Scaling laws for the brain on the way...
1/ Today we announce Pleiades, a series of epigenetic foundation models (90M→7B params) trained on 1.9T tokens of human methylation & genomic data. Pleiades accurately models epigenetics for genomic track prediction, generation & neurodegenerative disease detection from cfDNA,…

Our customer @PrimaMente is using Nebius to train Pleiades, the first foundation model based on the chemical language of DNA methylation — with variants of 90M, 600M and 7B and pre-training on 1.9T tokens. At @NVIDIA #GTCParis and @VivaTech, co-founder @ravi_sola shared more.
A beautiful piece on the value and nuance of through-running, unifying suburban and metro rail systems - and a special section on the Lizzy Line in London, a true marvel in investment for public benefit and commute. Very impressed @carto_graph worksinprogress.co/issue/the-magi…
Today, we’re announcing the first major discovery made by our AI Scientist with the lab in the loop: a promising new treatment for dry AMD, a major cause of blindness. Our agents generated the hypotheses, designed the experiments, analyzed the data, iterated, even made figures…
An interesting application of multi-agents applied to real-world contexts Navigating human dynamics, this is the only project I've seen that captures the intrigue of the future today @freysa_ai freysa.ai/digital-twin?r…
