From a beer at Stanford to a frontier AI lab in Zurich: ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ I've joined Aionic Labs, alongside my work at ETH's Agentic Systems Lab! I've known the four founders as friends and colleagues for years. When they reached out about joining the team, it was an easy yes! ๐Ÿš€

You keep scaling data, model size, and compute, and suddenly models start demonstrating capabilities they weren't explicitly trained to perform. These capabilities are difficult to predict from smaller-scale experiments.

We covered post-training methods for LLMs and explored emergence and scaling laws. These topics help explain how model capabilities develop, how model behavior can be shaped, and what drives recent breakthroughs in LLMs. For anyone building with AI, understanding these foundations helps inform decisions about what to automate, how to evaluate systems, and where human oversight matters. Thanks to Nicolas Zumarraga and Patrick Langer for sharing insights from their research and real-world experience at Aionic Labs and Meta. The Building Agentic AI Systems for Industry Transformation lecture takes place every Wednesday (16:15โ€“18:00) at ETH Zurich and is led by @kev_osull, @PatrickLangerAI, @robertjakob, and Markus Kreft.

Frontier Time Series Language Models struggle with precise anomaly localization over long contexts, when useful signals might be hidden in hours of recordings. In our new paper we trained a tiny Recursive Language Model to SoTA performance on long context time series. We introduce AnomalyXL, an infinitely scalable synthetic time-series generator with programmatic ground truth answers. Training our RLM formulation on this RL environment transfers to real world anomaly detection in Software Observability, ECG and Sleep data. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

Was fun sharing the stage with @PascalBtd at AI+X, looking back at the early days of the @ETH_agent_lab and what we're building now with @aionic_labs and @seldon_tech. Thanks @ETH_AI_Center, Sรถren Fehrmann and Swisscom Ventures for having us!

Day 1.
100+ people in Zurich for the @aionic_labs launch. also launched: karaoke and our new caps. ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿงข thanks to everyone helping us give AI a sense of time. first of many. now, itโ€™s time to build! ๐Ÿš€ and yes, weโ€™re hiring. (singing skills optional)

Skin in the game. Happy to have you Timo! ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Goodbye Meta! Hello @aionic_labs! Stoked to announce that I've joined the crew over at AionicLabs, where we are putting up the first serious AI Frontier Lab based in Zurich. The past month I've been building our training infra and co-authored on FIVE papers! This team is fire!

Feeling extremely bullish about Europe after the @SPRIND AI & Robotics Summit. A personal highlight was speaking with the Swiss Ambassador to Germany, Livia Leu (@BotSchweizDE) about what we're building with @aionic_labs. The real success story to me is the @SPRIND team behind it all. It is one amazing team of highly capable, high-agency, supportive, and extremely ambitious individuals on a mission to empower our best researchers and big ideas in Europe. Theyโ€™re building a rocket ship. ๐Ÿš€ Proud to see my home country Germany supporting a team and a program with this level of ambition, and happy to see other European countries starting to adopt what SPRIND is doing. Weโ€™re ready to do our part with @aionic_labs push Europe to the next level. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

great to have all four @aionic_labs co-founders now in one room (and on X), building in Zurich.๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿš€ from an idea on a whiteboard at Stanford to a frontier AI lab in Europe and a global research community. more to come ๐Ÿ‘€ @thomaskaar @martinm_ai @PatrickLangerAI

It's about time.
We are launching Aionic Labs (@aionic_labs). ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš€ With support from SPRIN-Dโ€™s Next Frontier AI initiative, we are building a frontier AI company at the heart of Europeโ€™s leading AI ecosystem. Clinicians decide when a patient needs intervention. Factory teams catch machine problems before production stops. Operators determine which alarms demand action. These are some of the most consequential decisions in the physical economy, and they all depend on time-series data. We are developing Time-Series Language Models (TSLMs) that can understand these signals, reason over them, predict what comes next, and suggest actions in natural language. TSLMs connect sensor data with language experts use to make critical decisions. Europe is the right place to build this technology. We have world-class research, top technical talent, and decades of industrial expertise and data. Our team brings together former founders, frontier tech experience, and world-class researchers from Stanford, Harvard, ETH Agentic Systems Lab (@ETH_agent_lab), ETH AI Center (@ETH_AI_Center) and CDTM (@cdtm_munich). We have built companies, developed technology at scale, and advanced research at the frontier of AI. Over the coming months, we will: โ†’ Launch selected TSLM pilots across manufacturing, healthcare, energy, logistics, telecom, insurance, and banking. โ†’ Build an open research community around OpenTSLM (@OpenTSLM) and TimeNet. โ†’ Enable trusted data partnerships across industries. โ†’ Accelerate the Time-Series AI community in Zurich and Europe. From Zurich. For Europe. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ Join our mission and help build a Frontier AI Lab from day one. Career and pilot program links are in the comments.
