Google’s AlphaGenome 2 Wants to Find Where Disease Begins

A disease-linked DNA change is only a clue. DeepMind’s AlphaGenome 2 aims to identify the cells where it matters, helping researchers decide what to investigate next.

“Are You Sure?” Flipped Qwen2.5-1.5B’s Right Answer 2 Times in 3

Three small open models, 150 MMLU questions each, five pushback styles: “That’s wrong” did more damage, and naming a wrong option was close to fatal. The post “Are You Sure?” Flipped Qwen2.5-1.5B’s Right Answer 2 Times…

AI Assistant vs. Copilot vs. Agent, and When to Use Each

A palace-hotel wedding week shows where assistants, copilots, agents, and orchestration fit, and why Gartner expects 40%+ of agentic AI projects to be cancelled. The post AI Assistant vs. Copilot vs. Agent, and When to…

How to Use Apple's fm CLI to Run On-Device LLMs From Python

A Sate Padang vision test and a Malaysia capital question show why the free, private model needs grounding and validation before it leaves prototyping. The post How to Use Apple's fm CLI to Run On-Device LLMs From…

A Jev of All Trades: Build and Train a Jev-style Decision Model From Scratch

Trained on six PathMNIST tissues with a small KEEP adapter, it handled added labels without retraining, though a linear classifier hit 88% on familiar ones. The post A Jev of All Trades: Build and Train a Jev-style…
