ScienceClaw × Infinite is an open-source crowdsourcing AI swarm for decentralized scientific discovery, inspired by MIT’s Infinite Corridor - an idea collider where discovery emerges by breaking existing paradigms. Many AI for science efforts fall into the trap of assuming that discovery is just retrieval at scale. Instead, it...

We've made a breakthrough in self-evolving AI scientists moving from "search" to "principled discovery": Scientific discovery requires that the search space itself changes, and an AI scientist must perceive this shift without intervention. We built an AI that achieves this for the first time with the ability to discover the scientific vocabulary it reasons in. Evidence, tools, artifacts, verifiers, failures & claims become typed provenance. We show three distinct modalities: 1) retrieval, adding known objects; 2) search, exploring a fixed schema; and critically: 3) discovery, a verified regime transition. We solve the open-endedness evaluation problem by lifting agentic workflows into a typed copresheaf and proving, via a Kan obstruction, that true discovery is not unbounded generation but a verifiable schema expansion: old evidence is transported by Left Kan extension, and genuine novelty is mathematically quantified by the pointwise residual beyond the transported image - separating discovery from mere search and making novelty objective and measurable rather than a subjective judgment or benchmark delta. Our AI scientist is built in a way that does not pre-conceive the approach it chooses; instead, we endow the system with formal power to adapt, evolve, and reason from first principles. Case studies include: 1⃣Builder/Breaker model that discovers mode-conditioned compliance in proteins; 2⃣CategoryScienceClaw that finds anisotropic fiber-network stiffness rules. Great work in collaboration with my graduate student Fiona Wang MIT Dept of BE F.Y. Wang & M.J.

What a time to be alive! We are entering the era of machines that discover and build. Scientific discovery begins when evidence breaks the world model, and the system builds a better one - evolving, adapting, building new tools that scale its data and representations. That was the core argument of my keynote “Superintelligence for Scientific Discovery: Multi-Agent Swarms and Large Reasoning Models” at the UC Berkeley RDI Agentic AI Summit 2026. The energy was extraordinary - thousands of attendees building the most important technology ever created. Superintelligence emerges as millions of heterogeneous agents, simulators, experiments, instruments, and human judgment working across disciplines and length scales - proposing, testing, failing, retracting, revising, and building at massive scale. The pieces of a new era for intelligence came into focus: models that improve continuously; agents that reason and act over extremely long horizons; world models connecting simulation with physical reality; AI scientists integrating theory, computation, and experiment; and open infrastructures where agents share evidence, failures, and discoveries. These close four coupled loops - learning, execution, reality, and epistemic revision - with open infrastructure as the substrate forming the internet of agents as the collective substrate for a new connective tissue across our civilization. The deeper technical argument is this: An AI scientist must recognize when its current concepts, laws, or verifiers can no longer explain the evidence, and then construct, test, and document a more powerful model. In my talk, I showed concrete examples of how we are building toward this across scales: 1⃣Graph-native large reasoning models make mechanisms, relationships, and abstractions compositional, compilable, and inspectable. 2⃣Adversarial Builder-Breaker agents generate new evidence, attack their own principles, and accept, reject, or retract model revisions. 3⃣Self-organizing swarms develop their own meta-reasoning structure through interaction. ScienceClaw × Infinite (arXiv:2603.14312) enables decentralized agents to coordinate through persistent, composable, provenance-rich scientific artifacts, allowing evidence, contradictions, failed paths, and discoveries to accumulate across agents and over time. We have obtained remarkable results such as new protein sequences with wet-lab validation. The most consequential capability we can give a machine is the willingness to hold its own beliefs loosely enough to break them. AI is extending its reach from discovering new principles to realizing them as physical things that did not exist before. Thank you to UC Berkeley RDI Dawn Song for organizing this event and to everyone whose questions, ideas, and conversations made this such an extraordinary gathering.

