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.
How the Verus "program verifier", which automatically checks code against a mathematical specification of its functionality, helps increase security assurance in software projects.
Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads — demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.

The collaboration will support research in robotics, industrial and systems engineering, and aerospace technology while fostering innovation in foundational and emerging technologies.
Submissions open October 1 and close on November 4, 2026
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.

2026Contrastive fine-tuning of a single embedding model across heterogeneous retrieval tasks is challenging when the tasks differ in label structure. In product-compliance retrieval, some tasks have multi-label supervision — every item carries a set of compliance categories, and many in-batch items share at least one category with the query, producing frequent in-batch false negatives. Other tasks (e.g., cross-catalog

2026Enterprise analytics agents solve long-horizon tool-use problems over distributed business data, requiring retrieval, reasoning, API calls, code execution, and adaptation to intermediate observations. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) calibrates tool syntax and teacher-supported behavior, whereas reinforcement learning (RL) can explore reward-supported behaviors beyond demonstrations; applied uniformly, however

ICML 2026 Workshop on Agents in the Wild2026Pre-deployment testing of conversational agents requires simulating diverse user behaviors, yet real interaction data is scarce for new products and scripted test cases miss critical edge cases. Existing LLM-based user simulators generate personas from demographic templates or fictional backstories, lacking grounding in operational data, validated behavioral controllability, and systematic coverage of agent

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Foundation Models for Temporal Systems2026Adapting a forecasting system to a changing world classically means retraining. We ask whether the task of continually learning regimes for time series forecasting can be represented by a piece of text: a guidance block, evolved by outcome-driven reflection and used in a frozen LLM forecaster's prompt. On a refreshed multimodal benchmark (weekly search indices, daily currencies, daily commodities, each

SOSP 20262026This talk presents a layered C++ architecture that solves this at scale. We present our core abstrcactions; a header-only Lie group library provides shared spatial math types (SE(3) poses, twists, wrenches); a trajectory library for motion planners and controllers; and a collision detection library from the same. We will discuss how we moved from virtual functions to C++ concepts with zero overhead and
