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.

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

On the impact of gas line absorption in hollow core fibers on the timing recovery of coherent modemsPSC 2026 (International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing)2026We discuss the impact of gas line absorption (GLA) in hollow core fibers (HCFs) on coherent modem timing recovery (TR). The latter is simulated by placing the timing error detector pre- and post-adaptive equalization.

2026LLM agents are increasingly deployed as systems built around editable external harnesses, including prompts, skills, memories and tools, that shape task execution without changing model parameters. Harness self-evolution adapts such agents by updating these harnesses from execution evidence. Yet it remains unclear whether a model's base capability in task-solving predicts its capabilities in harness self-evolution

2026Warehouse operations are governed by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that encode complex, multi-system decision logic, which must be executed reliably under strict time constraints, yet LLM agents lack mechanisms to enforce procedural compliance and degrade under the context overload full SOP specifications introduce. We present Eluna, a production-deployed agentic system for reliable SOP execution

ACM SIGSPATIAL 20262026Accurate and timely identification of road closures is critical for large-scale navigation and logistics systems, yet remains challenging due to the need to jointly reason over visual evidence, spatial context, and road network topology. Existing approaches either rely on manual map updates or focus on detecting closure-related objects without resolving which road segment is affected. In this work, we introduce