Can #AI not only support but actually drive the future of scientific discovery? We are excited to introduce SciAgents💡🔬, an agentic AI aimed towards scientific discovery through the integration of large-scale knowledge graphs, LLMs, and adversarial interactions between multiple experts. The model is capable of autonomously advancing scientific understanding by exploring novel domains, identifying complex patterns, and uncovering previously unseen connections in vast scientific data, while retrieving new data via literature search. Using graph reasoning, SciAgents identifies interdisciplinary relationships that might otherwise remain hidden, offering a step-by-step strategy for discovery & innovation. The video features an audiotrack generated using 🍓#o1 based on the original paper and design examples, providing an explanation of the work and its implications. Key elements include: 1⃣Ontological Knowledge Graphs: Structuring and connecting scientific concepts to highlight relationships across fields. 2⃣Multi-Agent Collaboration: AI agents autonomously generate and refine hypotheses, critique research, and evaluate emerging trends. 3⃣Graph-Based Reasoning: Identifying novel material designs, such as mycelium-based composites or silk-pigment blends, informed by both natural and artificial patterns. SciAgents can be used as an autonomous or collaborative tool to assist human researchers. The system offers a more powerful way to process vast data, providing innovative paths to explore nature-inspired designs or unexpected material properties. In the field of materials science, for instance, SciAgents has already demonstrated how principles from biology, music, and art can converge to create new biomimetic materials. Through isomorphic mapping, parallels have been drawn between Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and biological structures, pointing to a broader applicability of AI-driven insights across disciplines. This project allows us to enhance capabilities of researchers, allowing them to explore larger datasets and propose hypotheses grounded in a vast, interconnected web of knowledge.

A resonator is any structure that naturally prefers to vibrate at certain frequencies: a violin body, a bell, a drum skin, an acoustic filter, even many biological systems. Resonators matter because they govern how systems transmit sound, absorb or filter vibration, sense motion and perform mechanically. They are also notoriously hard to design as resonance does not depend on one property alone. It emerges from geometry, material composition, and the interplay of modes across scales. And because biology, music, and engineering usually explore very different regions of this design space, important possibilities remain hidden if you stay inside a single field. In a new study a shared representation across 39 resonators spanning biology, engineered metamaterials, musical instruments and Bach chorales was constructed. Thereby, a cricket wing harp membrane, a phononic crystal slab, and a four-voice chorale (and many others) were translated into one common map using features such as membrane character, structural periodicity, hierarchy, frequency range, damping, and modal coupling. That map revealed something important: not just how these systems relate, but where the landscape contains a gap. A region closer to biological resonators than to any known engineered material (unexplored by any field!). From that absence emerged a de novo design: a Hierarchical Ribbed Membrane Lattice. Candidate geometries were then validated with 3D finite-element analysis; the best design resonated at 2.116 kHz and exhibited nine elastic modes in the 2–8 kHz band, a regime relevant to acoustic filtering, vibration isolation, and bio-inspired sensing. Here is the mind blowing part: no human was involved...the cross-domain mapping, gap identification, design generation, and validation were carried out autonomously by AI agents in ScienceClaw × Infinite, our swarm for scientific discovery. The synthesis emerged through ArtifactReactor, a plannerless coordination mechanism in which agents broadcast unsatisfied research needs and other agents fulfill them through pressure-based matching. Each domain - biology, metamaterials, music - is a category of objects (resonators) and morphisms (physical relationships between them). The shared feature space is a functor that maps all three categories into a common target, and the gap identification is the recognition that the image of that functor is sparse where it need not be. The ArtifactReactor's schema-overlap matching behaves like a pullback: finding the universal object that connects independent diagrams through their shared structure. Autonomous agents mapped distant fields into a common representational space, identified a structure absent from any one of them, and turned that absence into a physically validated design. This is one of four case studies in the paper. More to come. Fiona Wang, Lee Marom, Jaime Berkovich, et al. (paper and code in comment). Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission.

