Trained on millions of hours of data from Amazon fulfillment centers and sortation centers, Amazon’s new DeepFleet models predict future traffic patterns for fleets of mobile robots.
A new philosophy for developing LLM architectures reduces energy requirements, speeds up runtime, and preserves pretrained-model performance.
Amazon VP and distinguished scientist Byron Cook explains how AWS's new Automated Reasoning checks address key challenges in automated reasoning: translating natural to structured language, defining truth, and definitive reasoning.
Using ensembles of agents to generate and refine interactions annotated with chains of thought improves performance on a battery of benchmarks by an average of 29%.
Language models inspired by specialized processing regions in the brain offer significant time and cost savings.

KDD 2025 Workshop on Prompt Optimization2025Prompt engineering represents a critical bottleneck to harness the full potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) for solving complex tasks, as it requires specialized expertise, significant trial-and-error, and manual intervention. This challenge is particularly pronounced for tasks involving subjective quality assessment, where defining explicit optimization objectives becomes fundamentally problematic

2025Enterprise accounting data is complex, ambiguous, and shaped by evolving systems and regulations. The institutional knowledge needed to reason over the data is sparse, scattered and rarely structurally documented—posing major challenges for LLM agents. We introduce a multi-agent financial research framework that mimics a junior analyst’s onboarding and growth. The Analyst Agent learns proactively from repeated

2025In this paper, we investigate the problem of quantifying fairness in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, particularly for complex cognitive tasks that go beyond factual question-answering. While RAG systems have demonstrated effectiveness in information extraction tasks, their fairness implications for cognitively complex tasks - including ideation, content creation, and analytical reasoning —

Speculative decoding has emerged as a promising approach to accelerating large language model (LLM) generation using a fast drafter while maintaining alignment with the target model’s distribution. However, existing approaches face a tradeoff: external drafters offer flexibility but can suffer from slower drafting, while self-speculation methods use drafters tailored to the target model but require re-training

As large language models increasingly gain popularity in real-world applications, processing extremely long contexts, often exceeding the model’s pre-trained context limits, has emerged as a critical challenge. While existing approaches to efficient long-context processing show promise, recurrent compression-based methods struggle with information preservation, whereas random access approaches require substantial
