Mnemon: Raw Records, Fast Judgments, Slow Thoughts

It is argued that the work of memory divides, as thinking does, into two systems: long-term memory and reasoning model answering, and Mnemon, a memory agent built on this division.

Causal and Interpretable Structures in LLM Compositional Tasks

This work studies activations from ensembles of prompts that require inferring relationships between three tokens corresponding to a cyclic concept to correctly predict the next token and finds a consistent layerwise progression in how the joint dependence among the tokens is geometrically organized and causally used.

CruxBench: A Benchmark of Information Discovery

CruxBench is introduced, a benchmark that grades LLM-generated questions by their Value of Information (VOI): how much a model-proposed crux updates beliefs about a target forecasting question and finds that VOI correlates highly with independent measures of model capability and captures cruxes'usefulness for answering...

PACT: Pairwise-Anchored Calibrated Tuning for Single-Token Typed Decisions

PACT is proposed, which turns this structure into four training terms that need no new annotation: a difference-in-differences margin over each pair that is invariant to any shared logit offset, a permutation-consistency term against answer-code position bias, an evidence-necessity term on certificate-verified ablated...

$\tau$-Multilingual: Benchmarking Voice Agents Across Languages

Across 4,500 full-duplex calls and five voice configurations, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi remain within 3.2 task-completion points of English, but Korean and Mandarin fall by 14.7 and 8.4 points, respectively.

Less Uniform Discrete Diffusion is More Powerful and Scalable

Although uniform diffusion language models (UDLMs) represent a promising diffusion paradigm, scaling them remains challenging. We identify the core obstacle as an over-uniform training objective and condition-target confusion during sampling. To address these, we propose Less Uniform Diffusion (LUDI), a novel UDLM fram...

PrimeSeeker: Capability-Oriented Supervision for Deep Search Agents

Large language model search agents are often trained with synthetic questions whose difficulty is increased through larger evidence graphs, additional hops, and longer trajectories. These global properties, however, are only indirect proxies for the local retrieval capabilities required during search. To address this m...

How to Run Statistics over LLM Judges and Trust the Results: Calibrated Inference for Small-Sample AI Evaluation with evalstats

To help researchers understand how to run statistics over LLM judges responsibly, guidance and tooling for the statistical analysis of mixed human-AI judge designs are presented, and recommendations for what CI, p-value, and FWER correction methods to use for small-sample AI evaluations are derived, and researchers are...

Constructing Challenging Browser-Use Tasks by Controlled Environment Interventions

This paper evaluates six strong browser-use agents, three GUI-only agents that see only screenshots, and humans, evaluating the construction of challenging instances from tasks agents already solve, turning difficulty into a programmable property of the environment.

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.
