Excited to announce our new work! 🧬 Some highlights are:
- sequences likelihoods predict zero-shot fitness capabilities
- a new method to calculate pLM likelihood in O(1) instead of O(L) forward passes
- providing a causal between training data and outputs
- suggesting a new finetuning method to improve pLM capabilities

It is extremely sad that this didn't end up as an example of how the labs could cooperate/coordinate, because the stakes will be so much higher in the future.
Many have asked how they'd know if Anthropic lived up to its principles. They have their answer. I'm proud of the people beside me, and the America we were taught to be.

for all the sonnet enjoyers:))
Sonnet 4.6 has improved on benchmarks across the board.
It approaches Opus-level intelligence at a price point that makes it practical for far more tasks.

Introducing the next generation: Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4.
Claude Opus 4 is our most powerful model yet, and the world’s best coding model.
Claude Sonnet 4 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, delivering superior coding and reasoning.

Excited to share that I'll be joining @Anthropic to work on pretraining science! I've chosen to defer my Stanford PhD, where I'm honored to be supported by the Hertz Fellowship.
There's something special about the science, this place, and these people. Looking forward to joining some of my most brilliant and compassionate colleagues!

Documenting and sharing research in real-time is underrated in discussions about open science. @jainhiya_ and I think software can help change problem selection, collaboration, and funding.
We write about how and why we should create real-time, open lab notebooks.

Chinese policy on clinical trial approvals liberalized massively in the mid 2010s. A decade later the effects of this move are perceptible in where our drugs come from.

Arrived in Singapore for ICLR—excited to see old & new friends! I’ll also be at the:
- Thursday 3:30-5pm main conference poster session, presenting work led by @CadeGordonML on the subtleties of using protein LM likelihoods for fitness prediction (see 🔗👇)
- GEM workshop presenting our all-atom latent diffusion work with @nc_frey @KevinKaichuang @wilson1yan & others
(unrelatedly, I’ve never been so infatuated with an airport before…check out this gradient descent sculpture)

A simple idea to build the @UCBerkeley startup alumni network has grown beyond my wildest dreams into #AccelScholars, a tight-knit community of the most ambitious, talented, kind-hearted people, whose individual stories we’ve been fortunate to support for the past eight years

the IGI wrote a bit about our (in progress) work on building statistical tools for genome mining and discovery! check it out below ⬇️ 🔍
A new IGI article delves into the story behind our method for statistically guaranteed genome mining and discovery of genes of unknown function. The piece offers insights into the journey and motivation driving our work!

🧪 Introducing POPPER: an AI agent that automates hypothesis validation by sequentially designing and executing falsification experiments with statistical rigor.
🔥POPPER matched PhD-level scientists on complex bio hypothesis validation - while reducing time by 10-fold!

Live tweet of NanoGPT speedrun 📉 implementing the new "Harmonic Loss" with the goals of:
1. Seeing how this loss fairs on more LM experiments
2. Giving a brief glimpse into the NanoGPT library
3. Show how much open source software accelerates science
Interesting! For testing faster convergence in LLMs, I would recommend using the nanogpt speedrun repository from @kellerjordan0 , which offers well tuned baselines and can be ran for a couple dollars.

We have a similar trick available for writing out the log of harmax, which motivates a way that we can rewrite the equation into logits.
