Empromptu raises $2M pre-seed to help enterprises build AI apps
Empromptu claims all a user has to do is tell the platform’s AI chatbot what they want — like a new HTML or JavaScript app — and the AI will go ahead and build it.
From Transformers to Associative Memory, How Titans and MIRAS Rethink Long Context Modeling
What comes after Transformers? Google Research is proposing a new way to give sequence models usable long term memory with Titans and MIRAS, while keeping training parallel and inference close to linear. Titans is a concrete architecture that adds a deep neural memory to a Transformer style backbone. MIRAS is a general framework that views most modern sequence models as instances of online optimization over an associative memory. Why Titans and MIRAS? Standard Transformers use attention over a […]
New tool makes generative AI models more likely to create breakthrough materials
The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials. But when it comes to designing materials with exotic quantum properties like superconductivity or unique magnetic states, those models struggle. That’s too bad, because humans could use the help. For example, […]

New control system teaches soft robots the art of staying safe
Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment as much as possible and stay far away from humans for safety reasons, this arm senses subtle forces, stretching and flexing in ways that mimic more of the compliance of a human hand. Its every motion is calculated to […]
How I Screwed Up Sales Hiring
I founded Moonshine back in 2022, together with Manjunath, another engineer and researcher. My entire career up until that point had been working on consumer products, so I felt very comfortable with how those are sold, and I thought to myself “How hard can B2B sales be?”. The answer, of course, is very hard! My investors knew that before I did, and pushed me to hire a senior sales person to make up for my lack of experience. […]

AI-Designed Proteins Take on Deadly Snake Venom
Every year, venomous snakes kill over 100,000 people and leave 300,000 more with devastating injuries — amputations, paralysis and permanent disabilities. The victims are often farmers, herders and children in rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. For them, a snakebite isn’t just a medical crisis — it’s an economic catastrophe. Treatment hasn’t changed in over a century. Antivenoms — derived from the blood of immunized animals — are expensive, difficult to manufacture and often […]
