Saturday night BTC universal model long. 2.4R I'm bearish on BTC, so I did not hold this long to a larger target. Taken on my @breakoutprop prop account.

Published in Nature (2023), Kruse et al. (Tüting lab) demonstrate that adoptively transferred CD4 T cells alone—but not CD8 T cells—can eradicate melanoma tumors completely lacking both MHC class I and II expression. These findings challenge the current paradigm of cancer immunotherapy, which predominantly focuses on CD8 cytotoxic T cells whose effectiveness is limited by MHC loss and immunosuppressive TME. Historically viewed merely as ‘helper’ cells, CD4 T cells instead have a critical yet underappreciated capacity for antitumor immunity independent of CD8 cells. Intriguingly, CD4 T cells do not directly infiltrate tumors in the same way CD8 T cells do. Rather, they profoundly reshape the tumor immune landscape by recruiting and functionally reprogramming myeloid cells. These myeloid cells mature into potent interferon-activated APCs and robust iNOS-expressing tumoricidal effectors. This study uncovers exciting therapeutic opportunities by revealing the potential of CD4 T cells to complement CD8 T cells and NK cells, paving the way for innovative strategies against immune-evasive cancers.

ABCFold: Easier Running and Comparison of AlphaFold 3, Boltz-1, and Chai-1 - Structural biology has seen a revolution with deep learning-based protein structure predictors like AlphaFold 3, Boltz-1, and Chai-1. However, running and comparing these models efficiently remains a challenge. - ABCFold is a new tool that simplifies the process of running and benchmarking AlphaFold 3, Boltz-1, and Chai-1, allowing users to generate structure predictions with a standardized input format. - The tool converts AlphaFold 3 JSON inputs into compatible formats for Boltz-1 and Chai-1, enabling seamless execution of all three models from a single input. - ABCFold provides automated multiple sequence alignment (MSA) handling, supporting both JackHMMER-based searches and the MMseqs2 API. Users can also supply custom MSAs and template structures. - The software includes a unified output visualization framework, allowing side-by-side comparison of model predictions, pLDDT scores, and predicted aligned error (PAE) values. Structural clashes are also highlighted for better assessment. - One of the key benefits of ABCFold is its ability to automate installation and version management of Boltz-1 and Chai-1, reducing setup complexity for researchers. - By providing standardized evaluation metrics and interactive visualization tools, ABCFold enhances reproducibility and helps researchers assess the relative strengths of different structure prediction methods. - This tool is an important step toward better benchmarking of next-generation protein structure predictors, enabling broader adoption and more effective model selection for specific biological applications. 💻Code: github.com/rigdenlab/ABCFold 📜Paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #StructuralBiology #AlphaFold #MachineLearning #ProteinFolding #DeepLearning #Bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology

🚀 Introducing TxAgent: a first of its kind AI agent for therapeutic reasoning across a universe of 211 tools, with a comparison against DeepSeek-R1 671B @NVIDIAAI TxAgent is an AI agent that redefines how AI can reason, retrieve, and integrate biomedical knowledge for precision therapeutics, led by stellar @GaoShanghua 🔍 Beyond prediction—reasoning AI for medicine TxAgent is not just another predictive model. It is the first AI system designed to think through therapeutic problems, iteratively query external sources, and generate transparent, step-by-step reasoning traces. By integrating real-time biomedical knowledge, TxAgent's treatment recommendations are accurate and continuously updated 🔗 Benchmarking TxAgent against 671B DeepSeek-R1 We benchmarked TxAgent against DeepSeek-R1 (671B, @NVIDIAAI) and other leading AI models. The results? TxAgent outperformed much larger LLMs in multi-step therapeutic reasoning in drug selection, treatment personalization, and therapeutic reasoning 🏥 What’s Inside the 211 tools in TxAgent’s ToolUniverse? ✅ All FDA-approved drugs since 1939 – Includes drug mechanisms, indications, contraindications, dosing, safety warnings, and pharmacokinetics from FDA drug labels and OpenFDA ✅ Clinical insights from Open Targets – Provides up-to-date drug-disease, phenotype, and molecular target associations used in precision medicine ✅ Pharmacology – Covers drug-drug interactions, metabolic pathways, and contraindications based on comorbidities and concurrent medications ✅ Personalized treatment guidelines – Assesses patient-specific factors such as age, pregnancy, renal function, and genetic variations. Simultaneously assesses molecular, pharmacokinetic, and clinical-level interactions. Evaluates patient factors like genetics, comorbidities, and disease stage ✅ Real-time retrieval – Queries latest treatment indications, regulatory approvals from continuously updated sources 🔥 Key features: ✅ Reasoning over retrieval – Moves beyond RAG-based retrieval to structured, multi-step decision-making ✅ Tool-augmented AI – Interacts with 211 biomedical tools ✅ Real-time knowledge integration and continuous learning – Responses are always grounded in up-to-date clinical knowledge. No outdated medical knowledge by always integrating live sources ✅ Dynamic tool selection – Adapts its reasoning by choosing the most relevant tools in real time ✅ Grounded medical AI – Reduces the risk of hallucinations, verifies every step of the way, and aligns recommendations with clinical guidelines @HarvardDBMI @harvardmed @KempnerInst @harvard_data @MIT @broadinstitute @MIPhilanthropy @cziscience @Harvard Congratulations to a fantastic team Shanghua Gao @GaoShanghua, Richard Zhu @RichardYXZhu, Zhenglun Kong @ZKong50693, Ayush Noori @ayushnoori, Xiaorui Su @xiaorui_su, Curtis Ginder, Theodoros Tsiligkaridis

Replying to @sama
Don’t trust the votes, people don’t know what they’re talking about. Local models are interesting but only so useful. Go for the best open source model possible.

Everyone vote for o3-mini type model to be open-sourced please 🥺🥺🥺 We can distill or quantize a phone sized model dw the open-source community will work its magic!!
18 Feb 2025
for our next open source project, would it be more useful to do an o3-mini level model that is pretty small but still needs to run on GPUs, or the best phone-sized model we can do?
