Embedding tables are among the largest components of modern language models. Most compression methods fix a coding geometry such as coordinate blocks, low-rank subspaces, or unrestricted codebooks, and optimize within it. We instead ask whether the coding geometry can itself be discovered. We introduce OrBIT, a structure-guided embedding compression framework that learns reusable local geometry from orbit dynamics and uses it to constrain a small set of shared codewords. The global reconstruction residual then decides where the fixed coding budget is spent, while redundant overlapping charts let local errors compensate one another after gluing. Our theory shows how tight-chart geometry controls distortion, how the global residual directs sequential allocation, and how data-geometry-guided refinement improves the codec. The resulting orbit machinery is compiled away, leaving a compact decoder in which the learned structure governs what is stored, where capacity is allocated, and how local information is assembled globally. Across four LLM embedding tables, OrBIT achieves 37.9compression on GPT-2 and over 23on each 7B table relative to 16-bit storage, while delivering competitive rate-distortion performance against established quantization and low-rank baselines.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research .

An essential control of AI agents is their ability to manage runtime. This ability requires a sense of time-awareness, to predict and estimate wall-clock time and to control their own actions. Prior work has focused on time-awareness, but duration-following and control in native agent harnesses remain unexplored. We present AgentTime, a benchmark for testing whether agents can work for a requested duration, predict their runtime, and estimate elapsed time afterward. It comprises 222 tasks from 18 sources spanning coding, computer use, agentic work, and automated research. Duration-following experiments append a single instruction specifying how long to work, with requests ranging from about a minute to multiple days. Accuracy on these instructions varies substantially: Fable 5.1 in Claude Code deviates from requested runtimes by a typical factor of 2.9, compared with only 1.2for GPT-6 Astra in Codex. However, matching the requested runtime does not, by itself, establish continued work on the task. Among 158 reviewed Astra runs with classifiable transcripts, 14 explicitly slept after appearing to finish. In forecasting experiments, predictions tend to overestimate natural runtimes. In retrospective experiments, removing temporal information more than doubles deviation for Sol and Astra and nearly doubles it for Fable. An agent's ability to complete a task does not guarantee that it can control its own time or work for the whole requested duration. For agents to run reliably, safely, and autonomously over long horizons, we require the evaluation of both.
