The Protein Engineering Tournament Results have arrived 🎉 Our Pilot Tournament challenged 7 of the best protein design teams in the world to conquer a list of 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 challenges. Let's take a look at the results! 🧵

AI is about to change everything & Astera is on a mission to rebuild the machinery of science for a radically different future. We’re hiring a visionary team to help leverage our $2.5B endowment to make science better, faster, cheaper & more widely shared. The future is open 🧵

We're expanding our wet lab at FutureHouse, and looking for exceptional junior bio researchers. Our AI systems are designing protocols & experiments to make basic science discoveries in biology. If you want to see the future of wet lab research, apply: job-boards.greenhouse.io/futurehouse/jo…

Sam Rodriques and FutureHouse have built great advanced science evals for LLMs. I trust them more than almost anyone to measure whether models are *actually* doing something truly useful for science. If you're building evals that are at least as hard/sophisticated as these, DM

LAB-Bench is, to my knowledge, the first set of evals designed to measure whether models/agents can do scientific research, not just whether they know assorted trivia about science. Procedural evaluations like this for complex tasks will be very important going forward.

The team that pulled together LAB-Bench, led by Jon Laurent and Joseph D. Janizek, is extremely cracked. They pulled this together, from beginning to end, in just over 2 months. Lots more to do. If you want to join: job-boards.greenhouse.io/futurehouse/jo… Major contributions also from Michael

Our workshop ICML Conference 2024 happening next week features an exceptional list of speakers and panelists to discuss different aspects/goals of AI for Science: methodology, interpretability, discovery, and an increasingly discussed one, scaling!

FutureHouse is hosting a happy hour on Wednesday at ICML. Come find us... partiful.com/e/Oz22V51DxVfG…

Spoke last night to some brilliant undergrads Nucleate Dojo in SF about major challenges that UK + Europe face for leading in science and technology. Wake up this morning to find the UK has shelved its AI initiative. Case in point: bbc.com/news/articles/…

🎉 Protein design models go head-to-head in the wet lab! 🧬 Check out our paper highlighting the results from our pilot Protein Engineering Tournament 🧪💥 Get ready for the next round in 2025!🚀 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

FutureHouse is hosting an AI for Science happy hour next Thursday, the 22nd, at 5pm, for people who are doing cool research or building cool things. Will be in San Francisco. Sign up here: partiful.com/e/JtSnN86IiyRb…

figuring out if anyone has done something before is always such a pain...
