At Edison Scientific, we build agents for scientific discovery. Training these agents often requires scaling to 1000s of simultaneous environments, for which we rely on @nvidia's recently announced NeMo Gym and RL frameworks. Read more about the integration with Aviary

Really interesting!
Training LLMs with NVFP4 is hard because FP4 has so few values that I can fit them all in this post: Β±{0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6}. But what if I told you that reducing this range even further could actually unlock better training + quantization performance? Introducing Four

Today, we're launching our first round of Edison Grants. These fast grants will provide 20,000 credits (100 Kosmos runs) and significant engineering support to researchers looking to use Kosmos and our other agents in their research. Key details: -PIs, staff scientists,

Want to scale biology transformer models with PyTorch? @nvidia BioNeMo Recipes can simplify and accelerate this process by lowering the barrier to entry for large-scale model training. Using step-by-step guides built on familiar frameworks like PyTorch and Hugging Face. In

Today I learned network engineers are using Google nano banana pro to generate fully formed network diagrams. These tools are getting good! And changing weekly! You should be periodically reviewing your tasks and testing how well AI can take over the effort.

Itβs hard to ask good questions. We gotta get over the initial hesitancy and just dive in!
I've heard from several people that they want to try Kosmos but can't figure out what to ask. Here are some notes on how to prompt it: Firstly, start by just giving it a research objective you're working on currently. Think of Kosmos as a collaborator. Like a collaborator (and

Why does the ChatGPT UI jump users to the bottom of the response instead of the top? Would be a huge quality-of-life improvement.

Making "AI Scientists" has become a hot topic lately. The first reference I could find was from 2008. The term has been used for 20 years! Like "Adam," an AI Scientist robot for studying yeast was published in 2009. I wrote a short post about the term and what it means now.

ChatGPT bug that's driving me crazy: if you start a chat with no text and simply a PDF upload, the chat is just named "New Chat" It seems chats have to have some user-entered text in order to name themselves...

Cutting PhD spots is not the way for a country to win in a more competitive world.
an absolute shame. @harvard cutting PhD admissions "The Organismic and Evolutionary Biology department will shrink its class size by roughly 75 percent to three new Ph.D. students [...] Molecular and Cellular Biology will reduce its figure to four new students, and Chemistry and

I think folks will do a lot of interesting work on Spark. Really cool work here! Personal health assistant on your desk.
since the day it was announced, i've been dying to get my hands on DGX Spark; a small but powerful machine i can put on my desk to run latest open models of almost any size. thanks to @nvidia, the dream came true a few weeks ago. look at this cutie sitting on my desk at NYU
