Huge news today at Isomorphic Labs! We have secured $2.1 Billion investment to advance the most important mission that AI can unlock: to change the way we can improve human health and create new medicines for patients around the world. This funding milestone was built on the strength of our AI drug design engine (IsoDDE), which has already proven its worth (aside from smashing benchmarks) by designing breakthrough new molecules and creating new scientific breakthroughs across our drug discovery programs. Our IsoDDE is giving us a repeatable way to design new medicines for a wide range of diseases, building a future of medicine that we couldn’t unlock until now. A massive thank you to our incredible team across London, Boston and Lausanne, whose relentless work made this possible, and to our partners who share our ultimate vision. Now we have so much more to build together!

RadixArk
RadixArk@radixark·
Today, we are thrilled to officially launch RadixArk with $100M in Seed funding at a $400M valuation. The round was led by @Accel and co-led by @sparkcapital. RadixArk exists to make frontier AI infrastructure open and accessible to everyone. Today, the systems behind the most capable AI models are concentrated in a small number of companies. As a result, most AI teams are forced to rebuild training and inference stacks from scratch, duplicating the same infrastructure work instead of focusing on new models, products, and ideas. RadixArk was founded to change that. We are building an AI platform that makes it easier for teams to train and serve the best models at scale. RadixArk comes from the open-source community. We started with SGLang, where many of us are core developers and maintainers, and expanded our work to Miles for large-scale RL and post-training. We will continue contributing to both projects and working with the community to make them the strongest open-source infrastructure foundations for frontier AI. We would like to thank our long-term partners, contributors, and the broader SGLang community for believing in this mission. We're also grateful to @Accel and @sparkcapital, NVentures (Venture capital arm of @nvidia), Salience Capital, A&E Investment, @HOFCapital, @walden_catalyst, @AMD, LDVP, WTT Fubon Family, @MediaTek, Vocal Ventures, @Sky9Capital and our angel investors @ibab, @LipBuTan1, Hock Tan, @johnschulman2, @soumithchintala, @lilianweng, @oliveur, @Thom_Wolf, @LiamFedus, @robertnishihara, @ericzelikman, @OfficialLoganK, and @multiply_matrix among others. Thanks for the exclusive interview with @MeghanBobrowsky at @WSJ about our vision.

🏆Honored to receive the Test of Time Award Honorable Mention #AISTATS2026 for our 2016 work Deep Kernel Learning, with the amazing @andrewgwils @rsalakhu @ericxing What a decade of AI progress! While GenAI is now driving massive real-world applications, the deepest underlying challenge remains: learning efficient representations of the world—for understanding, generation, predicting future worlds, and reasoning in the latent space. So much fun to think about for the next decade!⏳

I’ve been reflecting a lot on this journey, and I feel incredibly grateful. To the Eigen AI team: thank you for choosing to build something hard together, and for bringing so much ambition, intensity, and care every day. I’m truly proud of what we have built, and even more grateful that we get to continue this next chapter together. To our customers and developers: thank you for trusting us early, bringing us meaningful problems to solve, and shaping Eigen through your feedback, partnership, and belief in what we were building. To our advisors, investors, and supporters: thank you for believing in us early, guiding us along the way, challenging us to think bigger, and standing with us through every stage of the journey. And to the Nebius team: thank you for the conviction, trust, and partnership throughout this process. We’re excited to join forces, keep building with the same ambition, and take this next chapter even further. This milestone would not have been possible without all of you. I’m deeply thankful, proud of what we have built together, and excited for what comes next! ❤️
Eigen AI@Eigen_AI_Labs

