Ai2 Brings $152M Federally Backed AI Computing Cluster Online
The Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) said Thursday that its federally backed AI computing cluster is now online, marking the first milestone of a $152 million program to build open AI models for scientific research. The project, called the Open Multimodal AI Infrastructure for Science (NSF OMAI), is backed by the U.S. National Science Foundation […]
Ai2 Rethinks Robotics Training With a Simulation-First Approach to Physical AI
Researchers at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) say they’ve achieved a breakthrough in physical AI: zero-shot sim-to-real transfer. This milestone allows robotic models trained entirely in simulation to perform tasks in the real world without requiring any real-world data, making it significantly easier to move knowledge from virtual training to actual robots. To mark […]
Ai2 Launches AutoDiscovery to Analyze Datasets and Break Science’s Ideation Bottleneck
Scientific progress has long followed a familiar arc: form a hypothesis, design an experiment, test, and repeat. But when dealing with sprawling datasets, the bottleneck isn’t in collecting information. It’s deciding where to look. Ai2 is betting that artificial intelligence can automate that decision. The nonprofit AI lab has introduced AutoDiscovery, an open-source experimental tool […]
