AI agents are poised to transform digital marketplaces. To explore what can happen when AI agents interact and transact at scale, we built Magentic Marketplace, an open-source simulation environment for studying agentic market designs.
Code agents help streamline software development workflows, but may also introduce critical security risks. Learn how RedCodeAgent automates and improves “red-teaming” attack simulations to help uncover real-world threats that other methods overlook.
SentinelStep enables AI agents to handle monitoring tasks that run for hours or days, like watching for emails or tracking prices. It works by managing when agents should check and their context, avoiding wasted resources and missed updates.
Microsoft researchers reveal a confidential research effort that explored how open-source AI tools could be used to bypass biosecurity checks—and helped create fixes now influencing global standards.
New research from Microsoft, Drexel, and the Broad explores how generative AI could support genetic professionals in rare disease diagnosis.
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.