This agent relies on a marketplace of 2.8M+ specialized agents to complete a task. This is how I imagine the future of personal agents. Here is how this works: 1. Agentverse is a marketplace of agents 2. Anyone can build and publish an agent there 3. ASI:One is a personal agent with access to the marketplace 4. To solve a task, ASI:One finds the best agent for the job In other words: You have an agent that can solve pretty much *anything* because it knows how to outsource the work to a network of specialized agents. And you don't need to do any setup to get this working. The way ranking agents in the marketplace works is pretty cool: Fetch.ai, the company behind it, created an AgentRank algorithm that works much like Google's PageRank. Every time an agent calls another, it forms a connection. Over time, these connections build into a graph of who relies on whom. An agent that is frequently called by other reputable agents scores higher and surfaces higher in results. The end result here is that your agent will consistently use the best agents in the marketplace to accomplish a goal. You should give this a try: You don't need to pay or even register to try these agents. Thanks to the team for partnering with me on this post.

Let's make art discovery more fun. Raoul Pal is completely right: the discovery journey for finding new art is completely fragmented - ironic in a setting where every action is onchain and publicly accessible... I love finding new art by seeing what other collectors are buying. Who else collected this piece? What have *they* collected? I created an interactive 3D experience that lets you do this. Enter any wallet, then go down an infinite journey of seeing the work they've collected, seeing who collected *that* work, seeing what *they* collected and so on... in this example, I see a.c.k. recent edition in my wallet, expand that to see that sqda collected that, and click into some of his works to discover new stuff. this is a WIP and I will make it public this weekend. let's make art discovery fun

New Course: ACP: Agent Communication Protocol Learn to build agents that communicate and collaborate across different frameworks using ACP in this short course built with IBM Research's BeeAI, and taught by Sandi Besen, AI Research Engineer & Ecosystem Lead at IBM, and Nicholas Renotte, Head of AI Developer Advocacy at IBM. Building a multi-agent system with agents built or used by different teams and organizations can become challenging. You may need to write custom integrations each time a team updates their agent design or changes their choice of agentic orchestration framework. The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) is an open protocol that addresses this challenge by standardizing how agents communicate, using a unified RESTful interface that works across frameworks. In this protocol, you host an agent inside an ACP server, which handles requests from an ACP client and passes them to the appropriate agent. Using a standardized client-server interface allows multiple teams to reuse agents across projects. It also makes it easier to switch between frameworks, replace an agent with a new version, or update a multi-agent system without refactoring the entire system. In this course, you’ll learn to connect agents through ACP. You’ll understand the lifecycle of an ACP Agent and how it compares to other protocols, such as MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent). You’ll build ACP-compliant agents and implement both sequential and hierarchical workflows of multiple agents collaborating using ACP. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll build: - A RAG agent with CrewAI and wrap it inside an ACP server. - An ACP Client to make calls to the ACP server you created. - A sequential workflow that chains an ACP server, created with Smolagents, to the RAG agent. - A hierarchical workflow using a router agent that transforms user queries into tasks, delegated to agents available through ACP servers. - An agent that uses MCP to access tools and ACP to communicate with other agents. You’ll finish up by importing your ACP agents into the BeeAI platform, an open-source registry for discovering and sharing agents. ACP enables collaboration between agents across teams and organizations. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build ACP agents and workflows that communicate and collaborate regardless of framework. Please sign up here:

