quickthink: local-first inference control layer for small LLMs

quickthink is a local-first inference control layer that aims to give small, on-device language models more reliable structured output by inserting a compressed plan-then-answer scaffold with latency-aware routing. Its routing, plan-grammar, and validation logic run as plain-Python middleware (no extra model of its own...

Agentic AI and the Dissolution of Managerial Authority: Organisational Sensegiving in Autonomous Decision-Making Systems

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is shifting from decision support to autonomous coordination, challenging established assumptions about managerial authority. This qualitative conceptual paper synthesises recent literature in algorithmic management, organisational theory, and human-computer interaction to examine h...

#small language model Review Open access Sep 2026

Systematic Bias in Comparative Evaluations of Machine Learning Versus Logistic Regression for Clinical Prediction Models: A Meta-Research Analysis Using Trauma Mortality as an Empirical Case.

This study characterises the methodological architecture that produces apparent ML superiority and translates that diagnosis into minimum standards, and proposes six minimum methodological standards - pre-specification, fair comparator design, robust external or temporal validation, calibration and decision-analytic re...

#small language model Meta-analysis Open access Sep 2026

Oral amoxicillin for management of fast breathing or chest indrawing pneumonia without danger signs in children aged 2–59 months: a systematic review and meta-analysis

In children (2–59 months), oral amoxicillin significantly reduces treatment failure compared to no antibiotics for fast breathing pneumonia and is comparable to injectable antibiotics for chest indrawing pneumonia without danger signs.

A cross-domain empirical benchmark of quantum-inspired and classical optimization algorithms for machine learning

Quantum-inspired (QI) optimizers are increasingly proposed as alternatives to classical gradient-based training, yet are frequently benchmarked through classical stand-ins rather than themselves. Across tabular, vision, and language tasks we evaluate three classes: direct implementations of published update rules (Spal...

Prompting with Respect: Cultural Norms and User Experience in LLM Interactions

Despite growing interest in prompt engineering, its influence on user experience—particularly in relation to cultural communication norms—remains largely unexplored. This controlled experiment examined how respectful versus directive prompting—a culturally meaningful contrast in Korean—affects Korean users’ psychologic...

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.
