Here’s a look at the hard problems these five universities are tackling: @Caltech: Expanding our partnership with Caltech to test whether large language models can accelerate innovative research in mathematics and physical sciences – pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in rigorous scientific domains @OhioStateMed: Developing AI workflows to assist radiologists screening X-rays, building AI tools for earlier heart failure detection, and building clinician-guided AI tools for Alzheimer’s diagnosis. @LSU: Implementing AI to improve non-contact infant tracheostomy monitoring, neurosurgical outcomes, VR training for medical professionals, and more. @IndianaUniv: Applying open-weight models to improve maternal-newborn care and learning, with a focus on tools that work with limited connectivity and accommodate diverse cognitive needs. @UTHealthHouston: Using Muse Glimmer, one of our smallest open-weight models, to support projects that improve treatment for brain cancer and agentic benchmarking in healthcare settings.

so excited for this!! huge thanks @AIatMeta, can't wait to dig into the Muse models with @AnimaAnandkumar at @Caltech and the meta team! I've already been using Muse Spark Open a lot through Open Math OS from @SAIRfoundation, and they've helped me catch some real issues in some of our libraries! Congrats to the other teams as well!!
