UnlockZero knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum resistant security. The post Proof based general purpose computing with Magnetar…
StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI…
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500 Line…
Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity. The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches…
Extreme space weather events can damage power systems on Earth and degrade GPS accuracy and satellite operations. A new machine learning system can predict where damage is likely to occur 30 60 minutes before a storm arrives. The post Forecasting space weather risks on power grids appeared first on Microsoft Research .
Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights across biological scales and modalities, Quine helps scientists computationally search a space far larger than intuition…
Since launching a year ago, the Microsoft Research Asia — Singapore lab has established a strong foundation, deepened collaboration across government, academia, and industry, and explored how frontier AI research can create real world value. The post One year in: How Microsoft Research Asia – Singapore is advancing…
Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads. The post Offloaded inference for real world physical AI robotics…
Custom made molecules are advancing medicine, materials, and agriculture, but producing them is slow and expensive. A new Nature paper highlights RetroChimera, a predictive model that helps accelerate chemical synthesis, helping researchers explore a wide range of molecules. The post Improving synthesis prediction of…
What if pathology foundation models could do more with less? GigaPath Flash and GigaTIME Flash cut computational demands while maintaining strong performance, opening the door to larger studies and broader exploration. The post GigaPath Flash and GigaTIME Flash: Toward population scale discovery with efficient…
