AI models can now help run physical science experiments

The Model Hardware Standard (MHS) is a pioneering framework developed by Anthropic and HHMI Janelia to enable AI, specifically Claude, to safely and intelligently operate diverse scientific and manufacturing hardware. By abstracting device-specific communication, MHS dramatically accelerates scientific discovery, from automating complex microscopy tasks and real-time tracking to optimizing high-throughput drug screening, empowering researchers to focus on core scientific questions.

Can LLMs Write Fast Multi-GPU Kernels? — Simran Arora, Together AI

Can LLMs Write Fast Multi-GPU Kernels? — Simran Arora, Together AI

Simran Arora discusses the critical bottleneck shift in large AI workloads from GPU compute to inter-GPU communication. Her team's solution, ParallelKittens, offers a set of primitives to optimize multi-GPU kernels by leveraging fundamental transfer mechanisms and compute-communication overlapping. They introduce ParallelKernelBench, a benchmark to evaluate AI models' ability to generate such kernels, revealing that while models can handle syntax, they struggle with deeper reasoning about communication patterns and hardware trade-offs.
