Today would be a great day for the AI research community to leave X for good. In your own self interest and for the public perception of AI, take a stand. Unless you agree with using it as a misinformation and propaganda machine, I guess.
Introducing SciArena, a platform for benchmarking models across scientific literature tasks. Inspired by Chatbot Arena, SciArena applies a crowdsourced LLM evaluation approach to the scientific domain. 🧵

WhyTF would people use Grok when they do things like this? Not to mention the pollution they’re producing in Memphis.
Dr. Gabagool and the Salami of Secrets@jimpjorps.bsky.social · last yr.apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"
There is no bigger turn off to reading a paper than seeing the words “is all you need” in the title.

I always look forward to FutureHouse releases. I had to do a little digging for API information so here it is for those who are interested. futurehouse.gitbook.io/futurehouse-...

Andrew White 🐦⬛@andrew.diffuse.one · last yr.The plan at FutureHouse has been to build scientific agents for discoveries. We’ve spent the last year researching the best way to make agents. We’ve made a ton of progress and now we’ve engineered them to be used at scale, by anyone. Free and on API.
I knew he would do this. I wrote a whole article about how he would do this. I am not surprised he’s undermining vaccination. I know he’s an anti-vaxxer & a predatory crank. And yet…you have got to be fucking kidding me. He’s promoting infant mortality.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

How have I been coding with Python for 10 years and just learned today that you can update the same line in a terminal using '\r' and end=''? print(f"\rDownload progress: {percent}%", end='') Thanks Claude.
98% of microplastic particles (MP) in bottled water are smaller than 20 μm, which are much more likely to get thru the GI tract to blood and organ tissue. Municipal tap water was higher in MP than 8 of 10 bottled water brands journals.plos.org/water/articl...
Super excited to announce our latest work. On a personal note, it's not an exaggeration to say that blood, sweat, and tears got us to the finish line on this: working w/ an outstanding global team of scientists in Germany, Japan, Russia, and USA responding in >100 pages of complex reviewer comments.
Massively parallel characterization of transcriptional regulatory elements - Nature

Not to brag but apparently I'm "on a roll!" over at LinkedIn. Blessed 🙏.
I'll get straight to the point. We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT. Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff. It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵
Excited to share that we have just released genomenotebook 1.0 together with @trichomedoctor.bsky.social ! If you like to analyze genomics data in Jupyter notebooks this is for you. You can get beautiful genome browsers directly in your notebooks: dbikard.github.io/genomenotebo...
