It is concluded that consistency under reordering can be optimized without improving the moral judgment it is meant to signal: consistency under reordering can be optimized without improving the moral judgment it is meant to signal.
Training Arabic large language models faces challenges from noisy web data, dialectal variation, and the high cost of continual pretraining (CPT). We introduce AQL-Lite (AQL: Arabic Quality Language), a time- and resource-efficient framework for adapting a multilingual LLM to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). AQL-Lite coup...
Nonlinear recurrent networks remain useful for streaming sequence modeling, yet gated cell design is still dominated by LSTM and GRU. We study whether recurrent computation can be reallocated away from gate transforms and toward candidate generation. We propose baseVultra, a compact recurrent cell that concentrates the...
Wrong automatic routing of an IT support ticket can cost more than human triage. We evaluate cost-aware abstention as an offline, cost-conditional readiness assessment: select a routing policy on calibration data under explicit costs, then evaluate that frozen policy once on held-out test data. On a public 47,837-ticke...

\emph{Continuous-space} attacks find prompts that trigger malicious behaviors, such as overthinking, in black-box LLMs by sampling or optimizing over a low-dimensional Gaussian latent space and decoding it to text through a \emph{random mapping} and nearest-token lookup. Because the random mapping is not learned from l...
Given an unseen graph, a start node, $s$, and an end node, $t$, can a language model generate the shortest path from $s$ to $t$? Prior work has found that models fail to learn this task as the graphs scale. We show that this failure has two causes: the supervision signal and the tokenization. First, we theoretically es...
Vector quantization (VQ), in particular lattice-based methods, offer strong rate-distortion trade-offs for low-bit large language models (LLMs), yet their behavior under quantization-aware training (VQ-QAT) remains poorly understood. We scale lattice VQ-QAT to billion-parameter LLMs and multi-billion-token training reg...
Reinforcement learning (RL) is credited with teaching reasoning models to write {wait} before reconsidering a step, yet large RL accuracy gains do not require the word. This view can confuse what RL discovers with what a model inherits from its training data. We trace the word through open models'training histories, re...
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) improves reasoning by training a model on its own trajectories with dense token-level supervision from a privileged copy conditioned on a reference solution. Existing methods typically use a single teacher distribution conditioned on the complete reference. We identify a limitation of...
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) were originally motivated by discovering monosemantic features, a property that characterizes individual features but does not specify what the learned feature set should look like as a whole. As SAEs have increasingly been adopted for attribution, circuit discovery, and intervention, researc...
Activation probes are computed directions in a language model's residual stream, used both to detect safety-relevant behaviours and, by adding their direction back into the stream, to steer them, which power an interactive interface through which a user can score and steer text directly.
Beyond basic tool use and coding skills, effectively incorporating visual references into agentic generation is equally essential for applying AI agents to real-world productivity tasks. We study this crucial capability through webpage development, a practical and readily evaluable setting in which existing benchmarks...

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
A new computational approach reveals how cells communicate to assemble into tissues. This could accelerate stem cell engineering, improve disease models, and inform therapies.
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.
