"At Microsoft, we are pioneering a vision for a continually steerable virtual scientist. In line with this vision, we created the ability to have a non-reasoning model develop thought patterns that allow for control and customizability by scientists. Our approach, a cognitive loop via in-situ optimization (CLIO), does not rely on reinforcement learning post-training to develop reasoning patterns... Through our evaluation on Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE) ... we increased OpenAI GPT-4.1’s base model accuracy on text-only biology and medicine from 8.55% to 22.37%, an absolute increase of 13.82% (161.64% relative), surpassing o3 (high)." To learn more details about our approach, please read our pre-print paper (https://lnkd.in/gxX7CTEn) published alongside this blog.
