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.

2026Production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems serve repeated queries over evolving document corpora under user-specific access constraints. Standard pipelines perform full retrieval and generation for every request, wasting computation on recurring queries. Naive caching reduces latency but introduces safety failures: stale evidence from updated documents, unauthorized content crossing access

ACM SIGSPATIAL 20262026Geospatial analysis traditionally requires specialized GIS expertise, complex software interfaces, and significant manual effort to orchestrate data from heterogeneous sources. We present Fangorn, an agentic platform that enables analysts to perform sophisticated geospatial intelligence operations through natural language conversation. Fangorn combines a modular tool ecosystem based on the Model Context

2026Knowledge distillation has become a crucial technique to transfer the capacities of large language models (LLMs) to smaller, more efficient models for practical deployment. While recent work exploits rich information from intermediate states of the teacher model for more effective knowledge transfer, imperfect knowledge from the teacher can also mislead student learning, restricting the student's generalization

2026A/B testing is the gold standard for evaluating product changes, but each experiment requires real user traffic, engineering effort, and weeks of measurement. We propose a simulation framework that predicts A/B test outcomes using LLM-powered agents conditioned on data-driven personas grounded in real user behavioral signals. Unlike prior work that relies on synthetic or rule-based personas, our agents

JudgePanel: A compact judge with panel deliberation via adaptive multi-reward reinforcement learning2026The LLM-as-a-Judge paradigm has emerged as a scalable alternative to human evaluation. However, single-model judges are limited by their inherent model biases, while multi-agent evaluation protocols that mitigate this through diverse deliberation are prohibitively expensive at inference time. To this end, we propose JudgePanel, which equips a compact Judge model with multi-agent Panel deliberation capability
