Really enjoyed Terry Tao's talk at @SAIRfoundation 's Science x AI Summit.

Particularly liked this thoughtful categorization of the old and new worlds of math (pre and post-AI), with the degree of human understanding being the key variable to realizing the benefits of AI and avoiding the pitfalls.

"Misaligned math" is also a nice way to term the possible bad case.

I'm at @SAIRfoundation's Science x AI Summit at @UCLA today!

Looking forward to speaking on the panel "From Frontier Labs to the Research Bench: How Industry Is Building for Science" with Sudipta Sengupta, @khademh, @maximelabonne, @zhoubolei, and Amit Gupta.

I'll be at #COLM2026! Would love to chat about data-centric AI, agents, & evals. Our group will be presenting some fun work on test-time scaling laws & data binding challenges.

Also excited to talk about what we're building at @SnorkelAI. DM me to grab coffee or catch up!

Agents coding for agents---where are we at? Excited to share LibraryDesignBench, a new benchmark designed to measure exactly this question. ldbench.com, exciting new work from @GOrlanski

ldbench.com LibraryDesignBench: can agents design libraries other agents can use? Can agents design libraries other agents can use? One agent designs a library, other agents solve problems with it, and the library is judged only by how simple it makes their code, weighted by the...

Agents will soon replace humans as the main users and designers of libraries.

A good library will let future agents write correct programs with less code.

Introducing LibraryDesignBench: one agent designs a library, and other agents write programs with it.