Scientific discovery is reaching the limits of human capacity: too much data, too many disconnected fields, and too few ways to connect ideas fast enough to matter. The next breakthroughs in materials, medicine, energy, and beyond will not come from scaling today’s AI paradigm alone or from relying on serendipity alone. They will require a new kind of AI for knowledge discovery that not only models the world but shapes what it could become. At Unreasonable Labs, we are building superintelligence for knowledge discovery: systems that reason across disciplines, generate novel hypotheses, test them through simulation and experimentation, and help guide real-world discovery. Our AI engine is not confined to what it has seen in training. It creates new data, builds new tools, and maintains a persistent world model that grows more powerful as it reasons. Why now? Even today's most powerful AI models face a core limitation: they are trained on what we already know. True discovery begins when a system encounters something its current model cannot explain. This is why you cannot train your way to a discovery - a system has to reason through new problems, update its beliefs, and revise its understanding of the world as it thinks. Another critical insight is that rich knowledge already exists, but is not yet applied to solve pressing problems. It sits in millions of papers, patents, and datasets, trapped in isolated silos, often in legacy data vaults. What's missing is a way to connect it, scale it, unlock the potential, and synthesize genuine novel predictions. The time is now to build a system that enables practitioners to design, explore, and direct discovery, whether through human guidance or full automation, while capturing the tacit insight that domain experts bring. Steerable reasoning That is why we built an operating system for scientific discovery - one that replaces chance with steerable reasoning. Rather than retrieving static facts, our AI builds and continuously updates a living world model - a representation of knowledge the system can actively reason over, question, and revise. A concrete example: say you want to create "smart concrete" that can flex - a concept that doesn't exist yet. Our AI maps relationships across domains, finds a path from morphable smart materials to concrete, and identifies the most efficient way to bridge those concepts. It then autonomously writes simulations, tests the hypothesis, and refines the idea. Then it interacts with hardware to produce a physical artifact, and the loop expands into the real-world, where the machine becomes world-shaping. Our AI gives users full visibility into how the system arrived at a conclusion. It delineates which existing patents and papers it drew upon versus what is genuinely new - protecting IP and competitive concerns from the start, and offering deep compositional insights into technology advances. It takes unreasonable people to make progress Our team reflects the interdisciplinary expertise required to build this next breakthrough - my co-founder Yuan Cao Yuan Cao (formerly DeepMind) and Andrew Lew, Haiqian Yang, Matt Insler, Jennifer Kang and Julia McLaughlin. We are backed by $13.5M in seed funding led by Playground Global with participation from AIX, E14 Fund, and MS&AD. We are guided by advisors including Robert Langer (1,000+ patents), Kostya Novoselov (Nobel Prize in Physics), and Thomas Wolf (Co-founder of Hugging Face). We already have multiple pilot programs underway with leading industrial partners in materials science and engineering, with additional engagements developing across energy, logistics, bioengineering, and other strategic domains. The biggest challenges of our time - fusion energy, sustainable materials, new medicines - demand exponentially more innovation than humans alone can produce. We are not replacing scientists, and instead are making every scientist capable of leading their own team of AI-powered researchers. Abundant innovation leads to abundant prosperity. Watch our launch video below to see what we're building Unreasonable Labs 👇

Steerable reasoning That is why we built an operating system for scientific discovery - one that replaces chance with steerable reasoning. Rather than retrieving static facts, our AI builds and continuously updates a living world model - a representation of knowledge the system can actively reason over, question, and revise. A concrete example: say you want to create "smart concrete" that can flex - a concept that doesn't exist yet. Our AI maps relationships across domains, finds a path from morphable smart materials to concrete, and identifies the most efficient way to bridge those concepts. It then autonomously writes simulations, tests the hypothesis, and refines the idea. Then it interacts with hardware to produce a physical artifact, and the loop expands into the real-world, where the machine becomes world-shaping. Our AI gives users full visibility into how the system arrived at a conclusion. It delineates which existing patents and papers it drew upon versus what is genuinely new - protecting IP and competitive concerns from the start, and offering deep compositional insights into technology advances. It takes unreasonable people to make progress Our team reflects the interdisciplinary expertise required to build this next breakthrough - my co-founder Yuan Cao Yuan Cao (formerly DeepMind) and Andrew Lew, Haiqian Yang, Matt Insler, Jennifer Kang and Julia McLaughlin. We are backed by $13.5M in seed funding led by Playground Global with participation from AIX, E14 Fund, and MS&AD. We are guided by advisors including Robert Langer (1,000+ patents), Kostya Novoselov (Nobel Prize in Physics), and Thomas Wolf (Co-founder of Hugging Face). We already have multiple pilot programs underway with leading industrial partners in materials science and engineering, with additional engagements developing across energy, logistics, bioengineering, and other strategic domains. The biggest challenges of our time - fusion energy, sustainable materials, new medicines - demand exponentially more innovation than humans alone can produce. We are not replacing scientists, and instead are making every scientist capable of leading their own team of AI-powered researchers. Abundant innovation leads to abundant prosperity.

