>NVIDIA + K-Dense: Evaluating Nemotron 3 Nano Omni
This week we announced our collaboration with NVIDIA to evaluate their Nemotron 3 Nano Omni Model, an open-source multimodal model, for scientific applications.

>Rowan + K-Dense: Introducing rowan-autosearch
In collaboration with Rowan Scientific, we’re releasing rowan-autosearch, an open-source package for agent-driven molecular property optimization. You define a chemistry objective and a starting molecule; an AI coding agent plays the role of a medicinal chemist – proposing analogs, scoring them with Rowan’s quantum and ML workflows, checking drug-likeness with RDKit, and iterating until a winning candidate emerges. Every candidate, payload, constraint check, and design rationale is captured as append-only JSON and rendered into an auditable HTML report.

>New Use Case: 42-Page ARPA-H Policy Report in One Session
We asked K-Dense Web to produce a publishable policy analysis of ARPA-H’s first four years. The result: a peer-reviewed 42-page report with 14 publication-grade figures, 71 verified citations, a comparative ARIA/SPRIN-D framework, and 7 evidence-grounded recommendations – all in one autonomous session.

>New Blog: AI Co-Scientist, Not AI Scientist
Why we put the hyphen in front of every product we build. The case – from AlphaFold to Google DeepMind to Polanyi’s tacit knowledge – for keeping the human scientist front and center.

>Just for Fun: Mimeographs
Last week we released Mimeo, a tool that distills opinions from the world’s greatest minds into agentic skills you can use in your local developer environment, along with Mimeographs, a ready-to-use collection of 80+ experts already generated with it.
