What a week last week:

🤓 NatComms paper corrections resubmitted.
🎉 Reached >17K people for the first time with something I love: making papers easy to understand.
👨🏽‍⚕️Dr confirms worrying issue was nothing to worry.
💸 ETH hits all time high.

But I need to tell you this:

This time, we are comparing Deep Seek R1, DeepSeek V3, Grok 3, Llama 3.3 70B, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and GPT-4o on Daszak's calendar items about NatComms.

DeepSeek R1 regularly surprises (image).

This is nice, Jen! Could it be also accumulation issue at edge? For example, is there a higher expression of biosynthetic gene or is it only local metabolism and pH differences?

Lucky your incubator does not allow light in, right? In view of recent Kobayashi NatComms paper…

I view the "innovation" of eLife as rebranding of things they wouldn't get attention/credit for if they didn't rebrand. Accepting everything after editorially rejecting 70% isn't erased by then publishing everything. Publication is also already accomplished by preprints. NatComms openly reviews.

Remains to be seen if it would work when going up the IF ladder (e.g. to NHB/NatComms, TICS, or Neuron), though it seems possible given how quickly a new "Nature" journal amasses prestige. And I'm still foggy on what it would take to divorce society journals from their current for-profit publishers.
