WeAct: Dynamic Weight Switching as Agent Actions

Long-horizon agents must learn heterogeneous capabilities from interleaved trajectories. Updating shared parameters to learn new capabilities can degrade previously acquired ones, resulting in catastrophic forgetting. As a trajectory unfolds, different stages may require different capabilities, yet conventional joint t...

Stable Signer V3: 4D Deformable Primitive Splatting Is All You Need for Sign Language Production

We present Stable Signer V3, an interactive high-resolution sign language avatar system built on 4D Deformable Primitive Splatting. It addresses three limitations of existing avatars: restricted facial expression, inaccurate identity-specific body deformation, and loss of fine appearance details. Shared Face Primitive...

Muse Glimmer 30B: An On-Device Agentic Model

We introduce Muse Glimmer, an open-source 30B parameter causal language model with perception encoder, purpose-built for autonomous agentic tasks on consumer hardware. Muse Glimmer integrates multi-step reasoning, reliable tool use and failure recovery into a single model that runs locally on consumer devices without r...

DECODEM: Data Extraction from Corporate Organizational Documents via Enhanced Methods

Much empirical legal research depends on translating unstructured text into structured variables. In corporate governance research as elsewhere, this translation has traditionally been performed by humans. Manual coding is time-consuming and costly. In corporate governance research, standardized commercial datasets off...

Probe, Don't Prompt: A Hidden-State Probe for Metadata Filtering in Multi-Meta-RAG

Multi-Meta-RAG improves retrieval for multi-hop question answering by filtering a vector store on metadata, specifically the news source and the publication date, which it extracts from each query using GPT-3.5. This extractor requires a proprietary API call for every query, and its output is not restricted to the allo...

Same Evidence, Different Answers: Canonical-Context On-Policy Distillation for Multi-Turn Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) often solve a task when all instructions are given in a single prompt, but fail when the same information is revealed gradually across turns. When a clean FULL prompt and a RAW-SHARDED conversation contain the same complete user evidence, the model should still arrive at the same answer. We...

What a One-Hour Interview Does Not Tell an LLM About You: Interviews Elicit Traits, Not Decision Policies

Large language models are increasingly asked to stand in for particular people, and interviewing the person is the natural way to tell a model who they are. We test what a one-hour LLM-led adaptive interview tells a model about an individual's value-laden decisions. 46 adults completed such an interview and then answer...

Dynamic Model Merging Made Slim

DiDi-Merging is proposed, which jointly allocates low-rank capacity to these components through differentiable rank selection, followed by data-free parameter-space refinement, followed by data-free parameter-space refinement.

Abstract Compression of Conversational Audio Context for LLM-based ASR

Standard LLM-based speech recognition systems process utterances in isolation, limiting their ability to leverage conversational context. Here we study whether multimodal context from prior turns improves LLM-based ASR and how to represent that context efficiently. We find that, after supervised multi-turn training, co...

Detection Is Cheap, Routing Is Learned: Why Refusal-Based Alignment Evaluation Fails

Current alignment evaluation mostly measures whether models encode dangerous concepts and whether they refuse harmful requests. Both miss the layer where alignment often operates: routing from concept detection to behavioral policy. We study political censorship in Chinese-origin language models as a natural experiment...

CHIMERA: Compact Synthetic Data for Generalizable LLM Reasoning

Large Language Models (LLMs) have exhibited remarkable reasoning capabilities, largely enabled by supervised fine-tuning (SFT)- and reinforcement learning (RL)-based post-training on high-quality reasoning data. However, reproducing and extending these capabilities in open and scalable settings is hindered by three dat...

TTCS: Test-Time Curriculum Synthesis for Self-Evolving

Test-Time Training offers a promising way to improve the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs) by adapting the model using only the test questions. However, existing methods struggle with difficult reasoning problems for two reasons: raw test questions are often too difficult to yield high-quality pseudo-la...

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.
