LLMs and the Need for Scientific Code Control LLMs have rapidly evolved into complex natural language processors, enabling the development of agentic systems that manage complex workflows. However, the use of LLM agents for generating scientific code is unexplored. Scientific software primarily depends on C++, CUDA, and other low-level languages, which are underrepresented in most…

Generative AI and Its Challenges in Autoregressive Code Generation The field of generative artificial intelligence has significantly impacted software development by automating various coding tasks, ranging from simple auto-completions to complex software solutions. However, traditional language models predominantly employ autoregressive methods, predicting one token at a time, which leads to inherent bottlenecks and latency issues….

A Unified Deep Learning Model to Understand the Genome Google DeepMind has unveiled AlphaGenome, a new deep learning framework designed to predict the regulatory consequences of DNA sequence variations across a wide spectrum of biological modalities. AlphaGenome stands out by accepting long DNA sequences—up to 1 megabase—and outputting high-resolution predictions, such as base-level splicing events,…

Introduction: Personal LLM Agents and Privacy Risks LLMs are deployed as personal assistants, gaining access to sensitive user data through Personal LLM agents. This deployment raises concerns about contextual privacy understanding and the ability of these agents to determine when sharing specific user information is appropriate. Large reasoning models (LRMs) pose challenges as they operate…

Challenges of LLMs in Medical Decision-Making: Addressing Hallucinations via Knowledge Retrieval LLMs are set to revolutionize healthcare through intelligent decision support and adaptable chat-based assistants. However, a major challenge is their tendency to produce factually incorrect medical information. To address this, a common solution is RAG, where external medical knowledge is broken into smaller text…

Reframing Code LLM Training through Scalable, Automated Data Pipelines Code data plays a key role in training LLMs, benefiting not just coding tasks but also broader reasoning abilities. While many open-source models rely on manual filtering and expert-crafted rules to curate code datasets, these approaches are time-consuming, biased, and hard to scale across languages. Proprietary…

Why Cross-Domain Reasoning Matters in Large Language Models (LLMs) Recent breakthroughs in LRMs, especially those trained using Long CoT techniques, show they can generalize impressively across different domains. Interestingly, models trained on tasks such as math or coding often perform well in unrelated areas, like logical puzzles or creative writing. However, what enables this flexibility…
