As agentic AI ushers in a new era marked by tool expansion, systems are converging, and complexity is rising. Microsoft Research explores the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a new standard for agent collaboration across fragmented tool ecosystems.
RenderFormer, from Microsoft Research, is the first model to show that a neural network can learn a complete graphics rendering pipeline. It’s designed to support full-featured 3D rendering using only machine learning—no traditional graphics computation required.
Datacenter memory and network limits are restraining AI system performance. MOSAIC uses microLEDs and a wide-and-slow optical architecture to deliver faster, longer, more reliable, and energy efficient connections that could transform AI cluster designs.
Crescent helps make digital IDs private by preventing tracking across uses while letting users only disclose what’s necessary from their credentials.
Recently, we released a paper Working with AI: Measuring the Occupational Implications of Generative AI that studied what occupations might find AI chatbots useful, and to what degree. The paper sparked significant discussion, which is no surprise since people care deeply about the future of AI and jobs--that’s part of why we think it’s important to study these topics.
MindJourney can enable AI to navigate and interpret 3D environments from limited visual input, potentially improving performance in navigation, planning, and safety-critical tasks.
Dion is a new AI model optimization method that boosts scalability and performance over existing leading methods by orthonormalizing only a top rank subset of singular vectors, enabling more efficient training of large models such as LLaMA-3 with reduced overhead.
Microsoft is pioneering a vision for a self-adapting AI system that can adapt to the dynamic nature of scientific discovery, promoting deeper, more refined reasoning in complex scientific domains.
Designed to classify software without context, Project Ire replicates the gold standard in malware analysis through reverse engineering. It streamlines a complex, expert-driven process, making large-scale malware detection faster & more consistent.
VeriTrail, new from Microsoft Research, can detect AI-generated content that is not supported by the source text, trace the provenance of content from final output back to the source, and locate where errors were likely introduced.
Xinxing Xu is helping shape the work of Microsoft Research Asia – Singapore by turning advanced AI research into real-world solutions. Learn how he collaborates across sectors and disciplines to drive responsible innovation throughout Southeast Asia.
Semantic Telemetry helps LLMs run efficiently, reliably, and in near real-time. Learn about the engineering behind that system, including the trade-offs and lessons learned along the way—from batching strategies to token optimization and orchestration.
