Anastasia Gamick, president and co-founder of Convergent Research, discusses how to identify and prioritize high-impact scientific research using the Focused Research Organization (FRO) model, which applies startup principles to R&D projects that are too engineering-heavy for academia and too public-good for industry.
JUPITER, Europe's first exascale supercomputer powered by NVIDIA Grace Hopper, demonstrated four groundbreaking projects at ISC: mapping the human brain at cellular scale, simulating climate at 1km resolution, building AI for wireless networks, and simulating a 50-qubit quantum computer.
An exploration of why mapping the brain's connectome is valuable, arguing that unlike AI systems where design is in code outside weights, brains must encode all design physically, making architecture the key to understanding.
Google releases MoGen model, using synthetic neurons to reduce connectome reconstruction error rate by 4.4%, saving 157 person-years of annotation time; meanwhile, AI can already decode thoughts from fMRI, and the proliferation of portable brain sensors raises brain privacy concerns.
A developer detailed the architecture of three Hermes AI agents built from scratch, using shared and private brains for role-specific tasks, with automated data syncs from various sources.
