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.
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.

2026Machine Translation (MT) and automatic MT evaluation have improved dramatically in recent years, enabling numerous novel applications. Automatic evaluation techniques have evolved from producing scalar quality scores to precisely locating translation errors and assigning them error categories and severity levels. However, it remains unclear how to reliably measure the evaluation capabilities of auto-evaluators

2026Data annotation remains a central bottleneck in natural language processing, requiring human effort to obtain high-quality labels at scale. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a fast and cost-effective alternative, their reliability is highly instance-dependent: they perform well on simple inputs but often fail on examples requiring nuanced reasoning or contextual understanding. In this work, we address

NeurIPS 20262026Uncertainty estimation is essential not only for the trustworthy deployment of large language models (LLMs) but also as a foundation for self-refinement in LLM generation. However, existing approaches operate at suboptimal granularities: token-level scores lack semantic coherence, while sequence-level scores fail to localize errors. We formalize Span-Level Uncertainty Estimation (SLUE), a new task that

2026Evaluating enterprise agents on domain-specific benchmarks is critical, yet public benchmarks rarely evaluate whether agents can integrate business knowledge with analytical computation, and constructing such benchmarks manually is costly. We present DI-Bench, a pipeline for generating realistic benchmarks for data intelligence (DI), the practice of extracting insights from large volumes of enterprise data

2026Multi-agent debate improves LLM reasoning, yet agreement is not evidence of correctness. When agents converge on a wrong answer through social reinforcement, consensus stopping commits that error to automated action with no recourse. We introduce Conformal Social Choice, a post-hoc layer that converts debate outputs into calibrated act-versus-escalate decisions. Verbalized probability distributions from