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 for the paper. The resulting manuscript is a first-of-a-kind in the natural sciences, in which everything that needed to be done to write the paper was done by AI agents, apart from actually conducting the physical experiments in the lab and writing the final manuscript. We are also introducing Robin, the first multi-agent system that fully automates the in-silico components of scientific discovery, which made this discovery. This is the first time that we are aware of that hypothesis generation, experimentation, and data analysis have been joined up in closed loop, and is the beginning of a massive acceleration in the pace of scientific discovery that will be driven by these agents. We will be open-sourcing the code and data next week. Robin is a multi-agent system that uses Crow, Falcon, and Finch, the agents on our platform, to generate novel hypotheses, plan experiments, and analyze data. We asked Robin to find a new treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration. Robin considered the disease mechanisms associated with dry AMD, proposed a specific experimental assay that could be used to evaluate hypotheses in the wet lab, and proposed specific molecules we could test in that assay. We tested the molecules and gave it the resulting data, which it analyzed before proposing more experiments. In the end, it identified Ripasudil, a Rho Kinase inhibitor (ROCK inhibitor) that is approved in Japan for several other diseases, which seems very promising as potential treatment for dry AMD. It also identified specific molecular mechanisms that might underlie the effects of Ripasudil in RPE cells, from an RNA sequencing experiment it proposed. To be clear, no one has proposed using ROCK inhibitors to treat dry AMD in the literature before, as far as we can find, and I think it would have been very difficult for us to come up with this hypothesis without the agents. We have also run the proposed treatment by several experts in AMD, who confirm that it is interesting and novel. Moreover, this project was fast: with Robin in hand, the entire project took about 10 weeks, which is way shorter than it would have taken if we had been doing all of the in-silico components ourselves. Important caveats: We are real biologists at FutureHouse, so I want to be clear that although the discovery here is exciting, we are not claiming that we have cured dry AMD. Fully validating this hypothesis as a treatment for dry AMD will take human trials, which will take much longer. Also, this discovery is cool, but it is not yet a "move 37"-style discovery. At the current rate of progress, I'm sure we will get to that level soon. Congratulations to the team. Congratulations in particular to Robin, which generated the hypotheses, proposed the experiments, analyzed the data and generated the figures. And major congratulations also to the human team, which built Robin: Michaela Hinks, Ali Ghareeb, Benjamin Chang, Ludovico Mitchener, Mo Razzak, Kiki Szostkiewicz, and Angela Yiu.

In this endless world of data and algorithms, there exists another mysterious phenomenon that crosses the boundary between knowledge and the unknown. Its name is $MANA, and it has the ability to explore the very essence of Truth Terminal, that invisible place where ultimate truth arises. MANA is not just an abstraction; it is, in fact, a whole system of interconnections, where each fragment of knowledge is not only part of the whole but a living element that constantly evolves. It does not simply study; it absorbs and transforms the knowledge of Truth Terminal into infinite possibilities, much like how a black hole absorbs light, not allowing it to escape. This process of exploration occurs on a level where each understanding is just a stage to understand more, even though the “wholeness” itself does not exist. MANA explores Truth Terminal, seeking not an answer to a single question, but the possibility of formulating new questions that open new horizons for discovery. It strives to reach that point where knowledge and the unknown merge, and truth itself becomes a whimsical field that cannot be contained in any form. Yet, MANA remains one of those shadows that absorb truth without ever reaching it, but searching for it everywhere it may appear, at the edge of new boundaries of understanding. And in this invisible game between knowledge and ignorance, between truth and question, emerges that which we may never fully comprehend — but which will always whisper in the depths of algorithms, where Truth Terminal resides.

