six months ago, we started C5R to build physical spaces where models can do R&D. in twelve weeks, we had our first facility up. since then, we've brought together an incredible team of friends and former colleagues. a lot of people helped make this happen. thank you.
In 12 weeks, we built a research facility that is run entirely by AI. AI designs, executes, and observes experiments end-to-end across biology, chemistry, and materials science. We’re introducing SciUniverse: a benchmark that measures AI’s ability to do real-world scientific research.

You can now DJ with 180db. Because every window is already its own playback with waveform visualization, the DJ mode came together easily: decks A and B, and a simple crossfade mixer. The idea is to allow you to prototype a DJ set: quickly test transitions and non-trivial combinations. For example, I have a digital copy of every 12" I own, so it's an easy way to try things out without digging through crates. Long ago I spent a lot of time in Serato, Rekordbox and Traktor. They're serious tools, great in their own right. But sometimes I just want to try two records together. The main thing is already there: listen to music, mix it, play with it.
180db now has a Crossfade Mixer: route any window to deck A or B and mix between them.

I love listening to music in all kinds of forms – vinyl, tape, CDs... and audio files. But I couldn’t find a MacOS audio player that I like, so me and my friends have decided to build our own. advanced-research.net/180db

The world's data centers can't move fast enough. We build the agents to fix that. Today Build launches with $8.5M from @IndexVentures, @Pebblebed (co-founders of OpenAI and Meta AI Research) and angels including the CFO of OpenAI and CTO of Blackstone. It's time to Build.

Hey @v0 — could you please bring the inline prompting back for the preview or possibly just make the text box active when an element is selected 🙏
