We’ve spent the past year developing new primitives for GPUs. We believe this enables new algorithms to change how machines learn, open new markets, and dramatically reshape AI’s cost structure. We have raised a $1 billion Series A, co-led by Index and Lux.

This is a beautiful blog post on how neural networks are able to remember things. Looking at linear layers, various forms of MLPs and self-attention from a memory perspective is surprisingly illuminating. Highly recommended reading!
how much can models remember? there’s a neat perspective on neural networks that deserves to be more widely known here’s how you could have invented every layer of the transformer from memory (1/n) from my new blog post!

Our cells carry the same DNA, but how this DNA is interpreted differs wildly from cell to cell. In a new preprint, Science Fellow @zhou_jingtian and team introduce Bolero, a model conditioned on cell state that predicts chromatin accessibility and expression from DNA alone.

Today we are excited to release Artios, a fully open source system for designing functional de novo enzymes. Enzymes present a new frontier for de novo protein design models due to the challenge of coordinating precise chemistry, rather than binding a target. Enzymes are life’s biological machines and by designing them we can truly start to engineer biology. We believe these fundamental capabilities should be built in the open and shared with the community to progress science faster. 🧵 1/6

Five major databases of human surface proteins agree on only 188 of them. So we had Claude read the literature instead. Today @deliverome is releasing an open atlas of the accessible human surfaceome, with claims traced directly to quotes from their source 🎯

Interesting. If I understood this correctly, TIME once again turns out to be the critical measurement axis that unlocks this mystery.

🔴 Violences en marge des manifestations : "Cette journée, en matière de mode opératoire, ne ressemble pas aux précédentes", affirme Sébastien Lecornu, qui évoque une volonté "très organisée et très méthodique" de recourir à la violence, dès le matin. #EditionSpeciale #canal16

Qonto : boîte française, valorisée 4,4 milliards et rentable (fait rare). 1200 salariés en France, 100M d’impôts versés à l’Etat par an. Bureaux ouverts en septembre après 7 mois de travaux avec des boîtes françaises. Si j’étais @alex_prot ou Steve Anavi, je partirais à Londres.
🇫🇷 ALERTE - Les locaux de la banque Qonto ont été INCENDIÉS à Paris. (témoins)

This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax. - 100-500× faster than mermaid.js - 6× smaller bundle - No dependencies - Easy to theme - Responsive to device width In pursuit of making Obsidian insanely fast and cohesively designed, I always found the Mermaid library to be too big, too slow, and too hard to theme. Pele will be the new renderer in the next version of Obsidian, but you can start using it now. Pele [ˈpɛlɛ] is named after the goddess of volcanoes and fire. It's open source under the MIT license. Try the playground!

Our newest book is finally here! Making the Modern Laboratory is a spectacular 504-page hardcover that tells the story of everything in the research laboratory and how it came to be, from pipettes to heat-resistant glass to microscopes and more. It features dozens of articles (most of which will never appear in print), 100+ full-color images, and original writing from 36 authors. It's printed on Arena Natural Rough paper from Fedrigoni. These books are THICC and would make a great gift for both the science-curious and the working scientist. :) We have spent the last year working on this project. It has been an insane labor of love. The best way to support our independent science journalism is to buy a copy. <3 Pre-order for $49, with free shipping: press.asimov.com/articles/mo…