Today, we're announcing that Eigen AI is joining Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS). From day one, our mission has been Artificial Efficient Intelligence — building the world's most efficient engines for generating intelligence. Together with Nebius, we're working toward the best AI cloud, uniting Eigen's full-stack model and inference software, ranked #1 on Artificial Analysis for inference speed, with Nebius's global hardware and infrastructure footprint, so any developer or enterprise can run the best models at the best price, with no capacity ceiling. After close, Eigen's optimization stack will be integrated directly into Nebius Token Factory. The entire Eigen AI team is joining Nebius in full, establishing Nebius's engineering and research presence in the San Francisco Bay Area. To our customers, our team, our investors at Tectonic Ventures, E14 Fund, Uncorrelated Ventures, and AGI House Ventures, our angel investors, advisors, mentors, and supporters — and to the Nebius team for the conviction and partnership — thank you. The mission doesn't change. The leverage behind it does. Ryan Hanrui Wang, co-founder and CEO of Eigen AI, said: “We’re proud to join Nebius and work alongside the Token Factory team to push the boundaries of inference performance. Nebius has built a world-class AI cloud with a deep engineering culture that perfectly aligns with our own. Together, we are removing the friction of AI model customization and deployment so developers can run models reliably in production without managing the underlying infrastructure.” Full announcement at: eigenai.com/blog/eigen-ai-…

@michellearning @michellearning Exactly what we discussed at your UNLOCK. Building bespoke automated lab instruments just duplicates hardware. Generalist arms & legacy instruments = infinite flexibility without the CapEx nightmare.

“Why are you using general purpose robot arms to automate human-useable instruments? Shouldn’t we just invest in more automated instruments?” Same argument my dudes
Palmer Luckey@PalmerLuckey

@SarkaryShahvir Because the humanoid robot can amortize cost of batteries+actuators+sensors+compute across dozens of appliances and use cases rather than duplicating it for each one. It is the same reason humanoids will be a big deal as an autonomous interface to legacy weapons platforms.

Symbols, space, and time can represent most of the "information". In this eval paper, we show how video models are generalist "space-time reasoners". It's like "let's think step by step" in LLMs in 2022. Veo3 is like GPT-3 in 2020, and can't wait for its thinking/RL moment.

@jure Congrats @jure, @KexinHuang5 @YuanhaoQ and team on Biomni-AD! Using Biomni for antibody design. Ran a TREM2 multi-specific case, had a Stanford bio-eng PhD confirm the design makes sense. This is the bar: giving scientists something to build on, not just summarize.

Thrilled that Biomni-AD won the $1M Alzheimer's Insights AI Prize at the AD/PD Conference in Copenhagen 🏆 Most AI tools answer a single question. Biomni-AD is a co-scientist agent. It explores hypotheses, integrates evidence across genetics, proteomics, neuroimaging & clinical data, and explains its reasoning so scientists can interrogate and build on it. Alzheimer's will affect 152M people by 2050. No single researcher can synthesize all that data at once. That's exactly where AI agents change the equation. Proud of the whole team. And it'll be freely available to researchers worldwide 🙏 stanforddaily.com/2026/04/15/bio…

It was great talking with Tim Tully from Menlo Ventures about the story of diffusion models and where they provide big gains over autoregressive models: speed, code, agents, and beyond!
Inception@_inception_ai

1,000+ tokens per second. 10x faster than autoregressive models. On standard GPUs. @StefanoErmon and @volokuleshov break down where that speed matters most: voice agents, coding, and production agent systems where latency compounds across every call. Our founder series with @timt at @MenloVentures.

It’s 11th year and counting! Teaching the first lecture of @cs231n every year has been a highlight of my spring seasons. As usual, I asked students which departments or schools they come from @Stanford . Increasingly, students raise their hands to indicate that they come from all seven schools on campus, from @StanfordEng to @StanfordMed @StanfordHumSci @StanfordGSB @StanfordLaw @StanfordEd @stanforddoerr . AI is truly a horizontal technology that excites students across all backgrounds and disciplines!🤩

At lunch today with a xAI friend, we predict total headcount of technical staff at xAI, OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic will fall by at least 50% from today's numbers. We assign a prob. of 0.25 of this happening within 1 year, 0.5 within 2 years, and an .85 within 4 years.
