I just sequenced a human genome to 30× coverage... entirely at home. As far as I know, this is the first time this has been done. I didn’t step foot in a lab once. Every step - from saliva collection, to running the sequencer - took place in a single room with a dining table + kitchenette. Six weeks ago, I had never done wet lab biology before. I used an Oxford Nanopore P2 Solo - the only commercially available sequencing device portable enough to do 30x human genome sequencing at home. Biggest takeaway - I could build something that combined software, hardware, and molecular biology far faster than I thought was possible. I can name >100 specific instances where AI helped me solve a technical problem that would previously have blocked me because I lacked access to a domain expert. For example: how do I save my sequencing run when my DNA extraction yield is 4x lower than I need it to be, and I have this limited set of reagents to hand? To make this work, I had to navigate multiple disciplines: - writing software to monitor sequencing runs and orchestrate remote GPU infra for basecalling - learning + executing 5 hour long molecular biology protocols - building a hardware device to quantify DNA concentration Apologies for the hyperbole, but I feel super lucky to be living in 2026. A few weeks ago I decided to sequence a human genome to 30x at home. Then I actually did it. And I did it really quickly.show more

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a... dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024. The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state. But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.show more

Diffusion models are an amazing tool for cofolding, they... allow us to predict a protein and the molecule bound to it at once. But they are not exactly fast and require a lot of denoising steps to get accurate predictions. So we distilled ours. Meet DeCAF-Pearl: the first flow map model for all-atom cofolding. Instead of inching along the denoising trajectory, a flow map learns to jump across it. DeCAF-Pearl runs structure generation ~5x faster than Pearl, our SOTA model, while still maintaining the performance of the teacher model. That speed up allows us to run larger experiments and generate more synthetic data to improve our models. Getting there meant reparameterizing into noise-level space to stabilize gradients, committing to clean-structure prediction to keep the rigid-alignment loss biomolecules needed, and building DeCAF-Search, one steering algorithm for every compute budget.

You don't need a GPU for fast studio grade... voice cloning anymore. Qwen3 TTS (1.7B Q4_K_M) + mainline llama.cpp is officially the fastest way to generate zero shot voice clones using 100% pure CPU execution. Following up on my last post where we ran the Q8 model on a GPU, we just took local C++ voice synthesis a massive step further. The open source community quantized Alibaba's SOTA Qwen3 TTS model down to Q4_K_M GGUF, completely freeing local audio pipelines from dedicated graphics hardware. Here is the real world benchmark and hardware breakdown of running SOTA voice cloning on CPU: # Architecture & Model Setup Using Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base-Q4_K_M.gguf paired with the 8 bit multimodal projector (mmproj-Q8_0.gguf), llama.cpp executes the entire pipeline in pure C++. No PyTorch, no CUDA dependencies, and no VRAM bottlenecks. # Real-World Memory Footprint - Baseline RAM: 1.6 GB system idle. - Peak Generation RAM: 8 GB RAM during active voice synthesis. - Requirement: Any basic machine with at least 8 GB of system RAM can run this easily. # Real World CPU Benchmarks - Google Colab Free Tier (Throttled 2 Core CPU): Synthesizes a 5 sec studio quality audio clip (~8 words) in 45 seconds. - Modern Consumer CPU (Intel i5/i7 13th/14th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7000/9000): generation should drop to 5 to 20 seconds (nearly 1:1 real-time generation speed!). # Zero Shot Voice Cloning Quality Pass any 5 to 20 second .wav audio sample to the C++ engine using the --tts-speaker-file flag. It yields clean, natural sounding cloned speech with virtually zero quality loss compared to unquantized FP16 weights. To make testing seamless, I built an updated zero config Google Colab notebook. It pulls the official pre built llama.cpp CPU binaries (zero compilation time!) launches a live Gradio web app right in your browser. Record a 5 second clip from your mic (or drop a .mp3, .wav file), type text, and generate cloned audio on CPU. Native C++ audio models are making edge based, offline AI voice agents a reality. Links to the free Q4 CPU Colab notebook and the Q4_K_M GGUF HuggingFace repository are in the replies below! Which models have you been running on your CPUs?

You can't 3D reconstruct glass from images... ...WRONG! Thanks... for video diffusion, now just about anything is possible! Introducing...Diffusion Knows Transparency (DKT) Transparent and reflective objects usually break robot vision and photogrammetry pipelines because they don't follow the "solid object" rules standard cameras expect. DKT is a new AI model that repurposes the "internal physics engine" found in video generation models to solve this problem. Researchers took a massive video diffusion model (WAN) and fine-tuned it using a custom-built synthetic dataset to turn it into a high-precision depth sensor. To train the AI, they built the first massive synthetic video library of transparent objects, 1.32 million frames of perfectly labeled glass and metal objects in motion. Without ever seeing a "real" labeled video of glass during training, the model (DKT) outperformed all previous specialized systems on real-world benchmarks (ClearPose, DREDS). They created a "lightweight" 1.3B parameter version that runs fast enough (0.17s per frame) to be used on actual robot hardware. Two reasons I find this project important: 1. It further proves that synthetic data will be essential for training the next generation vision models. 2. In real-world robotic tests, using DKT's depth maps nearly doubled the success rate of robot arms trying to pick up objects on tricky reflective or translucent surfaces. At home robots will need to interact with these types of objects on a daily basis. Check out the project page here: Code is LIVE! #Computervision #Robotics #AIshow more

