We've burned 7% of $MIRA to better support the ecosystem. Mira is currently holding a portfolio of 10.15 ETH.

Why build it in a game when you could build it for real :)

Emerging autoresearch labs worth following: @AutoScienceAI (@eliot_cowan) One of the cleanest “AI builds AI” bets: agents that invent, test, and ship ML models; not just tune hyperparameters. @intology (@zhouandy_) Zochi and Locus are built for the full research loop: read, hypothesize, code, run thousands of experiments, learn from failures, repeat. @thesis_labs (@eigentopology) YC F25. Treating ML research as a compounding search problem, where every experiment improves the next one instead of dying in a Notion doc. @Recursive_SI (@RichardSocher, @_rockt, @jeffclune) A very ambitious new bet on AI systems that run open-ended experiments on how to make AI systems better. autoresearch with recursive consequences. @EdisonSci (@SGRodriques, @andrewwhite01) A newer FutureHouse spinout bringing AI scientists into biopharma R&D — where “deep research” has to survive real data, real experiments, and real timelines. @HarmonicMath (@tachim, @vladtenev) Math’s version of autoresearch: AI exploring new proofs, with formal verification as the anti-hallucination layer. @readysetpotato (@Nick___Edwards) An AI scientist for actual research workflows — papers, hypotheses, protocols, computational tools, and eventually lab automation. @EvoScientist (@_xizhang) A very early one to watch: multi-agent AI scientists with persistent memory, so failed ideas and experiments improve the next research cycle. @SakanaAILabs (@hardmaru) The original AI Scientist builders. Still one of the best technical follows for research artifacts, open source, and weird ideas that actually run. not exhaustive - add the early teams I’m missing in the comment

The future will need more capable AI models. We’re removing the human bottleneck from AI R&D. Autoscience Institute

Not AI that assists machine learning scientists - AI that invents entirely new models. generating ideas → running experiments → releasing results

@AnthropicAI just highlighted us in their latest research on AI-driven scientific discovery. This is where things are heading. 🧵

Super excited for and proud of the @AutoScienceAI team. Revolutionizing AI research with AI “autoscientists”!

Proud to back @AutoScienceAI -- Eliot and team are building autonomous AI research labs for the era of machine-scale discovery 🚀 from its system medaling at a Kaggle comp to authoring/publishing a peer-reviewed paper, Autoscience is definitely one to watch.

Unbelievably thrilled to partner with @AutoScienceAI as they work to scale 100,000 AI research scientists to human-level performance and beyond.
