The Last Remote Sensing Model Built by Humans? Casting Any Earth Observation Task as Recursive Self-Improvement

Earth observation (EO) models are still built by hand. For each new task, experts design a training recipe and tune it against a benchmark. We show that this loop can be handed to an agent. Any verifiable task can be cast as a harness and a verifier, where the harness defines what the agent may use and the verifier def...

OmniCompass: A Holistic Benchmark for Omni-Modal Video Grounding and Understanding

With the rapid development of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), evaluating their video understanding capabilities has become increasingly important. Existing video understanding benchmarks cover only part of the evaluation dimensions, limiting systematic diagnosis of omni-modal video understanding. We introduce...

How Safe Is ChatGPT Health Advice? Evidence from Real User Conversations in Four Global South Countries

People increasingly bring their health questions to ChatGPT, yet safety evaluations of LLM health advice rest almost entirely on clinician-authored vignettes, synthetic prompts, or simulated user profiles. The gap is widest for the Global South, where concerns about demographic bias and unsafe recommendations are well...

Pin It on Anyone: Certified Targeted Displacement of Multi-Bit LLM Watermarks Without the Key

Multi-bit watermarking embeds a message, typically an account identifier, into LLM output so that harmful text can be traced to its origin. We show an attack technique that allows to alter the watermarking message. This allows to, for example, exchange the embedded account ID to an arbitrary different one. The attacker...

Jev-Guard: Fast Routing and Auditing Agent Actions over Editable Policy Trees

Agent harnesses require a low-latency guardrail model together with customizable audit policies. However, deploying an auto-regressive guardrail model remains challenging: such models incur high inference latency and are often poorly aligned with customized policies. To address these problems, we present Jev-Guard, a u...

SWE-MISBEHAVIOR: Benchmarking and Mitigating Boundary Violations in Software Coding Agents

We present SWE-MISBEHAVIOR, the first taxonomy and evaluation framework for diagnosing boundary-violating misbehaviors in coding agents. It contains 7.4K human-in-the-loop synthesized samples spanning three layers of agent action space: (i) Code Generation, (ii) File Management, and (iii) System Interaction. Across the...

Fish Audio Drama 3 Technical Report

We introduce Fish Audio Drama 3, an open-source speech generation model that turns text into directed performances, built on a 35B-parameter mixture-of-experts backbone that activates 3B parameters per token. It clones voices from multiple references, follows natural-language direction, revises a take when the next tur...

More Reader Data or a Better Teacher? Updating a Model of Crowd Highlights in Late 2026

A model trained on readers'highlights can show a newcomer where earlier readers converged on a page, even on pages with few readers. A year of stronger language models suggests two upgrades: use them directly, or use them as teachers. We compare both with a third, more reader data, on one social highlighting platform,...

RALI@iKAT 2026: Retrieval-aware User Profile Denoising via Personalized Conversational Dense Retrieval

Modern conversational information access systems continuously extract user information from conversations to build user profiles for personalized retrieval. As user profiles accumulate over time, they inevitably become noisy, making effective user profile denoising a fundamental challenge. Existing personalized convers...

StateHarness: Maintaining Evolving Project State for Long-Horizon Coding Agents

StateHarness is introduced, a runtime framework that maintains evolving project state without updating model parameters and shows that maintaining project state can improve long-horizon coding while introducing measurable execution and regression trade-offs.

Scaling Inference-Time Compute with Teams of Coding Agents

This work builds a minimal multi-agent harness from the ground up and traces this frontier by varying, one at a time, the workflow stage at which a lead delegates to its workers (planning, implementation, or verification), the models that form the team, and the number of workers.

ATTCK-R: Knowledge-Aware Long-Horizon Jailbreaking for Protected LLMs

As large language models are deployed behind increasingly sophisticated safety mechanisms, evaluating their robustness under realistic adversarial conditions becomes increasingly difficult and critical. Existing jailbreaking evaluations often rely on static prompts, limited interaction horizons, or lightly protected sy...

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.
