Large language model (LLM) inference has become an operational workload that fleets must provision, monitor, and bill against latency service-level objectives (SLOs). A single throughput number cannot answer the questions operators actually face, because generative…
Tree-structured prefix sharing is now standard in large language model (LLM) serving: a radix-tree KV cache lets multiple requests reuse common context prefixes and reduces memory capacity pressure. Yet the attention kernels used with these…
Unlocking new gaming experience with agentic AI Microsoft VEGA TeamMicrosoft Research & XBOX What if, instead of controlling every move your game character made, you could tell them what you wanted and watch them live,…
Imitation learning enables agents to learn complex behaviour from demonstrations, but in practice it often requires large datasets that are costly or impractical to collect. Our project studies how to make imitation learning significantly more…
CARE is a research program at Microsoft Research India focused on building foundation and multimodal models for healthcare, with an emphasis on radiology. The program develops vision-language and representation-learning systems that prioritize clinical fidelity, interpretability,…
Project Sico (Symbiotic Intelligence for Co-evolution) investigates how agentic systems achieve persistent, system-level improvement. The key research theme behind Sico is agentic evolution, the shift from self-improving agents to co-evolving human–AI systems. Its central argument…
Encrypted Spaces is a research project (opens in new tab) exploring an architecture for building collaborative applications where data is encrypted and all operations are cryptographically verifiable. We pursue this work in close collaboration with…
Improving the Performance and Security of GPU Systems using Introspection The goal of Project Sapphire is to improve the performance and security of GPU systems using both software and hardware-based introspection. Introspection refers to using…
Unlocking new forms of creative expression and ushering in the future of interactive media World and Human Action Models, or WHAM for short, are a family of generative AI models that capture both the environment…
Enabling everyone to shape AI Project Volano is carrying out cross-disciplinary research to understand how we can value and utilize community perspectives throughout the whole of the AI pipeline. Our first use case is to…
