AI agents often fail because their instructions, or skills, are manually modified with no guarantee of improvement. Learn how SkillOpt turns skill editing into a training process, making agent behavior more reliable without changing model weights. The post SkillOpt: Agent skills as trainable paramet...

AI agents can't remember past conversations. They must constantly reload or retrieve context, which grows less efficient as tasks get longer and more complex. Memora solves this with a scalable memory system separating what’s stored from how it's retrieved. The post Memora: A Harmonic Memory Represe...

Researchers introduce generative causal testing, which translates black box models into clear hypotheses and verifies them in the scanner, revealing what specific brain regions respond to in language. The post Understanding the brain with AI-driven explanations and experiments appeared first on Micr...

Talos was built to help resolve a major bottleneck in genomic medicine: human review time. The open-source system recovered 90% of in-scope diagnoses while surfacing just 1.3 candidate variants per patient for expert review. The post Talos: Scaling rare disease diagnosis with automated, iterative g...

Project Ire examined a timely malware sample and determined its intent through reverse engineering—identifying LOTUSLITE characteristics even as most major EDR tools did not detect it. The post Ire identifies another LOTUSLITE specimen appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Data Formulator introduces AI-powered analytics for enterprise data workflows. Data teams can easily bring enterprise data into an AI-ready workspace where users can explore, analyze, and visualize data with AI agents to turn raw data into actionable insights. The post Data Formulator 0.7: AI-powere...

The post There is no Copilot without the pilots, says Slovenian insurance executive appeared first on Source.

Understanding AI as an extension of human intelligence—not a replacement for it—offers a more grounded path for building trustworthy AI systems. The post Extending Human Intelligence Through AI appeared first on Microsoft Research.

MagenticLite is an agentic system for small models that works across the browser and local file system in a single workflow. It combines specialized models and orchestration to support efficient agentic performance on everyday tasks. The post MagenticLite, MagenticBrain, Fara1.5: An agentic experien...

Our recent paper, “LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate”, has generated discussion about the reliability of AI systems in delegated workflows. We appreciate the interest in this work and want to clarify several important points about what the paper does—and does not—claim. The research aims...

The post Costa Rican dairy cooperative turns AI agents into coworkers appeared first on Source.

mimalloc is an open-source, modern, scalable memory allocator that is a drop-in replacement for malloc and free. It is relatively small (~12K lines), with clear internal data structures, and is easy to build and integrate into other projects. It provides bounded worst-case allocation times (up to OS...

Introducing GridSFM, a small foundation model that can predict AC optimal power flow in milliseconds, boosting efficiency and unlocking cost savings. Learn how GridSFM gives grid operators direct visibility into congestion, stability, and system health. The post GridSFM: A new, small foundation mode...

MatterSim is expanding what AI can do for materials science—from faster large-scale simulations to MatterSim-MT, a new multi-task model for simulating properties beyond potential energy surfaces alone. The post Advancing AI for materials with MatterSim: experimental synthesis, faster simulation, and...

Microsoft Research is excited to release an open dataset of approximate transmission topology of the U.S. power grid derived from publicly available data. The ability to study transmission-level power grid behavior is essential for modern power systems research. Analyses of congestion, transmission ...

Microsoft researchers share advances in building and operating large-scale distributed systems, spanning datacenters, networking, and the growing intersection with AI during NSDI ’26. The post Microsoft at NSDI 2026: Advances in large-scale networked systems appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Safe agents don’t guarantee a safe ecosystem of interconnected agents. Microsoft Research examines what breaks when AI agents interact and why network-level risks require new approaches. The post Red-teaming a network of agents: Understanding what breaks when AI agents interact at scale appeared fir...

Deploying large language models (LLMs) in real-world, high-stakes settings is harder than it should be. In high-stakes settings like law, medicine, and cloud incident response, performance and reliability can quickly break down because adapting models to domain-specific requirements is a slow and ma...