A New Era with V3🪄 V3's new engine introduces... significant advancements in output generation. Unlike V2, where the multi-model system processed prompts to produce a single output, V3 is designed to generate multiple outputs and logically link them together. This enhancement effectively removes limitations on output size, enabling more complex and expansive results. Key Features Seamless Multi-Output Generation: V3 has been trained to generate separate outputs and connect them logically. This advancement ensures that there are no longer any limitations on output size. Intelligent Image Creation: V3 improves image generation with better tools, allowing the AI to create as many images as needed and place them within the project’s context. It supports various formats like PNG, JPEG, SVG, and GLB. Web-Integrated Intelligence: V3 can now search the web for documentation and data, providing real-time context and up-to-date references. For example, if you run a restaurant and want to update your website, simply ask Alchemist AI to “generate this website in a more modern style,” and it will update all content accordingly. Improved Creativity and Output Quality: V3's creative capacity has significantly increased. Simple prompts now generate more complete and refined results, with the system efficiently combining multiple elements into cohesive outputs.show more

Google dropped a new AI paper called LUMIERE. It's... remarkably flexible, supporting video inpainting, image-to-video, AND stylized video generation tasks. Say hello to “space-time diffusion” for video generation! Now what the heck does that mean exactly?! 🌐⏳ → TL;DR it utilizes a “Space-Time UNet” architecture that generates the full duration of the video in one pass, rather than generating distant keyframes and interpolating between them like prior works. Because the computation is done in this “compressed space-time representation” to generate the full clip at once, it's far more temporally consistent. → Another benefit of generating the full video at once is that you can “direct” the video generation, making it easier to hand off to other models/tasks without having to stitch together partial solutions. You can condition generations on additional inputs, meaning you get the full stack of AI video capabilities – from video inpainting to image-to-video and beyond. → New SOTA for AI video generation? User study results in the paper suggest human evaluators preferred Lumiere over Runway Gen-2, Pika Labs, and Stable Video Diffusion in terms of quality, text alignment AND motion. But as always, we need to get hands-on with this tech when Google *actually* decides to ship it. → Could this end up inside YouTube? Y’all know i’m obsessed with blending reality and imagination – so it’s the video inpainting tech I'm most excited about. I really hope this model finds its way into YouTube's Generative AI efforts, and based on their prior announcements and the list of acknowledgments in the paper I think it might! 🤞🏽 Links: 🔗Paper: 🔗Project:show more

Eleven years ago I founded my first startup. One... of the first things I did was to get a desk at the startup coworking space at Google Campus in Old Street. Through that community, I met so many of the people who would shape my career and learned so much about what the startup ethos is truly about. As we have scaled Attio, we've partnered with Google Cloud to build on top of the mind blowing technologies they've created like Spanner, Colossus and Gemini to power a new generation of CRM for our customers. For all these reasons, Google is deeply woven into my startup journey and that makes today's announcement so special to me. I'm beyond excited to announce our $52 million Series B, led by Michael McBride and the GV, along with the continued support of our incredible partners from Redpoint , Point Nine , Balderton Capital and 01A. We're entering a software renaissance driven by AI and we're unbelievably excited about continuing the hard work of delivering the next generation of CRM. We're building a truly AI-native platform that can run code, integrate anywhere and bring unified context for the next generation of autonomous workflows. None of this would have been possible without the support of the more than 5,000 customers who have already chosen Attio as the backbone of their GTM stack. Your belief in our vision is what has made this possible and I can't wait to share more about some of the incredible functionality that's still to come. I'm incredibly grateful for the continued support of alex bard , Patrick Chase, Ricardo Sequerra Amram, Daniel Waterhouse and dick costolo whose belief in Attio from the earliest days has been so essential to our progress so far and to my co-founder Nicolas Sharp, for the many sleepless nights and challenging decisions that got us this far. We've got so much still to build, and we're always hiring, so if you are interested in being part of reinventing the core of the GTM stack, please take a look at For now though, it's back to building!show more

Imagine making 2D concept art for a game world... –pressing a button – and suddenly you can walk around an interactive 3D world. That's what Google DeepMind's new paper Genie 2 can do – simulate virtual worlds, including the consequences of any action (e.g. unlock door, jump, swim etc). Right now Genie 2 can generate consistent worlds for up to a minute. And this world model seems to generate larger 3D worlds than what World Labs showcased yesterday. Plus they're dynamic vs. static worlds – the foliage moves in the wind, the water ripples etc. Not quite ready for prime time, but promising on two fronts: 1. For game developers: enabling rapid prototyping of interactive experiences straight from concept art 2. For AI research: providing unlimited, diverse 3D environments for training and testing AI agents The race for building the biggest, baddest world model is very much on. Meanwhile, all I can think is "if only Stadia was still around!"show more
