When Nvidia said they were sending me a DGX A100 for machine learning, they didn't say I had to build a room for it! Say hello to Zubi & Oompa Loompa ๐ btw. these are Maine Coons, they are a bit smaller than tigers. I am not prone to exaggeration. How big was the Cray-1 ๐ค

I really pulled out all the stops for the new version of beads_viewer (bv). The original version of bv was made in a single day and was just under 7k lines of Golang. This new version isโฆ 80k lines. I added an insane number of great features. Your agents will love it (you, too).

Iโm excited to share PROTON, a pre-trained relational transformer for neurology. ๐ง PROTON generates testable neurological hypotheses, which we evaluated across: ๐งฌ Parkinsonโs disease: genome-wide in vitro and in vivo screens ๐งซ Bipolar disorder: patient-derived brain

Well, this is a little wild. There are now over 11,000 of you here ๐ When I started posting on X, I was completely new to AI and developer growth, trying to figure things out in real-time. I'm honestly blown away that so many of you have decided to follow along, so THANK YOU

Europe should be building one new Spotify every year. A global category leader. Built from Europe. From day one. But too many founders still build for their local market first. Weโre bringing together the ones who actually think and compete global: โข 3-month full lock-in in

Multi-agent AI systems are eating single-agent architectures. But most teams have no idea how to build them. As agent systems get more complex, we're seeing a clear shift from single-agent architectures (one agent handles all tasks) to multi-agent architectures that distribute

Java developers: your Weaviate workflows are about to get way cleaner โจ After months of beta testing and community feedback, we've shipped a ground-up redesign that transforms how Java developers interact with Weaviate. Key improvements include: โข ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ

We spend hours building the perfect retrieval system, optimizing embeddings, and tuning retrieval. Then users type something vague like "how do i make this work when my api call keeps failing?" and our beautiful system breaks. The problem isn't retrieval. It's what happens

Ink is cheap. LLM tokens are expensive. So @femke_plantinga, @victorialslocum, and I wrote a long blog on Context Engineering to help reduce the token burn. It also includes a working example of an agent built using Elysia (the open source agentic RAG framework) to put the

Has Claude sped up your biology research or enabled new capabilities for your lab? Is it underperforming on specific tasks? Do you have ideas to improve its usefulness in a specific domain of biology? Share feedback here:
docs.google.com
Submit feedback about using Claude for biology. I am interested to know how you are using Claude in your research or work, what is/is not working well, and if you have any ideas for improvement.

Finally a causal formulation of spike-wave duality. Over the past couple of years I have been constantly asked about causality of brain waves. After two years of spontaneously thinking about this, I dared to put this "baby" out. Shout out to my talented collaborator

this is a nice / simple pattern for agent memory. reflect over session logs, distill preferences / feedback from actual use to update memory. been doing this w/ Claude Code for ~1-2 months and very effective. write up + code: https://t.co/CTSLKgM581
Agentic Context Engineering Great paper on agentic context engineering. The recipe: Treat your system prompts and agent memory as a living playbook. Log trajectories, reflect to extract actionable bullets (strategies, tool schemas, failure modes), then merge as append-only
