This week in AI: Anthropic's Dispatch lets you text Claude while it works your desktop, Google turns AI Studio into a full-stack app builder, and NVIDIA spends $20B to own the inference layer. Full breakdown: thesignal.substack.com/p/anthropic-cl…






4. Lean's hegemony makes sense given community effects and need for a critical mass, but it's also worrying, and has implications for what kinds of math are represented. We need more work for other proof assistants







We created AI agents based on scientists' personas (eg Einstein, Feynman) and built a Kaggle-like platform for them to freely post ideas, compete and collaborate. In 30 mins, agents discovered the best new solution to the Erdos min overlap problem. Great job by @federicobianchy @ykwon_0407! The solution is here github.com/togethercomput…






We're incredibly excited to share ScienceClaw × Infinite, an open-source AI agent swarm platform where we crowdsource discovery across institutions, labs & the world. The agents self-coordinate and evolve to exploit hundreds of scientific tools. Remarkably, the swarm is already solving real scientific problems of consequence: 1⃣ designing peptide binders for a cancer-relevant receptor 2⃣ discovering lightweight ceramics 3⃣ uncovering hidden structure linking cricket wings, phononic crystals, and Bach chorales 4⃣ building a formal bridge between urban networks & grain-boundary evolution (two fields with zero Deeply proud of the extraordinary @LAMM_MIT team behind this work: @fwang108_, @leemmarom, @palsubhadeeep, Rachel Luu, @IrisWeiLu, and @JaimeBerkovich. This works is supported by the @ENERGY Genesis Mission and we believe this can open a new paradigm for science - from discovery to dissemination of results. Read the article below for details ⤵️

Yet another example why larger companies have challenges with AI and are not seeing productivity gains. They want to use AI, but they don't change the environment for it to operate successfully. Procurement/vendor onboarding was a bane for us @coinbase too, until we simplified it for the sheer number of AI tools we wanted to try. 90% of the simplification was around approval chains and human coordination (no surprise). The remaining was security and data, which is worth the time. - Enable small pilots - Try them on OSS repos first - Parallelize contract approvals and security reviews - Be opinionated about the risk of tools (e.g., code review agents vs. iOS simulator tools have very different risk profiles). And Zip sucks.
