“I almost felt a sense of relief.” That was Steinn Sigurdsson’s reaction when he first heard about Valency. In his view, only AI can handle AI output at scale. Steinn shares what sparked his relief and why he’s helping us build the AI tools science needs: blog.valency.io/posts/adviso…

AI always gives you an answer, but you can’t tell if it’s right without a domain expert to interpret it. In astronomy that risks a flawed paper. In chemistry or biopharma the stakes are far higher. Bond grounds AI in verifiable research, so you can check the work and trust the results. Try MCP Bond free: valency.io/bond #AIScience #OpenScience #Berkeley

This Wednesday and Thursday, we’re joining @HuggingFace and the U.S. National Science Foundation (@NSF) in supporting the OSI Hackathon. The Valency team is grateful for the chance to connect with a thriving global network of researchers, students, and industry pioneers who are reshaping the future of scientific discovery through AI. Don’t miss your chance to compete in the Valency-sponsored prize track for best use of MCP Bond. 🏆 👉 Register: luma.com/ku88xh92 #OSIHackathon #AIforScience #MCP

Without the right guardrails AI can produce something that looks like science, but isn’t. It builds on shadows instead of the shoulders of giants. Once hallucinations erode trust, we lose the grounding the whole scientific process depends on. Bond keeps AI grounded in verifiable research so you get fewer hallucinations and results you can trust. Try MCP Bond free: valency.io/bond?utm_source=x… #AIScience #OpenScience #Berkeley

We’re excited to team up with Open Scientific Intelligence (OSI) to sponsor next week’s hackathon, including a prize track for the best use of MCP Bond. OSI is bringing together scientists, mathematicians, developers, and students from around the world to build AI solutions for real problems in chemistry, materials science, the physical sciences, and math. The event is free, hybrid, and global. 👉 Sign up today: luma.com/ku88xh92 #OSIHackathon #AIforScience #MCP

As scientists ourselves, we recognize how important it is to build your own setup: tools, harnesses, workflows, and collaboration practices. That's why we've built MCP Bond to be LLM agnostic and integrate seamlessly with existing workflows. Try it now: valency.io/bond?utm_source=b…

GitHub didn't just give open source better tooling, it gave people the right environment to collaborate and decide. Fernando Perez (@fperez_org) creator of IPython and Project Jupyter, shares his view on why science now needs its own version: a hub where humans and agents interact and humans make the calls, so research produced at machine speed stays something we can trust.
