A new Caltech-led paper demonstrates that an AI program can be used to predict when tipping points occur in simple models, including models of a climate-change system and simulations of turbulent airflow over a plane's wing.

Kareem El-Badry, associate professor of astronomy at Caltech, has been selected as one of 20 Packard Fellows for 2026. Much of El-Badry’s work is focused on spotting hidden populations of black holes using data from large-scale sky surveys.

Really excited to share that our work on TorchLean at @Caltech, with @AnimaAnandkumar, has been selected for support through the 2026 AI for Math Fund, run by @RenPhilanthropy and funded by @xtxmarkets.
Since releasing TorchLean, we’ve expanded from verified neural-network execution to autodiff, floating-point semantics, verification, and GPU execution; uncovered bugs and semantic mismatches across major ML stacks; and seen teams at major companies and U.S. national labs begin using it for ML verification.
With this support, we’re excited to push toward formally verified GPU execution and GPU kernel verification—part of a broader goal of making AI and scientific computation trustworthy across the full stack.

Congrats to all the winners!
We're delighted to announce the winners of this year’s grants from the AI for Math Fund, powered by founding donor @xtxmarkets:
22 winners, 30+ organizations, selected from 400+ applications across 50 countries.
Backed by a record $17.1M from XTX Markets, bringing their total commitment to $35.1M.
