The emperor has no clothes
An assessment of DNA language models concludes:
◼️ They do not offer compelling gains over baseline models

Their performance is inconsistent and requires much more compute.

This is the golden age of science informatics!
Run BioEmu in Colab - just click "Runtime → Run all"! Our notebook uses ColabFold to generate MSAs, BioEmu to predict trajectories, and Foldseek to cluster conformations.
Thanks @jjimenezluna.bsky.social for the help!

This is obviously how scientific articles should be, and if we had an open ecosystem designed for users rather than profit, we would have had this years ago. Time to dump commercial publishers and their paywalls.
Want to see a quick demo of the technology that might replace citations in scientific papers?

Goodbye citations, hello embeds.

I was just hoping for links in scientific papers, but this is even better!
The future of academic citations: Embeds
Citations are dead. Long live embeds! In the future, you won't use traditional citations in scientific articles. You'll directly embed the snippet of science...

Thank you to everyone who read and cited my papers last year - proud to say that I received 10 citations in 2024! Double digits for the first time🎉

It is roughly 10 lines of code to go from 1 GPU to N GPUs with pytorch DDP. Pointing this out so that everyone is aware and doesn't shy away from scaling their code

That C-C and C-N coupling are now viewed as boring (comparable to amide bond formation!!) is a testament to the work that Buchwald, Hartwig, and many others have done in the past 20 years.

My machine learning data splitting library astartes has just hit 64 stars on GitHub! ⭐

We built this to help rigorously quantify how well our models actually work - if you want to quantify how well you models extrapolates into new feature or target space, give it a look:
