Scaling Clinical Judgment to Evaluate Medical AI

Blinded physician evaluation has been considered by many to be the gold standard for assessing clinical reasoning in large language models (LLMs). This is difficult to scale; thus, prior studies typically rely on small physician panels, often from a single institution or specialty, which both limits the scientific ques...

GTA: Graph Theory Agent and Benchmark for Algorithmic Graph Reasoning with LLMs

The Graph Theory Agent (GTA), which pairs a preference-trained representation selector with plan-and-decompose scaffolding around a frozen executor LLM, is proposed, which lifts Phi-4 from 53.5% to 69.1% on the benchmark's easy split and from 33.0% to 41.5% on its hard split.

Self-Architecting Protein Transformers: An Empirical Study

This work asks whether a self-architecting transformer, which grows its own width and depth from quantitative signals derived from the attention matrices, can extract competitive protein representations from a single reference proteome.

CARE-MoE: Correlation-Aware Expert Placement and Semantic Equivalence Routing for MoE LLM Inference on Edge Devices

CARE-MoE is proposed, an efficient MoE LLM inference framework comprising two core components that balances expert placement by jointly modeling co-activation correlation and hot–cold drift, preventing overload from correlated experts and enabling low-cost adaptive rebalancing.

MIGServe: Layout-Aware Multi-Instance GPU Management for Efficient LLM Serving

MIGServe treats the physical layout of MIG instances as a first-class scheduling dimension through three techniques: buddy-aware partition placement, which preserves large contiguous free blocks by allocating next to existing occupied buddies; proactive pair-matching migration, which consolidates fragmented half-full b...

Edge-Cloud Collaborative RAG with Multi-State Semantic Caching

A Multi-State Semantic Cache (MSSC) framework that dynamically maps knowledge chunks into three mutually exclusive states: zero cache, index cache, and full cache is proposed that reduces average service latency by over 40% in dynamic scenarios and suppresses backhaul reconfiguration traffic by up to 38% compared to co...

Going Faster Makes the Wind Stronger, Which Is Why a Sailing Craft Can Outrun the Wind ── dead downwind the apparent wind reaches 0 the instant the boat matches the wind ── across the wind, a boat doing 50 m/s feels 50.9902 m/s ── same wind, same sail: one is capped and the other is not ── [Paper 390]

A sail is pushed by the wind, so a boat cannot outrun the wind──so it seems. This paper shows that changing only the heading removes the cap──neither the wind nor the sail is altered at all. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──apparent wind, propulsion b...

"Finer Grains Are Stronger" Fails, and Not Because the Theoretical Strength Was Reached ── the prediction at 10 nm, 1550 MPa, is only 14.09 per cent of the theoretical 11000 MPa ── the formula reaches theoretical strength at a grain size of 0.187652 nm, smaller than the 0.256 nm atomic spacing ── what acts is the grain-boundary volume fraction, 30 per cent at 10 nm ── [Paper 397]

The Hall--Petch relation says finer grains are stronger, and it reverses at 10 to 30 nm. This paper shows that the reversal is not because the theoretical strength was reached──the prediction there does not even reach 14 per cent of it. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem...

The Eigenweight Engine

We demonstrate that the weight matrices of multiple large language models sharing the same architecture but trained for different purposes (code generation vs conversational instruction-following) occupy a shared low-rank manifold. By computing a joint eigenspace (via SVD) across model weights, we factor N separate mod...

The Humidity Goes from 53.80 Per Cent to 100 Without a Drop of Water Being Added ── lift the parcel 1250 m and temperature and dew point meet at exactly 12.75 degrees ── cloud bases are flat because only height decides condensation ── the strength of the updraught does not appear in the formula ── [Paper 399]

Humidity rising sounds like water being added. This paper shows that the humidity can be taken to 100 per cent with the amount of water untouched──it is enough to lift the air. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the lifting condensation level, the dry a...

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.
