Simulating ocean climate takes a supercomputer 4,600+ CPU cores to produce 12 simulated years per day (SYPD). Samudra 2 produces 4,800 SYPD on 1 GPU at the same resolution. In a new blog, @al.merose.com reports on Samudra, a neural ocean emulator built in collaboration with NYU & MIT: bit.ly/oa-ss

David Siegel, founder and chairman of Open Athena, writes in Fortune on the importance of open source. David likens AI to the libraries of the future, just as important for learning and dissemination of knowledge as libraries have been. Read the full article at: openathena.ai/blog/david-s...

I argued with the father of open source for 2 years. Now the AI fight is the same — only bigger.

Research software engineers used to be "builders of pipes." Now those pipes are generated on demand, and the work shifts to figuring out which ideas are worth exploring. VP of Engineering Yael Elmatad discusses the RSE role in the age of agentic tooling in a new blog: openathena.ai/blog/researc...

Betsy Cannon is a member of technical staff, where she leads material science projects RHOAR-Net, with Princeton's Rosen Research Group, and MarinMat. Read her story on learning DFT, how AI changes shared research infrastructure, and what pottery taught her about building by hand: bit.ly/oa-betsy

In 16th-century Italy, mathematicians kept their discoveries secret, saving them to deploy as weapons in public "math duels" for prestige and patronage. In a new blog post, David Hall argues that frontier AI has its own culture of secrecy that we must address. openathena.ai/blog/open-de...

In a new blog, Russell Power explains how the Marin team nearly doubled its sustained TPU usage by creating a custom global scheduler: Iris. Iris searches every region where Marin has compute, places each job wherever capacity appears, and moves data along as needed. 🔗 openathena.ai/blog/cluster...

At a recent panel on driving the technological future forward, our COO and CSO Jared Crooks explained the importance of keeping AI development open, why ethics should be embedded in tech, and more. Watch or read the discussion at the link

In our latest blog post, Marin team member Larry Dial describes the pretraining techniques we're using as we transition from dense models to more efficient Mixture of Experts (MoE) models. This demos the stability and predictability of MoEs, giving us a promising direction for our next training run
