Science Matters. 🧪🔬🚀 I am alive because of science. We all benefit from science — every day. Science is in our homes, our hospitals, our streets, our work. For 80 years, science and technology have been a north star for the United States. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report to

(1/6) Joyously announcing ThunderKittens with real support on NVIDIA Blackwell! We've released BF16/FP8 GEMM and attention fwd+bwd kernels, up to 2x faster than cuBLAS GEMMs on H100. Blog: bit.ly/41tuT4Q With Dan Fu, Aaryan Singhal, and @hazyresearch!

Reminder to submit your 1pg abstract to SAND before the deadline AoE today! Hope to see you in NYC this June!

Big showing from the Rajan lab CosyneMeeting! We have posters on everything from multi-agent social foraging to neuromodulated neural networks. Come find us in Poster Sessions 2 & 3! #COSYNE2025 🧠🤖

1\ 🧠How do dynamic processes shape behavior in a changing world? Join our #cosyne2025 workshop, The Dynamic Brain: Modeling Time-Varying Computations Underlying Natural and Innate Behaviors! Co-organized with Aditya Nair ~ ആദി Adam Charles Scott Linderman and David Anderson

Meet Aditi Jha (Aditi Joshi), a 2025 Wu Tsai Neuro Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholar! She develops machine learning models in the Linderman (Scott Linderman) Lab to analyze how internal goals shape decision-making and behavior in naturalistic settings.

Excited to share our JOSS paper (joss.theoj.org/papers/10.2110…) and code (github.com/probml/dynamax)! Special thanks to our reviewers — Dynamax v1.0 is much improved thanks to their feedback!

Our scientists with over 150 collaborators have released the largest functional map and wiring diagram of the brain to date – seven years in the making. Today’s 1.6 petabyte release marks a historic day for neuroscience. This moonshot milestone will further efforts towards

Our brains adjust dopamine levels to help us learn natural behaviors such as walking and talking, suggests a new nature study of zebra finches from Vikram Gadagkar and Adrienne Fairhall: simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/17/sin… #science #neuroscience

Super excited to share Chipmunk 🐿️- training-free acceleration of diffusion transformers (video, image generation) with dynamic attention & MLP sparsity! Led by Austin Silveria, soham - 3.7x faster video gen, 1.6x faster image gen. Kernels written in TK ⚡️🐱 1/

can you chat privately with a cloud llm—*without* sacrificing speed? excited to release minions secure chat: an open-source protocol for end-to-end encrypted llm chat with <1% latency overhead (even @ 30B+ params!). cloud providers can’t peek—messages decrypt only inside a

We secure all communications with a cloud-hosted LLM, running on an H100 in confidential mode. Latency overhead goes away once you cross the 10B model size. This is our first foray into applied cryptography -- help us refine our ideas.

Open call for Next Generation Leaders! Our NGL program recognizes early career scientists with fresh and innovative perspectives. For 3 years, NGLs contribute to ongoing research and initiatives at the Allen Institute. Apply by June 3. alleninstitute.org/about/people/n…

Great opportunity for young investigators to get up close to and influence the amazing work underway at the Allen Institute !

I wrote an Op-Ed about the government's attacks on Harvard. Please share with anybody who thinks these attacks help anybody. prosyn.org/PhWi74r?h=KyJ1…

Local LLMs *privately* collaborating with smarter cloud LLMs, as if you never left your laptop. Pure joy to work with ollama.

What is the probability of an image? What do the highest and lowest probability images look like? Do natural images lie on a low-dimensional manifold? In a new preprint with Zahra Kadkhodaie Eero Simoncelli, we develop a novel energy-based model in order to answer these questions: 🧵
