How can we make a better TerminalBench agent?
Today, we are announcing the OpenThoughts-Agent project.
OpenThoughts-Agent v1 is the first TerminalBench agent trained on fully open curated SFT and RL environments.
OpenThinker-Agent-v1 is the strongest model of its size on TerminalBench, and sets a new bar on our newly released OpenThoughts-TB-Dev benchmark. (1/n)

Last week at @UTAustin @MLFoundations I gave a talk called “reasoning: a double edged sword.”
We went from language models generating new hypotheses about cancer cell behavior, to ChatGPT tackling fresh (simple) math conjectures, to reasoning powered jailbreaks.

Half of people with heart disease first find out after a heart attack. What if we could see risk years earlier using MRI, genetics, and blood tests? We introduce preCog, a multimodal AI for preventive cardiology trained on >500k images and genetic data from 1.25M individuals.

Today is a wonderful day!
Celebrating 2 first-author NeurIPS spotlight papers.
Both works are about training and sampling generative models in data-challenging settings.
I am also in the academic job market this year, seeking tenure-track positions in the US and the EU.

Excited to join DevRev board of directors. DevRev has an impressive vision for AI agents and great understanding of where the real problems lie. Training real-world agents that are reliable and enterprise-ready will be a multi-year effort, and it all starts with reliable data and RL environments. I'm eager to help to make this vision a reality.
We’re excited to welcome Professor Alex Dimakis, AI researcher and co-founder of Bespoke Labs, to DevRev's Board of Directors.
A leader in AI reasoning, reinforcement learning, and open-source innovation, Alex helped shape models like Datacomp, DCLM, OpenThinker, and OpenThoughts, making them more transparent, accountable, and enterprise-ready.
His expertise will accelerate our mission to deliver trustworthy, explainable AI that works seamlessly in real-world enterprise workflows.

Educational institutions are debuting AI courses, degrees and certifications, aiming to help people become AI “literate.”
While some worry AI could replace them at work, others hope education will help them get ahead. wapo.st/4liRZ65
