ALMIEYAR is introduced, a culturally grounded ASR benchmark covering 17 Arabic dialects across six families, built entirely from newly recorded speech unseen by existing models, including the first published benchmark for Ahwazi Arabic.

It is shown that persistent sycophancy reduction does not guarantee stronger direct refusal, while identifying recovery under user pressure as a distinct, conditional benefit of training intervention.
A family of chunk-level SAEs that encode mean-pooled activations over chunks, each a contiguous span of tokens: Mean-Chunk reconstructs the observed chunk, Cross-Chunk predicts an independently processed neighbor, and Joint-Chunk combines both targets are introduced.

Moderate-corruption finetuning increases corruption tolerance while simultaneously reducing displacement-normalized linearization error, associating improved robustness with a more nearly linear response to corruption.

CLIMB is introduced, a benchmark in which a doctor model interviews a simulated patient to recover a ground truth set of co-occurring clinical conditions, and a theoretical reference model of single-hypothesis tracking is formalised with a theoretical reference model of single-hypothesis tracking.

Across several reasoning tasks and model families, the proposed frontier learning approach consistently achieves higher relative gains over fixed-pool baselines, demonstrating that effective post-training requires not only selecting useful problems, but continually generating them at the edge of capability.

Constrained decoding can enforce regular or context-free output formats, but many program-generation failures are semantic: scope, typing, and declaration effects depend on context. We present semantic grammar specifications, a declarative formalism that attaches such constraints to a context-free surface and executes...

This work introduces AwarenessBench, the first comprehensive benchmark for assessing the cognitive abilities of LMs in four dimensions: metacognition, self-awareness, social awareness, and situational awareness, covering 15 cognitive functions and 14,381 samples.

This work presents a first study of how hybrid attention impacts the multilinguality of LLMs, showing that cross-lingual representations in hybrid models develop in patterns tied to the ordering of recurrent and full-attention layers.

Coding agents are increasingly deployed for iterative development on real repositories, yet existing evaluation barely answers a basic question: \emph{do coding agents reuse existing code or reinvent the wheel?} The question matters: every duplicated implementation is a fix applied twice and agents produce code far fas...

An expert-driven methodology for constructing such alignment data and applying it to a normative framework grounded in Islamic ethical, theological, and jurisprudential traditions is presented.

Across three model families, two small groups of attention heads are identified with distinct roles in introspective reporting supporting introspective detection and localization of large language models.

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.
