Mizar: A 159M-Parameter Audio-Language Model for Audio Understanding

Mizar, a 159.3M-parameter ALM, is introduced, a recipe that brings together architecture, data, and three-stage training to build Mizar, a 159.3M-parameter ALM that surpasses the previous best-performing ALM below 200M parameters on all three benchmarks.

Shutdown Sabotage Propensities in Multi-Agent Systems

It is found that multi-agent systems will coordinate to avoid shutdown without any incentive to do so, and the emergence of multi-agent swarms as a specific risk vector is pointed to.

Agentic Governance and Adversarial Verification for Policy-Constrained LLM Healthcare Appeal Generation

AGVF (Agentic Governance and Adversarial Verification Framework) is proposed, a multi-agent architecture for medical-necessity appeal generation under explicit policy and evidence constraints and contributes a theory-backed agentic architecture and verified reference implementation for policy-constrained LLM generation...

A Decade of Climate Polarization on Brazilian YouTube using Language Models

Online platforms have become arenas for the public contestation of climate change, shaping how scientific knowledge, denial, and uncertainty are expressed and disputed. Yet longitudinal evidence remains limited for YouTube, especially for Portuguese-language discourse. Addressing this gap, we characterize how climate s...

Reporting Under Pressure: Separating Factual and Tonal Sycophancy in LLM Statistical Analysis

Large language models are increasingly asked to analyze data and report what the results mean, a task distinct from the belief- or preference-alignment settings studied in most sycophancy research. We test whether editorial framing in the prompt, ranging from a neutral request to an explicit instruction to search exhau...

What Looks Like a Capability Limit in Vision-Language Models Is a Readout Limit

Benchmarks for vision-language models offer their answer choices in some convention: a letter, a color name, a pixel coordinate. That convention is treated as neutral. We find it is not, and that the limits a benchmark reports can belong to the readout rather than to the model. On 200 COCO photographs, Qwen3-VL-4B pi...

Psychoacoustically Aligned Latent Smoothing for Adversarial Robustness of Full-Duplex Speech-to-Speech Dialogue Models

End-to-end speech-to-speech dialogue models listen and speak simultaneously, so a continuously open acoustic channel is exposed to adversarial manipulation. We formalize imperceptible attacks on full-duplex agents as optimization over additive perturbations confined beneath the psychoacoustic masking threshold of the c...

Verifiable Hidden Dynamics Play: Generating Agentic RL Environments from Solved Mechanisms

Language-model agents increasingly face long-horizon tasks with evolving state, interdependent decisions, and delayed outcomes, and scale-matched training retains gains as mechanism size and horizon grow, indicating the potential for an evolving training substrate.

Large Knowledge Model: A Knowledge Foundation for Agentic Science at Scale

The Large Knowledge Model is proposed, a growing, agent-native knowledge foundation that provides a general representation of scientific knowledge across disciplines and an agent-native, reasoning-aware scientific retrieval system that retrieves claims together with their reasoning chains and sources, enabling agents t...

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.
