We figured out flow matching over states that change dimension. With "Branching Flows", the model decides how big things must be! This works wherever flow matching works, with discrete, continuous, and manifold states. We think this will unlock some genuinely new capabilities.

Oh and as usual, these visualizations (which are, to us, key to understanding these processes) were made by @antonoresten.bsky.social in @makie.org (@simi.bsky.social).

I just released Raycore.jl - a high-performance ray tracing engine for Julia with CPU and GPU support!
It will power a new photorealistic rendering backend for Makie.jl, but we made it modular and flexible to support any other use case

Finally announcing Bonito.jl! 🎉 A Julia web framework that went from "neglected prototype" to something I'm genuinely proud of.

Reactive UIs, rich widgets, Makie integration, deploy anywhere (Jupyter/VSCode/web/static HTML)

We tried to set up a simple demo/tutorial model for the protein design ecosystem we've been developing, and it turned out a bit more interesting than we expected. 🧵

This was a team effort from a few people in my lab, including @antonoresten.bsky.social and others (not sure who is on this app)

Wenn es nach CDU/CSU geht, sollen in Deutschland bald Atomkraftwerke und Fusionsreaktoren Strom liefern. Aber wie realistisch ist das? Ein Blick zu den jüngsten nuklearen Projekten zeigt: Atomstrom ist unberechenbar – bei den Kosten und Bauzeiten.
Kernkraft: Der teure Traum der Union
Die Union und Friedrich Merz wollen zurück zu Atomkraft. Über die hohen Kosten und langwierigen Bauzeiten wird nicht gesprochen.
