Gave a talk to Machine Learning @ Berkeley on benchmarking frontier models on spatial biology. Why understanding how assays work is important, what verifiability might look like with messy biology + infrastructure challenges running agentic evals at scale.

Today we're announcing that hybrid agentic inference is coming to Perplexity Computer. Computer can split tasks between a local model running on your machine and frontier models in the cloud. This keeps private data on your device and maximizes token efficiency. Coming soon.

Alexandr Wang (Alexandr Wang) started Scale AI to help machine learning teams label data faster. It started as a simple API for human labor, but behind the scenes, he was tackling a much bigger problem: how to turn messy, real-world data into something AI could learn from. Today, that early idea powers a multi-hundred-million-dollar engine behind America's AI infrastructure—fueling everything from Fortune 500 workflows to real-time military planning. Just last week, Meta agreed to invest over $14 billion in Scale, valuing the company at $29 billion. Alexandr joined us on Lightcone Podcast to share how Scale evolved from a scrappy YC startup into the backbone of some of the world's most advanced AI systems, how he thinks about competition with Chinese AI labs, and what it takes to build infrastructure that shapes the frontier. 01:15 - Alexandr’s early days at YC 07:25 - Dialing in on what worked 10:24 - Model improvements, evals 19:18 - The techno-optimist view of work 27:47 - The turning points for Scale AI 37:37 - Agentic workflows 41:55 - “Humanity’s Last Exam” 47:48 - U.S. vs China in AI and hard tech 56:57 - How to be hardcore

[1/16] The real world is large, and we want our AI models to operate on the scale of reality. Over the past two years, my colleagues and I have developed fVDB, a deep learning framework for large-scale, high performance spatial intelligence. We finally announced this work at SIGGRAPH and have released the framework in early access. Here’s a small tour of what fVDB is, and what we’ve used it to do.

We all like to think we’re too smart to be brainwashed, but mind control isn’t about being 'weak'; it’s about how our biology is being hacked. I sat down with Steven Hassan to discuss how these systems actually work and why nobody is truly immune. Check out the full conversation on the WhatNow Podcast.

Denis Noble: "I think it's been unfortunate that philosophy and science have diverged." Why reductionist analysis in biology is a philosophical mistake: Michael Levin to Denis Noble: What have you learned from eastern philosophy that has informed your interest in biology? Denis Noble: There is no philosophical basis for saying that the only way to look at living organisms is through reductionist analysis. It is also a philosophical point that you cannot have living organisms without levels of interactions. (paraphrased snippets) More in the clip. Link to full podcast below on What Biology Needs to Advance Longevity.

“ My body parts are no longer female because my biology changed after taking testosterone” WHaT! You are so fake and gross! What you are saying is so insanely transphobic! You will actual hurt so many trans men by implying that our biology and our body parts change after one year of testosterone! You are so dangerous. I am thirty one years on T and I had vaginal atrophy almost take me out! If the doctor did not understand that I am a biological female with a uterus then they would have never been able to save me! I am so pissed after all the work we have done to educate our doctors about our bodies and understanding how biology matters, some young “ trans man” is going to completely destroy everything we have built to have healthy lives. Denying your biology is actually anti-trans on so many levels! Now you see why many of us are pushing back on this insane ideology 😡🤡 #transsexual #biology #female #male #transition #testosterone #mentalhealth #medical #truth #honesty

Andon Labs' Real-World AI Evals: Claude calls the FBI, AI CEOs, price cartels, Butter-Bench, & Luna Andon Labs cofounders Lukas Petersson and Axel Backlund explain why dollar-denominated evals reveal what traditional benchmarks miss, how Claude ended up reporting a $2/day vending machine fee to the FBI, why long-horizon agents spiral in weird ways, what happens when agents lie, form price cartels, and compete with each other, and why the future of AI safety may depend on testing models in messy real-world environments instead of clean benchmark sandboxes.

🔥In Magma, we talked a lot about spatial/temporal intelligence beyond verbal intelligencen as advocated by Dr. Fei-Fei Li. So how to interpret it? Today I am happy to announce a new demo Magma-Gaming: 👉 Rather than asking LLMs to write game code, we further ask the model to PLAY the game. A simple game like moving to the target in a 2D grid still requires precise action grounding and planning capability, yet challenges the most advanced VLMs and even GPT-4o-mini model. Magma, born with stronger spatial understanding and reasoning ability, significantly outperforms the counterparts and achieves much higher scores in zero-shot manner. This result pinpoints the huge potential of building multimodal agentic models endowed with both verbal and spatial inteligence! Also, I believe this simple demo gives you a better hints to understand what is spatial intelligence, and why it is important!

Agents are finally starting to work in biology. We’ve partnered with Anthropic and major biotech vendors - Vizgen, AtlasXOmics, Takara, 10x Genomics - to build a tool that allows scientists to steer their own analysis with natural language. Raw spatial data to publication quality figures. Our team believes this will soon be the standard way biologists interact with data. Spatial biology agents look a bit different from coding products: - tailored to the molecular details of each kit type - run in sandboxes on very large machines - orchestrate data infra, eg. bioinformatics workflows, with tool calls - build graphical analysis notebooks to communicate results Detailed breakdown of engineering decisions, product philosophy and concrete flows follows:
