Just 10 days after o1's public debut, we’re thrilled to unveil the open-source version of the groundbreaking technique behind its success: scaling test-time compute 🧠💡 By giving models more "time to think," LLaMA 1B outperforms LLaMA 8B in math—beating a model 8x its size.

Excited to finally getting my first AI conference paper! Even though I am just a middle author, but still very excited about the potential of this work.

You know NIH is under stress when your proposal is assigned to the panel that are invited to serve as reviewer

Congratulations to Pramesh Shakya for leading our latest PBWT paper accepted at RECOMB: Dynamic mu-PBWT: Dynamic Run-length Compressed PBWT for Biobank Scale Data, with Ahsan Sanaullah and Shaojie Zhang x.com/RECOMBconf/sta…

Here is the paper! openreview.net/forum?id=Mfnh1… We showed rather than using human-defined enhancers, AI can learn to mark (mask) the potentially functional (causal) part of the genome and improve gene expression prediction. Kudos to Xingyu Su & Shuiwang Ji ! x.com/zhizhid/status…

Incredible productivity of the Zhang lab Shaojie Zhang : 3 preprints posted over the weekend. Enjoy!

Together, Stronger, Better!

I wrote up an FAQ about the recent federal grant cuts. A few key points 🧵:

If indirect costs are capped as proposed, universities may need to shift more expenses into direct costs, increasing administrative complexity and reducing research efficiency. This could also offset any intended savings from the cap. More details here: simplystatistics.org/posts/2025-02-…

Support this! "Predictable, Robust, and Sustained Public Investments in Biomedical Research Should Be a National Priority" Also a good explainer how NIH works.
