploits the spare compute cycles freed by retraining-free VFM inference to mitigate rare-class misclassifications and improves rare-class accuracy by up to 14.0% without interfering with real-time VFM inference for multi-stream analytics.

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
