How close can an open model get to AlphaFold3-level accuracy when it matches training data, model scale and inference budget? ByteDance has introduced Protenix-v1, a comprehensive AlphaFold3 (AF3) reproduction for biomolecular structure prediction, released with code and model parameters under Apache 2.0. The model targets AF3-level performance across protein, DNA, RNA and ligand structures while
In this tutorial, we walk through an advanced, end-to-end exploration of Polyfactory, focusing on how we can generate rich, realistic mock data directly from Python type hints. We start by setting up the environment and progressively build factories for data classes, Pydantic models, and attrs-based classes, while demonstrating customization, overrides, calculated fields, and the generation
Initiative aims to identify proficient gamers and coders who can help companies identify flaws in their cybersecurity Cybercriminals, the shadowy online figures often depicted in Hollywood movies as hooded villains capable of wiping millions of pounds off the value of businesses at a keystroke, are not usually known for their candour.But in a sixth-form college

Generating publication-ready illustrations is a labor-intensive bottleneck in the research workflow. While AI scientists can now handle literature reviews and code, they struggle to visually communicate complex discoveries. A research team from Google and Peking University introduce new framework called ‘PaperBanana‘ which is changing that by using a multi-agent system to automate high-quality academic diagrams
Organizers in Monterey Park took inspiration from other US cities to fight against the construction of a giant datacenterWhen a southern California city council proposed building a giant datacenter the size of four football fields last December, five residents vowed to stop it.Through a frenetic word-of-mouth campaign, the small group raised awareness about the proposed

How do you combine SigLIP2, DINOv3, and SAM3 into a single vision backbone without sacrificing dense or segmentation performance? NVIDIA’s C-RADIOv4 is a new agglomerative vision backbone that distills three strong teacher models, SigLIP2-g-384, DINOv3-7B, and SAM3, into a single student encoder. It extends the AM-RADIO and RADIOv2.5 line, keeping similar computational cost while improving