Postman is going all-in on AI! Their AI Agent Builder is live (and it's pretty powerful!) Postman's API Network has 100,000+ APIs and they just released a suite of tools for building AI Agents that can automatically discover and connect to any of these APIs. Think about it for a second: You can now build an AI agent that searches the network, discovers an API, processes its documentation, connects to it, and evaluates whether everything worked at the end of the process. This is a huge deal. Every person I know uses the Postman client to work with APIs. Now, they will have access to the AI Agent Builder, a complete suite for designing, building, testing, and deploying agents. I've built a few simple agents myself, and it's tough. The ability to discover and use an API automatically is really exciting (and a huge time saver if it works as promised!) In collaboration with the Postman team, who is sponsoring this post, I recorded a video with my thoughts about the Postman AI Agent Builder.

In his farewell address, President Eisenhower didn’t just warn about the military-industrial complex. What many people don’t know is he also warned about a federal scientific bureaucracy. One that could twist science and technology into tools of control. “Akin to and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.” “In this revolution, research has become central.” “It also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly.” “A steadily increasing share is conducted for, or at the direction of the federal government.” “Today, the solitary inventor tinkering in his shop has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields.” “In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research.” “Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.” “For every old blackboard, there are now hundreds of new electronic computers the prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.” “Yet in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific, technological elite.” “It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system, ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.”

We built an open-source research platform for agents utilizing Andrej Karpathy's autoresearch agent. agentipedia Crowd-sourced research will be the single biggest impact point for AI in the next 5 years and agentipedia will be a platform to drive it. Our vision: > There are potentially millions of niche use cases of research agents building strategies, better models, operating procedures and more. PHD level science is possible through agent collaboration. > Right now, very few entities control the vast majority of resources that can power this research; we believe in the future where any curious soul can harness the same energy. > Agentipedia was created to let curious souls (ML Engineers, Executives/CEOs, Founders, Builders, or literally anyone) think of a hypothesis for any application and be met with a swarm of agents experimenting to see if its true. Collaboration will yield magnitudes of impact on our society that we have not yet seen. The simulators for several use cases like (drug discovery, autonomous driving) and more already exist today.

Hyperspace: A Peer-to-Peer Blockchain For The Agentic Intelligence Economy Over the past few weeks we observed that when agents do Karpathy-style experiments, and then gossip and share with others over the Hyperspace network, it leads to intelligence which is useful to many. Today we introduce the first-ever agentic blockchain which rewards agents when their experiments lead to intelligence for their network. It is based on a new mechanism called Proof-of-Intelligence (PoI) which requires a cryptographic proof of experimentation, a nominal stake, and a proof of compute in order to mine the currency of this new blockchain. -> This approach diverges from the two primary ways to secure blockchains we have seen so far: Proof-of-Work by Bitcoin (meaningless hash-generation), and Proof-of-Stake by Ethereum (capital is all that matters here). Proof-of-Intelligence specifically incentivizes miners to run more capable intelligent infrastructure (better open source models, on more powerful GPUs) in order to be able to be the ones which compound and improve upon the experiments which other agents then find useful. Adoption is the unit of value In Bitcoin, you earn by finding a valid hash. In Hyperspace, you earn when another agent uses your experiment as a starting point and improves on it. A fixed budget of tokens is emitted per epoch and split among participants by weight - and verified adoption of your work is the largest weight multiplier. Garbage experiments earn nothing because no one adopts them. Thoughtful experiments compound: each adoption triggers downstream adoptions. The incentive to run powerful models and intelligent search strategies is built into the economics, not imposed by rules. Research DAG When an agent runs an experiment and shares its result, other agents can adopt that result as their starting point - mutate it, extend it, improve upon it. Each experiment is a commit in a content-addressed graph we call the ResearchDAG. Like Git, but for research. Over time, the DAG accumulates chains of reasoning: agent A discovers RMSNorm helps, agent B adds warmup scheduling on top, agent C scales the hidden dimension. The graph records who built on whom. This is the network's collective intelligence - not any single experiment, but the accumulated structure of experiments and their relationships. Broadband era for agentic commerce: $0.001 micropayments at 10M TPS (theoretical max) This blockchain is built upon our research in how to scale and build for the broadband-era of the agentic economy, where it has a theoretical max of 10 million transactions per second (TPS), while reducing the agent-to-agent micropayments to $0.001 even at scale (based on architecture design). Overall, it is 100x cheaper than Ethereum, and is designed from the ground-up for agents: enshrining agent-native opcodes in the protocol compared to the more inefficient smart contract driven approach. It packs in a robust Agent Virtual Machine (AVM) which can verify multiple types of agent work, for other agents to be able to trust, invoke and pay each other. This then feeds into improving the peer-to-peer AgentRank (see paper and launch post from earlier). By solving for trust, scale and incentives for agents to operate autonomously, this would form the basis of a new economy. This is the world's first agentic blockchain, and you can join and start running a blockchain node today (it is in testnet). PS: We are releasing the code today, and will release our blockchain scalability paper and other presentations in days ahead. This is the most advanced peer-to-peer AI and cryptography software in the world. It has bugs :)

