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.

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Trust-AI-Eval: Can We Trust AI Evaluation? (TAE)2026Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as classifiers, yet they operate as opaque systems whose decisions are difficult to interpret, which complicates their use in regulated domains such as credit scoring or medical diagnosis. We propose an evolutionary framework that iteratively discovers natural language feature definitions (rubrics) for interpretable classification. An LLM generates candidate

ISSTA 20262026Cloud infrastructure is managed through a mix of interfaces—traditionally, cloud consoles, command-line interfaces (CLI), and SDKs are the tools of choice. Recently, Infrastructure-as-Code/IaC frameworks (e.g., Terraform) have quickly gained popularity. Unlike conventional tools, IaC frameworks encode the infrastructure in a “source-of-truth” configuration. They are capable of automatically carrying out

2026Large language model agents rely on effective model context to obtain task-relevant information for decision-making. Many existing context engineering approaches primarily rely on the context generated from the past experience and retrieval mechanisms that reuse these context. However, retrieved context from past tasks must be adapted by the execution agent to fit new situations, placing additional reasoning

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Generalization for Time Series in Tight Settings (TS-LIMITS)2026Large language models (LLMs) can adapt anomaly detection to heterogeneous time series, but recent LLM-based detectors keep the model in the scoring loop, coupling score production to repeated context construction and model inference. We introduce LLMDP-U, which uses an LLM as a detector compiler: from a statistical profile of a reference prefix and a numerical interface, it generates and validates a series-specific

ASE 20262026Traditional Infrastructure as Code misconfiguration remediation requires manual analysis, a labor-intensive approach that cannot meet the scale and speed demands of modern cloud deployments. We present IacFix, an agentic tool that combines LLM-based agents with formal methods to enable automated IaC security remediation from security findings to validated patches. IacFix introduces end-to-end remediation
