Takeaways − DeBERTa-v3-small is a 44M-parameter English encoder with a 128K vocabulary from Microsoft Research. Uses ELECTRA-style replaced-token-detection training instead of masked language modeling for better sample efficiency.
On July 24, 2025, Microsoft Research Asia – Singapore (MSRA – Singapore) opened its doors as Microsoft’s first research lab in Southeast Asia.
Most tools give you a fixed set of screens and ask you to fit your work into them.

Pinecone BYOC: Trusted AI Knowledge in the Customer Cloud Today, we are announcing the general availability of Pinecone Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, bringing Pinecone’s trusted AI knowledge platform to where enterprise data needs to live. AI becomes transformative when it works with a company’s proprietary knowledge.
The GitHub Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot app, and GitHub Copilot SDK are all backed by the Copilot agent runtime, an agentic harness that can be embedded into…
When an agent makes a change to your code, you want to review it, run it, and see what changed.
Over the past few weeks, we have announced several important steps to expand sovereign AI by increasing access to local infrastructure capacity. Earlier this summer, we announced an expanded partnership with Microsoft to increase compute capacity in Europe.
At a glance Skala 1.1 demonstrates the continuously improving nature of Microsoft Research’s deep-learning DFT approach: trained on 2.5× more data than…

Artificial intelligence is already helping clinicians spot patterns in diagnostic images and detect signs of disease. But many of today’s pathology AI systems are built for a single task and must be rebuilt for each new application.
AI workloads are scaling faster than any single infrastructure approach can support — with more models, new agent-driven workloads and surging compute demand driving the need for greater specialization across the stack. To meet this need, Microsoft continues to evolve Azure’s infrastructure, including expanding its AI fleet with AMD’s most advanced AI and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions.
Cancer treatment has gotten more precise over time, as doctors first classified the disease by where it began in the body and, more recently, by the mutations found inside cancer cells to help find the right drugs to treat it. But why can two people with seemingly similar cancers respond so differently to the same medication?
