It is going to be like what happened in coding: as soon as models crossed a certain threshold (Opus 4.5, GPT-5.2, Gemini 3), suddenly Claude Code & Codex were viable. Before that, it was all about coding assistance, afterwards it was all about agents from relatively small gains.

AI Scientist Paper Published in Nature, Interview with Yutaro Yamada
By
–
An interview article with Yutaro Yamada of Sakana AI, one of the lead authors of the AI Scientist paper recently published in @Nature magazine, has been published in Nikkei Digital Governance. nikkei.com/prime/digital-gov… In this article, Mr. Yamada provides a comprehensive explanation of the current state of AI-driven scientific research, covering both the achievements of AI Scientist and its challenges. As mentioned in the article, one of the important findings from this research is that we experimentally demonstrated that the quality of generated papers can improve as the performance of the underlying AI model improves. "Being published in a top-tier scientific journal means that Sakana AI's paper-creation system has been recognized as having 'passed' the scientific version of the Turing test." The article also accurately addresses the current limitations of AI Scientist. What matters to us is not just what today's models can do. The Nature paper's achievement is that we quantitatively tracked the relationship between model performance and research quality, thereby revealing what could be called "scaling laws for scientific research." We believe this provides valuable insights for broader discussions about the future of science. "In the paper published in Nature this time, we demonstrated that if the performance of the AI model underlying the system improves, there is potential to enhance the quality of generated papers, and future developments are expected. Yamada of Sakana AI states: 'I want to improve the quality of automated research and help human researchers achieve surprising results.'" The article also mentions that AI-generated papers are watermarked and that the experiments were conducted under the approval of ethics committees and academic societies. In an era when AI is significantly transforming the nature of science, Sakana AI will continue to explore the possibilities of AI in science through ongoing dialogue with the scientific community.

Brain 2.0 AI Crushes Benchmarks, Suggests Canceling Meeting
By
–
Brain 2.0 is the best AI in the world. For personal and for work. We’ve evaluated it for two weeks and it crushes every benchmark. It’s ambient and always aware of the right context at the right time. I’ll start sharing some magic moments in real time. I was looking for restaurants and Brain knew my hotel. Then it suggested that I cancel my meeting tonight and instead just glance at a cheat sheet it created. I was skeptical but clicked yes anyway. Result was best prep sheet I’ve ever had. And I cancelled meeting.

your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life.@skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone.
no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws… pic.twitter.com/i2x03G2uWIexcited to share what we have been up to. your iphone’s home screen hasn’t changed in ~20 years. it’s the same static grid of icons since launch with zero awareness of your actual life. @skye is a new agentic home screen for iphone. no telegram. no mac mini. & no claws required. skye is ambient intelligence that just works. it continuously listens to your context & acts on it. it builds your reading lists, gives you personalized weather, drafts email replies, prepares you for meetings & trips, flags suspicious charges, works through your reminders, tracks your health, & gives you one tap intel on wherever you are (restaurants, museums, neighborhoods, etc). all surfaced on your home screen. over the next few posts i’ll break down how it works, why we built it, & why we think it deserves to exist in the world. beta starts today. if you’re on the list, you’ll get access very soon. app store shortly after. deeply appreciate you all following along on this fun little journey. also please join our discord !