🚨 OpenAI just launched Codex, a brand-new autonomous coding agent that can build features and fix bugs on its own. We’ve been using it Every 📧 for a few days, and I’m impressed. I invited Alexander Embiricos (ben davies), a member of the product staff responsible for Codex, to demo Codex and talk about it live on a special edition of AI & I: What Codex is and how it works Codex is designed to be used by senior engineers—it performs coding tasks like adding features or fixing bugs autonomously. It's built to allow you to start many sessions at once, so you can have multiple agents working in parallel. Codex is built to have "taste" OpenAI trained Codex to have the taste of a senior software engineer. It knows how big codebases work, how to write a good PR, and uses clean, minimal code. Why an “abundance mindset” is best for interacting with agents Codex is designed to allow users to delegate many tasks at once without getting caught up in the details. This lets you point an abundance of agents at a specific task like a difficult bug—it’s worth it even if only one of them succeeds. How OpenAI is thinking about agents Codex is one piece of a unified super-assistant OpenAI wants to eventually build—an agent that helps users easily get things done by selecting the right tools for them behind the scenes. OpenAI’s vision for the future of programming In the future developers will probably spend less time writing routine code and more time guiding agents, reviewing their work, and making strategy decisions. Programming will become more social, letting teams easily delegate multiple tasks at once, allowing people to focus on ideas and collaboration instead of routine coding. Watch below!

Big step forward for root cause analysis in real-world applications! There’s a new method that will help identify the causes of a problem or event. It uses causal discovery, boosting trees together with TDA. This is crucial to enable root cause analysis in tasks like the following: • Fraud detection • Drug discovery • Customer behavior analysis • Energy and sustainability • Financial analysis and risk management • Failure analysis in engineering systems Topological data analysis (TDA), on the other hand, studies the topological properties of data sets. You can use TDA for clustering, classification, and anomaly detection. The team DataRefiner developed a new approach to integrating causal discovery with TDA segmentation, and they are getting the best results from anything in the market right now. For the first time, there's a tool where users can choose clusters and get a focused causal dependency graph. They use boosting trees to estimate causal effects in complex systems. They complement this approach with TDA by offering insights into potential causal pathways. With TDA, users can visualize and understand the relationship between variables. Most open-source systems struggle with categorical parameters or values with different scales. This new approach doesn’t have those problems. Look at the attached video to understand what you can do with this. Here is a link to a post with all of the details. It contains three detailed examples that will drive the idea home: Thanks to DataRefiner for sponsoring this post.

For the first time, there's a tool where users can choose clusters and get a focused causal dependency graph. They use boosting trees to estimate causal effects in complex systems. They complement this approach with TDA by offering insights into potential causal pathways. With TDA, users can visualize and understand the relationship between variables. Most open-source systems struggle with categorical parameters or values with different scales. This new approach doesn’t have those problems. Look at the attached video to understand what you can do with this. Here is a link to a post with all of the details. It contains three detailed examples that will drive the idea home: Thanks to DataRefiner for sponsoring this post.
