Posted by Yun Zhu and Lijuan Liu, Software Engineers, Google Research Large language model (LLM) advancements have led to a new paradigm that unifies various natural language processing (NLP) tasks within an instruction-following framework. This paradigm is exemplified by recent multi-task LLMs, such as T0 , FLAN , and OPT-IML .

The paper introduces Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two search agents trained at 35B and 397B parameter scales. They use a novel data pipeline that constructs reverse‑engineered multi‑hop queries from web hyperlinks, filters trajectories, and alternates supervised fine‑tuning with reinforcement learning in a process called SFT‑RL climbing. Evaluations on several benchmarks show that, with inference‑time context management, the agents achieve the best open‑source results in their parameter ranges.

Simon Willison released the llm-typesafe 0.1a0 plugin, adding support for TypeSafe AI’s Jev model to the LLM tool. Users install it with `llm install llm-typesafe`, set an API key, and can then ask Jev-model questions such as yes/no, choice, or scoring queries via the `llm -m jev` command. The release includes examples for each question type and references a README for further details.
Posted by Zilong Wang, Student Researcher, and Chen-Yu Lee, Research Scientist, Cloud AI Team People use tables every day to organize and interpret complex information in a structured, easily accessible format. Due to the ubiquity of such tables, reasoning over tabular data has long been a central topic in natural language processing (NLP).

Posted by Rajat Sen and Yichen Zhou, Google Research Time-series forecasting is ubiquitous in various domains, such as retail, finance, manufacturing, healthcare and natural sciences. In retail use cases, for example, it has been observed that improving demand forecasting accuracy can meaningfully reduce inventory costs and increase revenue.

The release of llm 0.36 introduces new OpenAI models gpt-6-sol and gpt-6-luna, and adds support for model plugins to declare that they do not support conversations via supports_conversation = False. When such models receive assistant or tool history, llm raises a ConversationNotSupported error and the chat interface rejects them before starting a session. Additional changes include wrapping reasoning traces in Markdown output with <details> tags and bug fixes from five contributors.
