Runtime optimizations and a thorough evaluation process driven by agentic AI help ensure that models written in PyTorch will execute efficiently and reliably on Trainium systems.
Expanding the mix of synthetic data used to train a tabular foundation model enables it to adapt to new tables without new models and lead the single-model field on the TabArena benchmark.
Using the Neuron Kernel Interface, a Reactor–AWS collaboration tackled the dynamic shapes, memory access patterns, and cache management that make real-time autoregressive diffusion hard—building techniques that generalize across models.
Three new papers from Amazon Bio Discovery address bottlenecks in AI-driven antibody engineering, from benchmarking binding predictors to experimentally validating de novo design.
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.

The collaboration aims to advance research while broadening participation and translating discovery into real-world solutions.
Submissions open October 1 and close on November 11, 2026
The collaboration will support research in robotics, industrial and systems engineering, and aerospace technology while fostering innovation in foundational and emerging technologies.
The Build on Trainium program is a $110 million credit initiative supporting AI research at 30 universities including Stanford, UC Berkeley, UIUC, UCLA, CMU, and MIT, with a focus on Responsible AI.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.
Challenge pushes teams to demonstrate measurable gains in secure-coding performance while building AI agents that advance real-world utility and reliability at scale.
Initiative will fund over 100 doctoral students researching machine learning, computer vision, and natural-language processing at nine universities.

ICDE 20272027A fundamental challenge of vector search is achieving consistently high recall while minimizing computational costs. Fixed search parameters cause significant performance variance across queries, and conventional evaluation on average recall masks these per-query disparities. We introduce QASP (Query-Adaptive robust vector Search Policy), which predicts the complete recall progression curve per query via

IAAI 20272027Alexa+ devices with screens display animated icons during conversations to visually reinforce what is being said. The original set of these icons was hand-drawn by designers one at a time, a process that produces polished results but is time-consuming and cannot scale to the range of topics encountered in open-ended conversation. We describe an automated pipeline, deployed in production, that generates

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Large Language Models for Social Reasoning and Simulation (SocialAgent)2026The bitter lesson holds that general methods leveraging computation defeat hand-encoded domain knowledge. We argue it carries a condition its popular reading omits: in every case Sutton cites, the general method was scaled against the same task the domain engineering was solving. Social simulation substituted across tasks instead, replacing hand-built agents with an artifact optimized for predicting text

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Transitioning from Pre-Training to Post-Training2026Reward fusion combines an exact outcome signal with a dense but noisy process signal before group relative policy optimization (GRPO). For a fixed rollout group, we show that the part of the local GRPO update due to reward is an exact sum of pairwise policy score differences weighted by normalized reward gaps. This identity separates two roles for process reward: it can order incorrect trajectories, but

Unified Search and Recommendation Workshop (USRW'26)2026Recommending a new content type to users who have never tried it is a hard cold-start problem: there is no in-domain history to infer taste from. We study audiobook discovery on a large music streaming platform, where most users have never played an audiobook. Many of them, however, leave behavioral traces in other domains: podcasts, audiobooks elsewhere, videos, and related content. We turn those traces
