At KAUST Core Labs we are an elite team (humble brag) and we like to share our knowledge. As an expert on #AI and #HPC I give this tutorial on the regular basis, the #DataScience on boarding to Ibex, is the firts step to make science at scale on our clusters.

And for those that come in person I always give something extra (beause Im the best at giving this material), but check the recording here youtube.com/live/-GfIcJlJGR4…

It been a blast representing @KAUSTCoreLabs at the @escience Conference of this year in #Napoli I delivered the tutorial about accelerated #DataScience for those interested on #AI and some #pytorch tricks #humanmade #IEEE

We have to teach the basics , like with The Carpentries Workshops, #AI is here, we need to teach the youth not blindly trust the output. In #python I must make very clear "the unit test" more than never is the must important part of your coding plan is. #humanmade

Yesterday, while I was talking with other Enthusiast of #AI, I have to bring history to the table. I told them that #alphafold is the fist #AI model to solve a scientific problem , a real problem unlike a toy universe for Navier-Stokes.

Turn out we have to discuss deeply what is a IP and that you need to read those pesky terms and conditions. At least Alphafold3 was clear about the allowed usage.

But more important is #GPT 6 Astra is really #AGI , then when will it come out with something similar to Alphafold ? is it going to create a new method for nerve surgery ? When will we have the best delivery liposomes for cancer treatment ?

Mathematics has now fully morphed into biology: Project costs millions $ ✅ Put out paper that nobody has read ✅ Massive paper supplement nobody will read ✅ Advertise with pretty art ✅ Vicious authorship fight ✅ Say you're curing cancer ✅

So, OpenAI's last #AI model (Astra) , claims to solve Naiver-Stocks equation, and a bunch a students and me are going to organize a #science coffee , it was 1st because we all are intrigued and 2nd to do a bit of science communication.

I have, I think is the best setup to benchmark #LLMs and #AI . I have in my hands Gemini, Claude, Github Copilot and Ollama (running what I decide) . I think is time to make a group of agents to chat with each other see how long until they bring slop ideas about the world 🤖

The most discussed topic around me is the rising cost of free #AI I even hear that licenses are more and more expensive. I am pivoting to locally host my own #LLM and in the middle I find out my favorite extension for #VsCode, continue.dev, was acquired by cursor !!

Huge news: @OriolVinyalsML leaving GDM to build Discovery Loop with @JeffDean. AI × frontier science is, in my view, one of the defining opportunities of the coming years: it's what drew us to build @InvivoPartners's new thesis around it. Seeing researchers of this caliber go all-in on the same space is both humbling and hugely encouraging. Molta sort, Oriol! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thirteen years ago, a quick email exchange with @JeffDean brought me to @Google. After an unforgettable journey from Brain, to DeepMind, and to @GoogleDeepMind, working on seq2seq or distillation, and co-leading huge projects such as AlphaStar, and Gemini, I'm saying goodbye to GDM. The best part? The same person who brought me in is challenging me to take the next leap. Excited to build Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI) alongside @JeffDean, @quocleix, and @Sanjay_Ghemawat Deeply grateful to everyone who made GDM feel like home. Time to try something new and to keep it drastic! ✨♾
