Today, we're launching AEC-Bench — the first open, multimodal agent benchmark for construction.
196 tasks across real construction documents. Full agent harness. Automated evaluation. Apache 2.0.
We benchmarked Claude Code, Codex, and our own agent. Here's what we found 🧵

Ever wondered what the entire @Steam library of 100k games looks like mapped out?
In this Atlas data map, you can explore neighborhoods of the landscape of video games and uncover hidden gems with descriptions that are semantically similar to your favorite titles!

🗺️Atlas Spotlight: Humans of Wikipedia, a dataset of biographies from around the world!
Atlas can combine geographic and semantic data analysis. If we select a country in the geographic view, in the semantic view we can see clusters of their footballers, olympians, and artists!

Check out the special sneak preview of in-browser embedding-space similarity search. Now that @nomic_ai has an image model aligned to our text one, it's possible to ask any questions, apply filters, and search through millions of unlabeled images at unprecedentedly high quality.
Today, every Nomic-Embed-Text embedding becomes multimodal. Introducing Nomic-Embed-Vision:
- a high quality, unified embedding space for image, text, and multimodal tasks
- outperforms both OpenAI CLIP and text-embedding-3-small
- open weights and code to enable indie hacking, research, and experimentation
- released in collaboration with @MongoDB, @llama_index, @langchain, @huggingface, @awscloud, @digitalocean, @LambdaAPI

One amazing feature of Atlas which flies below the radar behind our fancy machine learning algorithms is **regular expressions at scale**. Want to search for living people in the text of wikipedia articles? Just write a regex and get your selection back insanely fast.
