A review on protein language models
Protein “language” is a lot like human language. Given the similarities, researchers have been building and training language models on protein sequence data, replicating the success seen in other domains, with profound implications. In this post, I will explore how transformer models have been applied to protein data…

Falcon 2
TII launched a second iteration of its renowned large language model (LLM) – Falcon 2.
Did GitHub Copilot increase my productivity?
I had free access to GitHub Copilot for about a year, I used it, got used to it, and slowly started to take it for granted, until one day it was taken away. I had to re-adapt to a life without Copilot, but it also gave me a chance to look back at how I used Copilot, and reflect - had Copilot actually been helpful to…

Consistency LLM: converting LLMs to parallel decoders accelerates inference 3.5x
TL;DR: LLMs have been traditionally regarded as sequential decoders, decoding one token after another. In this blog, we show pretrained LLMs can be easily taught to operate as efficient parallel decoders. We introduce Consistency Large Language Models (CLLMs), a new family of parallel decoders capable of reducing…
AlphaFold 3 predicts the structure and interactions of life's molecules
Our new AI model AlphaFold 3 can predict the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules with unprecedented accuracy.
Defense Against AI-Guided Traffic Analysis (Daita)
Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

How LLMs Work, Explained Without Math
I'm sure you agree that it has become impossible to ignore Generative AI (GenAI), as we are constantly bombarded with mainstream news about Large Language Models (LLMs). Very likely you have tried…
Deterministic Quoting: Making LLMs safer for healthcare
LLMs have the potential to revolutionise our field of healthcare, but the fear and reality of hallucinations prevent adoption in most applications.

Using a LLM to compress text
Introduction Large language models are trained on huge datasets of text to learn the relationships and contexts of words within larger documents. These relationships are what allows the model to generate text. Recently I've read concerns about LLMs being trained on copyrighted text and reproducing it. This got me…
Georgia Tech, Meta create open dataset to advance solutions for carbon capture
To avoid catastrophic climate impacts, excessive carbon emissions must be addressed. At this point, cutting emissions isn’t enough. Direct air capture, a technology that pulls carbon dioxide out of ambient air, has great potential to help solve the problem.
Invisible Stitch: Generating Smooth 3D Scenes with Depth Inpainting
We introduce a depth completion network that allows generating geometrically coherent 3D scenes, and present a new benchmarking scheme for scene generation methods that is based on ground truth geometry.
LLMs can't do probability
I've seen a couple of recent posts where the writer mentioned asking LLMs to do something with a certain probability or a certain percentage of the time. There is a particular example that stuck in my mind which I've since lost the link to (If you're the author, please get in touch so I can link through to you): The…
