For a time, it seemed to be the type of transaction that writes the headlines. Nvidia, whose chips have powered a lot of the AI boom, reportedly lining up an eye-popping $100 billion investment into OpenAI, ChatGPT’s parent company. Big money, big ambition, big future. And then – seemingly out of nowhere – the deal was just ……
How close can an open model get to AlphaFold3-level accuracy when it matches training data, model scale and inference budget? ByteDance has introduced Protenix-v1, a comprehensive AlphaFold3 (AF3) reproduction for biomolecular structure prediction, released with code and model parameters under Apache 2.0. The model targets AF3-level performance across protein, DNA, RNA and ligand structures while…
In this tutorial, we walk through an advanced, end-to-end exploration of Polyfactory, focusing on how we can generate rich, realistic mock data directly from Python type hints. We start by setting up the environment and progressively build factories for data classes, Pydantic models, and attrs-based classes, while demonstrating customization, overrides, calculated fields, and the generation…
Generating publication-ready illustrations is a labor-intensive bottleneck in the research workflow. While AI scientists can now handle literature reviews and code, they struggle to visually communicate complex discoveries. A research team from Google and Peking University introduce new framework called ‘PaperBanana‘ which is changing that by using a multi-agent system to automate high-quality academic diagrams…
