Isabelle/HOL's balance of expressiveness, automation, and scalability enabled the world's first formally verified cloud hypervisor.
A single, optimized LLM unifies what previously required multiple models and can serve as a reasoning partner for medical chemists.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.
Low-rank adaptation, data augmentation, and chain-of-thought reasoning are among the techniques enabling accent-free polyglot outputs, improved expressiveness, and reliable synthesis.

2026The role of reasoning in Audio Large Language Models remains widely underexplored, as introducing a reasoning process often degrades rather than improves performance during inference, a phenomenon we term test-time inverse scaling, where longer reasoning chains yield progressively worse results. We demonstrate that this stems not from fundamental limitations of reasoning itself, but from inadequate training

2026Large Language Models (LLMs) can produce catastrophic responses in conversational settings that pose serious risks to public safety and security. Existing evaluations often fail to fully reveal these vulnerabilities because they rely on fixed attack prompt sequences, lack statistical guarantees, and do not scale to the vast space of multi-turn conversations. In this work, we propose C3LLM, a novel, principled

2026Modern language models (LMs) still rely on fixed, pre-defined subword tokenizations. Once a tokenizer is trained, the LM can only operate at this fixed level of granularity, which often leads to brittle and counterintuitive behaviors even in otherwise strong reasoning models. We introduce ByteFlow Net, a new hierarchical architecture that removes tokenizers entirely and instead enables models to learn their

2026Transformers are widely used across data modalities, and yet the principles dis-tilled from text models often transfer imperfectly to models trained to other modalities. In this paper, we analyze Transformers through the lens of rank structure. Our focus is on the time series setting, where the structural proper-ties of the data differ remarkably from those of text or vision. We show that time-series embeddings

2026Minimizing the inference cost and latency of foundation models has become a crucial area of research. Optimization approaches include theoretically lossless methods and others without accuracy guarantees like quantization. In all of these cases it is crucial to ensure that the model quality has not degraded. However, even at temperature zero, model generations are not necessarily robust even to theoretically
