A new model predicts how molecules will dissolve in different solvents
Using machine learning, MIT chemical engineers have created a computational model that can predict how well any given molecule will dissolve in an organic solvent — a key step in the synthesis of nearly any pharmaceutical. This type of prediction could make it much easier to develop new ways to produce drugs and other useful molecules. The new model, which predicts how much of a solute will dissolve in a particular solvent, should help chemists to choose the […]

Cisco Released Cisco Time Series Model: Their First Open-Weights Foundation Model based on Decoder-only Transformer Architecture
Cisco and Splunk have introduced the Cisco Time Series Model, a univariate zero shot time series foundation model designed for observability and security metrics. It is released as an open weight checkpoint on Hugging Face under an Apache 2.0 license, and it targets forecasting workloads without task specific fine tuning. The model extends TimesFM 2.0 with an explicit multiresolution architecture that fuses coarse and fine history in one context window. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.19841 Why observability needs multiresolution context? Production metrics […]

The Economics of the Sacred: Politics as a Covenant Exercise
The lie that religion has no bearing on politics has yielded the kind of politics we have now: managerial, sterile, and devoid of moral conviction. The idea that political office could be a covenantal trust or that economic policy might have covenantal implications would strike most technocrats as medieval sentimentality; yet, the biblical worldview insists that public life is precisely where covenants are lived or broken.

Creating AI that matters
When it comes to artificial intelligence, MIT and IBM were there at the beginning: laying foundational work and creating some of the first programs — AI predecessors — and theorizing how machine “intelligence” might come to be. Today, collaborations like the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, which launched eight years ago, are continuing to deliver expertise for the promise of tomorrow’s AI technology. This is critical for industries and the labor force that stand to benefit, particularly in the […]
