Microsoft AI Releases VibeVoice-Realtime: A Lightweight Real‑Time Text-to-Speech Model Supporting Streaming Text Input and Robust Long-Form Speech Generation
Microsoft has released VibeVoice-Realtime-0.5B, a real time text to speech model that works with streaming text input and long form speech output, aimed at agent style applications and live data narration. The model can start producing audible speech in about 300 ms, which is critical when a language model is still generating the rest of its answer. Where VibeVoice Realtime Fits in the VibeVoice Stack? VibeVoice is a broader framework that focuses on next token diffusion over continuous […]

New tool makes generative AI models more likely to create breakthrough materials
The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials. But when it comes to designing materials with exotic quantum properties like superconductivity or unique magnetic states, those models struggle. That’s too bad, because humans could use the help. For example, […]

New algorithms enable efficient machine learning with symmetric data
If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine-learning model might think it is a new data point. In computer science parlance, the molecule is “symmetric,” meaning the fundamental structure of that molecule remains the same if it undergoes certain transformations, like rotation. If a drug discovery model doesn’t understand symmetry, it could make inaccurate predictions about molecular properties. But despite some empirical […]

How to Build a Meta-Cognitive AI Agent That Dynamically Adjusts Its Own Reasoning Depth for Efficient Problem Solving
In this tutorial, we build an advanced meta-cognitive control agent that learns how to regulate its own depth of thinking. We treat reasoning as a spectrum, ranging from fast heuristics to deep chain-of-thought to precise tool-like solving, and we train a neural meta-controller to decide which mode to use for each task. By optimizing the trade-off between accuracy, computation cost, and a limited reasoning budget, we explore how an agent can monitor its internal state and adapt its […]
