This sounds very cool! I did my PhD thesis in a #multi-#agent lab. I was definitely the oddball, because I didn't want to be a roboticist. But still great to see agents being reincarnated. #agentic #AI
You can run Kimi-K2-Thinking, the most strongest agentic model, in Jan through Hugging Face. Add it to your @huggingface Inference models to use it.

In the US, millions go hungry while wealth accumulates in unprecedented concentration. The means to prevent suffering exist; they are simply withheld. That’s not an economic failure; it’s a moral one, sustained by political convenience + public silence. apnews.com/article/pets-food…

Author selfie — but this one feels different. Our newest @sabeti_lab paper came out in Science just as conflict escalated between Israel and Iran, Shira’s and my birth countries. A painful reminder of how fragile the world can be. But also a reminder of what’s possible: that across borders and conflict, individuals can still choose to build together. @WeingartenShira science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

With deep sadness, we share the passing of Dr. Atul Butte—a visionary leader, scientist, and mentor. His groundbreaking work and boundless compassion transformed medicine and inspired so many. His legacy will continue to shape the University of California and beyond.

We have lost a brilliant, kind and generous mind with the passing of @atulbutte. And what a legacy! It was an honor (and so much fun!) to have known him #RIP #goat #ogAI
There are few in this world who were such forces for good as @atulbutte. His dazzling intellect, relentless curiosity, generosity of spirit, boundless charisma, and infinite optimism left a mark on everything he touched and everyone lucky enough to know him. An enormous loss.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy. In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

Elon Musk may be the richest man in the world, but he and DOGE have no right to access your personal data and cut essential funding all Americans rely on.   We're in court today to stop this illegal power grab, because no one is above the law.

Yes. They fired people working on the Veterans Crisis hotline. Stop believing they aren’t coming for everyone and have any idea what the fuck they are doing. They are coming for veterans just like everyone.

I was fortunate to be part of the NIH postbac intramural program after undergrad - a transformative experience that catalyzed my career and led me to where I am today. There is no world where we should we diminish investment in the next generation of our scientific researchers.

President Trump just fired: • 90 physicians • 350 nurses • at least 25 nurse practitioners • nearly 20 dentists • 85+ pharmacists • 45 lab techs All employed by the Indian Health Service to provide health care. This is going to have dangerous consequences for our Indigenous brothers and sisters. ictnews.org/news/abrupt-fede…

I can't believe they've just cancelled the Epidemic Intelligence Service program at CDC. My father was an EIS officer: epimonitor.net/PrintVersion/… @Farzad_MD's thread below gives you a sense of the kind of people in this elite program to train the best & brightest epidemiologists.
1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda?

Trump’s sudden cutoff of funding and staff at USAID has meant the loss of “almost all ability to track $8.2 billion in unspent humanitarian aid…, a government watchdog warned Monday.” This whole wire report on the accelerating catastrophe bears reading. therepublic.com/2025/02/10/u…

Elon Musk wants to strip out payments for the indirect costs of doing vital medical research for the federal govt — while SpaceX gets to keep its undisclosed indirect rate, which is paying out billions.
