Join me and my co-authors Clem Bonnet, Daniel Luo and Alex Laterre tomorrow at 10:45 to discuss Jumanji, our open-source work on high performance #RL environments in #JAX






Super excited to announce Ångström AI, our startup using Gen AI to build fast and experimentally accurate simulations of molecular interactions together with Laurence Midgley, Jose Miguel Hernández-Lobato and Gabor Csanyi. We are backed by Y Combinator! See below for a simulation demo (1/3)🧵.

I made my first ever investment in a startup, Ångström AI They build on ML surrogate models to enable cost-effective simulation of molecular properties (e.g. solubility or binding) in pharmacologically relevant settings. A very hard technical problem that this team might crack.






Very fortunate to have received the third-place paper award of ARC Prize with Matthew Macfarlane!! 🏆 Amazing efforts from François Chollet Mike Knoop and the team to have made working on ARC-AGI such a success 🔥 Excited for 2025!!

We spoke with Clem Bonnet at NeurIPS about his extremely innovative approach to the ARC Prize using a form of test time inference where you search a latent space of a VAE before making an optimal prediction. François Chollet was so impressed, he hired Clem shortly after! 😃 -

I had a fantastic time discussing latent search with Tim Scarfe on MLST! 🙏 We review our work on latent program networks co-authored with Matthew Macfarlane and debate composition, AI creativity, and program synthesis. Full video: youtu.be/PHBItVuudbU
