Research published by Google Deepmind reveals OpenAI Strawberry's approach. Searches at inference through potential responses to reason better. “test-time compute can be used to outperform a 14× larger model.”
De novo protein design is great, but nature has millions of proteins- why not repurpose them? Introducing Raygun, a new approach to protein design. It allows you to miniaturize, magnify or modify any protein. We synthesized miniaturized variants of eGFP and mCherry! 1/
A few hours ago, Meta released the world's most advanced segmentation model: SAM 2. And people have been busy executing god-like tasks with it. The 11 most mind-blowing examples:
Happy to see Umol published: nature.com/articles/s4146… If you want to predict the structure of protein-ligand complexes and avoid being sued by Google or Nvidia - we are here for you. Great work with @AtharvaKelkar Andrea Guljas @CecClementi and @FrankNoeBerlin
New Zealand agritech startup Metrovate has raised $1 million to develop its precision plant growth “biostimulant”. startupdaily.net/topic/funding/…
OpenFold paper is now out in @naturemethods. Timely. I’ll say more about AF3 at the end of this thread, but first I wanted to highlight what’s new since our initial release. (1/9)
Mixing AI and machine learning with agricultural science, Metrovate is developing a platform technology that can help farmers stimulate their plant growth and improve immunity while being environmentally safe; Full story: tinyurl.com/2d8p76uz #biotech #innovation #AI

Today, I was explaining in the lab, my strategy on training people is to create the "flow", and avoid "anxiety" and "boredom". If your skill and challenge do not match, that cause either anxiety or boredom.
Move over mitochondria, a new organelle called the nitroplast is here. In a new Science study, researchers report that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga. Learn more ⬇️ 📄: scim.ag/6BE #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/6BF
If your run an academic lab that works on signal transduction in plants and are interested in having commercial outcomes on agriculture I am interested in collabs send me a message 😀
Oke, the AlphaFlow paper is awesome: AlphaFold Meets Flow Matching for Generating Protein Ensembles arxiv.org/abs/2402.04845 Just watch how AlphaFlow's ensemble reproduces details of MD. Weights + code github.com/bjing2016 We have it in the reading group on Mon 11am EST! 1/2
A nice way to end the week with a pipette gifted to me by the awesome facilities team at my new collocation lab 😀
