We present Neurograf v1, an experimental end-to-end Romanian-first language-model pipeline developed to investigate the feasibility of training language models from scratch for a lower-resource European language. The pipeline comprises RoSfera, a 635 GB Romanian corpus containing 175.7 million documents; an 80k byte-le...
If a second text corpus were collected from the same population, how much would a predictor's outputs change? We study this question for masked-text reconstruction using a smoothed predictor built from nearby token-pair counts and evaluated over the full 50,257-token GPT-2 vocabulary. Treating each source document as o...
Predictive-State Flows (PSF) is introduced, which partitions a sequence into blocks and associates each block with a predictive state computed solely from the preceding context, and suggests that latent design for continuous DLMs should consider not only how compactly text is represented, but also how generative roles...

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong results in classical code generation and are increasingly used to write the unit tests that safeguard that code. Whether they can do the same for quantum software is less clear, because quantum programs are probabilistic, depend on numerical tolerances, and are judged by d...

Cross-tokenizer on-policy distillation (OPD) requires aligning teacher and student sequences before their scores can be compared. Decoded-text alignment provides such correspondence at the chunk level, but leaves a distinct problem unresolved: credit alignment. A chunk-level signal specifies how much a span should chan...

Fast rollout generation for long-context reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) requires reducing KV-cache traffic without changing the response groups used for policy optimization. In our profiled RLVR workloads, attention accounts for 72--76\% of autoregressive decoding kernel time. Sparse attention re...

Sequence models with a fixed-size state avoid the quadratic cost of attention, but face a design choice. An input-dependent state transition gives content-dependent memory at the cost of FFT-based training, while a fixed transition keeps the O(T log T) convolutional path but reads memory the same way for every input. R...
Multi-turn tool-use agents must reason, call tools, and adapt to observations across several interaction turns. Post-training such agents is challenging, as reinforcement learning often suffers from sparse rewards and weak credit assignment despite matching the prompt-only inference setting, while supervised fine-tunin...

Objective: To enhance the accuracy, interpretability, and robustness of large language models (LLMs) in medical question answering (MedQA).
Method: We designed a multi-agent peer-reviewed reasoning method in which multiple LLM agents independently generate chain-of-thought reasoning with candidate answers, then act a...
Long-context reasoning tasks have motivated agent-memory approaches that process document chunks sequentially while maintaining a dynamically updated memory, avoiding the quadratic complexity of standard attention. Existing methods often rely on retrieval to recover information discarded during memory overwriting, but...

Training large language models (LLMs) for multi-turn code generation typically relies on online reinforcement learning (RL), in which models learn from repeatedly generated online rollouts. Although effective, online RL can be costly and unstable. In this paper, we present contextual bandit learning with offline trajec...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly under scrutiny for perpetuating identity-based discrimination in high-stakes domains such as hiring, particularly against people with disabilities (PwD). However, existing research remains largely Western-centric, overlooking how intersecting forms of marginalization--such...

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.
