NOSA: Native and Offloadable Sparse Attention

This work proposes NOSA, a trainable sparse attention mechanism natively designed for KV cache offloading that explicitly constrains the volume of CPU-GPU KV transfers, thereby achieving low communication overhead and high decoding throughput.

One Model, Many Morals: Uncovering Cross-Linguistic Misalignments in Computational Moral Reasoning

A controlled multilingual evaluation across six geographically, culturally, and linguistically diverse languages reveals a central disconnect in multilingual moral reasoning: language changes models'moral judgments and the training evidence associated with their reasoning, but does not correspondingly localize the mora...

RooseBERT: A New Deal For Political Language Modelling

This work introduces a novel PLM for political discourse language called RooseBERT, trained on large political debate and speech corpora in English, and fine-tuned it on multiple downstream tasks related to political debate analysis, highlighting how domain-specific pre-training enhances performance in political debate...

Cliff Tokens: Analyzing Failure Trigger Tokens in LLM Mathematical Reasoning

This work introduces the cliff token, a token at which the estimated probability of reaching the correct answer (success probability) drops beyond an adaptive threshold, and introduces a cliff taxonomy of deterministic, uncertain, and sampled-off cliffs, defined by greedy choice and token entropy.

AgentCL: Toward Rigorous Evaluation of Continual Learning in Language Agents

An evaluation framework AgentCL for continual learning in agents is presented, centered on distinguishable task streams and metrics for CL properties, and MemProbe is developed, a probing method that stores interactions, insights, and skills while filtering unreliable experiences during consolidation.

Context Pruning for Coding Agents via Multi-Rubric Latent Reasoning

LLM-powered coding agents spend the majority of their token budget reading repository files, yet much of the retrieved code is irrelevant to the task at hand. Existing learned pruners compress this context with a single-objective sequence labeler, collapsing all facets of code relevance into one score and one transitio...

How Deep Can LLMs Learn to Reason? Expressiveness Is Key

ScaleLogic is introduced, a synthetic logical reasoning framework that offers independent control over two axes of difficulty: the depth of the required proof planning and the expressiveness of the underlying formal system.

Hindsight Compacts but Does Not Repair: Rethinking On-Policy Self-Distillation in Reasoning Models

It is hypothesized that in long traces, hindsight reveals which steps were unnecessary more readily than which steps would have repaired the solution, and that changing the divergence, enriching or reinjecting the privileged context, and training longer only move OPSD along the same accuracy-length tradeoff.

BALAR : A Bayesian Agentic Loop for Active Reasoning

BALAR (Bayesian Agentic Loop for Active Reasoning), a task-agnostic outer-loop algorithm that requires no fine-tuning and enables multi-turn interaction between an LLM agent and a user, is proposed.

Acceptance Dynamics Across Cognitive Domains in Speculative Decoding

It is found that task type is a stronger predictor of acceptance than tree depth, and chat produces the highest entropy yet the highest acceptance rate, which has direct implications for domain-aware speculation budgets and draft-model selection strategies.

MMORF: A Multi-agent Framework for Designing Multi-objective Retrosynthesis Planning Systems

MMORF is presented, a framework for constructing language model-based multi-agent systems (MAS) for multi-objective retrosynthesis planning that achieves strong safety and cost metrics on soft-constraint tasks, frequently Pareto-dominating baseline routes, and outperforming state-of-the-art baselines.

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.
