What really sits behind an #AI #agent? The model is only one part of the system. Tools, memory, guardrails, orchestration, etc... are what help turn raw model capability into something useful. A few thoughts on the AI agent #harness: dvitsios.org/2026/07/31/agen…

#AI has made starting work almost free. But...we are producing far more work than we can realistically supervise. The next frontier in AI may not be intelligence. It may be #reliability. I explore this idea and a concept I call #cognitive gates: 👉 dvitsios.org/2026/03/11/the-…

I’m grateful yet again to some of the books that kept me company several months during this year 🙏 Whenever I read a book, I still feel like a kid, opening a new ‘door’, over-excited about what I’m going to discover (or create) in this new world.. Happy Christmas!🎄

Excited to share our latest preprint where we describe how diverse ancestral representation in sequencing databases improves genetic intolerance estimates! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Diverse ancestral representation improves genetic intolerance metrics

Rapidly expanding genomic databases have enabled the identification of regions in the human genome intolerant to variation and thus likely relevant to human disease. However, despite their unpreced...

I am thrilled to be presenting #MILTON at #ASHG24 ⭐. Come and learn more about this machine learning tool on 6th Nov, 10:45 am-11:00 am in the Four Seasons Ballroom 2&3 at Colorado Convention Center. See you soon!
Keren Carss@kerencarss12 Sep 2024
Early disease detection = better patient outcomes. Machine learning tool MILTON can predict disease well before symptoms present. Out yesterday in @NatureGenet, using @uk_biobank data. Congratulations CGR team, esp @manik_garg_1 @marcinkarpinski @SlavePetrovski and @dimvitsios!
