In building LLM applications, enterprises often have to create very long system prompts to adjust the model’s behavior for their applications. These prompts contain company knowledge, preferences, and application-specific instructions. At enterprise scale, these contexts can push inference latency past acceptable thresholds and drive per-query costs up significantly. On-Policy Context Distillation (OPCD), a new training framework proposed by researchers at Microsoft, helps bake the knowledge and preferences

The only time I ever saw my grandfather cry was when he thought he was alone in the kitchen—and the thing that made him cry was so small and so ordinary that it rewired everything I thought I knew about what breaks a strong man

I stumbled through the back door to return a borrowed drill and found the toughest man I'd ever known—a guy who could haul refrigerators up stairs without breaking a sweat—sobbing over a bowl of oatmeal he'd made himself. Read more

Traditional software governance often uses static compliance checklists, quarterly audits and after-the-fact reviews. But this method can't keep up with AI systems that change in real time. A machine learning (ML) model might retrain or drift between quarterly operational syncs. This means that, by the time an issue is discovered, hundreds of bad decisions could already have been made. This can be almost impossible to untangle. In the fast-paced world... Read more
