Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are rapidly advancing clinical diagnosis, yet their adaptation pipelines remain anchored to accuracy-based objectives. Clinical data are heavily class-imbalanced: a constant-majority predictor can score above 90% accuracy while being clinically useless. We therefore evaluate and...

Continuous diffusion language models generate all tokens in parallel, yet high-quality generation can still require hundreds of network evaluations (NFEs). We study how distributional distillation can reduce this cost by exploiting the student's probabilistic token outputs. Our unified formulation connects the student'...

Sampling several answers and keeping the one a verifier scores highest is one of the simplest ways to buy accuracy at test time. Its effect is reported as a scaling curve: accuracy against the number $k$ of sampled answers. The curve is cheap to draw and expensive to trust. A budget read off it is chosen after looking...
Modern transformers pair impressive capabilities with substantial memory and compute demands. Low-rank weight factorization reduces both while keeping the matrices dense, and thus efficient on standard hardware. Existing methods, however, choose the subspace to remove from each weight matrix with local closed-form crit...

Low-Rank Adaptive Residual Connections (LARC) give a frozen model a compact numerical state that can learn from feedback. The map $h+BAh$ adds a low-rank correction to a hidden representation. A slow state $\rho$ learns starting factors across tasks; a private fast state $\Phi$ copies them, changes with feedback, and r...
Long-context failures of RoPE-based language models can arise from RoPE's intrinsic tradeoff between maintaining stable token preferences and distinguishing nearby positions. Determining which weakness to address, and how, requires a more precise characterization of RoPE's behavior in trained models across context leng...
Typed decision models such as Jev offer an efficient alternative to generative LLMs in decision-making workflows by selecting directly from predefined options. When candidate sets contain no valid answer, TypeSafe recommends including an "other" or "none-of-the-above" option to enable rejection. In this report, however...
Looped models reason by applying the same block of weights many times, so compressing that block saves memory traffic on every loop. Compressed looped models, however, often collapse, and the collapse is usually blamed on rounding error that accumulates from loop to loop. In this work we test that account on more than...

Knowledge distillation can transfer reasoning from stronger teachers to frozen students through reusable prompts, but avoiding weight updates does not eliminate supervision. Without ground-truth answers, teacher solutions are unverified, and agreement with the teacher can reward shared mistakes. We introduce Knowledge-...

Next-token prediction has driven remarkable progress in large language models, yet a growing body of evidence suggests that they can struggle on problems governed by complex global constraints. In this work, we focus on this regime and ask whether some of these limitations arise from the inference interface induced by...

Large language model (LLM) chatbots are increasingly used to answer clinical questions with citations to relevant studies, yet the quality of retrieved evidence and factors influencing study selection remain unclear. We evaluated three general-purpose LLM chatbots (Claude Sonnet 5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and ChatGPT GPT-5.5)...

Computer-use agents turn vision-language model (VLM) predictions into executable GUI clicks, so reliable uncertainty estimates are essential for rejection, calibration, miss-severity ranking, and spatial safety regions. Yet evidence on post-hoc uncertainty quantification (UQ) for these agents is fragmented across isola...

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.
