Can Agents Design Libraries for Agents?

LibraryDesignBench is introduced, a two-phase benchmark in which an agent implements a full-featured library from a specification that defines required capabilities and potential use cases without prescribing the design.

Transformers Stop Thinking Too Early, and a Tiny LoRA Fixes It

Pretrained transformers use little of their depth to follow references in context. Thirteen base models reliably follow only 1.4-3.6 lines, and extra pretrained loops add little. A task-trained rank-8 LoRA at one early layer extends this computation with all model weights frozen. Qwen3-8B improves from 15.5% to 99% exa...

OTROPE: Optimal Transport-based Robust Off-policy Evaluation for Large Language Models

The Optimal Transport-based Robust Off-Policy Evaluation (OTROPE) is proposed, a likelihood-free evaluation that performs distributional correction in a semantic space via optimal transport to align labeled behavior-policy samples with unlabeled target-policy samples, yielding a doubly robust-style evaluation.

Principled Thoughts for Latent Recursive LLM Systems

REST (REpresentation-Supervised Thoughts), a training objective that turns four properties of a valid thought representation into differentiable losses added to CE, instantiate in latent single-agent and multi-agent systems, without architectural changes or added parameters at inference.

GeoOutageBench: Benchmarking Ambiguity-aware, Ontology-grounded Geospatiotemporal KGQA for Multimodal Power Outage and Resilience Analysis

GeoOutageBench provides a design principle and foundation for assessing LLM-KG systems that support real-world infrastructure resilience analysis and provides user-configurable evaluation of three important, highly coherent yet less studied tasks.

The Price of Token Boundaries: Compression Certificates and Prediction

This work quantifies the compression cost of boundaries while separating it from the prediction quality of the resulting token units, and introduces boundary licences, which limit the vocabulary entries permitted to cross cuts and admit the same form of certificate.

Neurosymbolic Routing for Reliable Reasoning on Resource-Constrained Edge Devices

This work presents a neurosymbolic router that classifies each incoming query and dispatches it to the cheapest correct solver, sending structured tasks to deterministic engines and reserving the small language model (SLM) for open-ended word problems.

Benchmarking and Exploring the Capabilities of LLMs for Attack Investigations

This paper presents AuditBench, a new benchmark dataset for evaluating the capabilities of LLMs at investigating security-related system audit logs. We design and use this benchmark to explore the performance of LLMs on four log-investigation tasks that incident response teams commonly perform, ranging from triaging al...

SafeLens: Deliberate and Efficient Video Guardrails with Fast-and-Slow Screening

The rapid growth of online video platforms and AI-generated content has made reliable video guardrails a key challenge for safety and real-world deployment. While most videos can be screened through fast pattern recognition, a small subset requires deeper reasoning over temporally complex content and nuanced policy con...

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.
