Dion2 reduces the cost of Muon’s orthonormalization step by orthonormalizing only a small, selected submatrix at each iteration.

OptiMind is a specialized language model that translates natural-language problem descriptions directly into solver-ready mathematical optimization formulations.

As AI agents move from isolated tools to active participants in multi-agent ecosystems, their success depends on more than task competence—it requires strategic behavior under misaligned incentives

Agent Lightning is an agent optimization framework that enables agents to learn from their experiences through reinforcement learning and other methods.

HealthBots pair LLMs with rapid expert verification to deliver trusted medical guidance at scale.

We present Adaptively Rotated Optimization (ARO), a matrix optimizer that speeds up LLM training by applying updates in a rotated, geometry-aware coordinate system.
