Introducing FrontierPhysics - a benchmark evaluating agents for end-to-end physics research
Our core team from physics labs at Berkeley, Caltech, and Harvard recruited 42 physicists from 26 institutions. 28 of them published papers on Nature, Nature Physics, PRX, PRA*
1/7 🧵

We compared @genpeachAI v1 Preview against 8 image models on 100 human-centered briefs, judged blind by 53 professional creatives. It won 71% of votes.
The set: GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst, Nano Banana 2, Muse Image, Recraft V4.1, Luma Uni-1, Flux 3, Ideogram 4.5 and Krea 2 Medium.
Fantastic event, honored to be a part of it and talk about the divergent domain of aesthetics, and why you can't rubric your way into putting taste into a model. More to come 👀
Two dinners, one running event, and a whole conference later we have wrapped up the first annual Convergence: RL Summit co-hosted by the @SignalFire and @tryterac teams! terac.com/events/convergence…

hey x, its that time again
@contralabs is hiring Researchers in SF/NY that are interested in making AI supercharge (not replace) creativity.
You will collaborate on cutting edge projects directly with frontier labs and researchers that impact the tools and models creatives use every single day.
If this is you, please DM or tag someone who could be interested!

Higgsfield is now the fastest-growing skill freelancers get hired for.
We are #1 on Contra’s Creative Intelligence 2026 list of the fastest-growing AI skills, with 25x growth from H1 2025 to H1 2026.
My bet: within next 6 months, the most in-demand creative is the one who can take an idea all the way to a finished campaign. That’s why we built Higgsfield Katana, powered by Claude Motion. Give it a brief or your raw footage, and it hands back a finished edit, including the shots you never filmed.
The next studio is one person with Higgsfield.

Creatives Intelligence index from @Contralabs
Interesting stats here on state of AI adoption by Creative professionals across various disciplines:
web, brand, graphic, marketing, video, motion, etc
nice work @contraben @ajnulty @kuizinas
AI is making creativity more valuable than ever before and..
we have 3 years of data to prove it.

There's constant rhetoric that AI is taking over [creative] jobs. But the reality is, AI raises the floor and ceiling of what creative can achieve.
Check out the report here: contralabs.com/creative-inte… (trust me, you've never seen a report look like this)
@contralabs is just getting started as the Creative Intelligence layer for AI.

I led engineering at Google DeepMind.
Today, I'm proud to introduce Fo to give personal AI something no lab ever has... Humans.
Other personal AI's pretend AI can do everything. Fo employs humans to do tasks that AI cannot.
- 2x better at real-world task completion (beats other agents by 69%)
- 94% trust rate (4x less likely to leak private info vs Muse, Instinct)
