Hab mir einen Mahrer Tracker gebaut. Spannend zu sehen, wie schnell Print-Medien auf ihren Online-Portalen auf Dinge wie ein ZIB 2 Interview reagieren und wie sich die Inhalte dabei unterscheiden.

Happy that IBM uses proper MLPs, i.e. self-normalizing networks, in their Flowstate model! ;)

Another win for xLSTM
xLSTM shines as an Electrocardiogram (ECG) foundation model: arxiv.org/abs/2509.10151

"xECG achieves superior performance over earlier approaches, defining a new baseline for future ECG foundation models."

xLSTM is perfectly suited for time series prediction as shown by TiRex.

Oh c'mon...
Devastating blow for GNNs/MPNNs for chemistry and small molecules:

All of them are not statistically better than simple ECFP . Only our CLAMP model does the job ;)

Just in: GPT-5 achieves AGI in chemical sciences!!1!!1!

Actually, NO! .... struggles with generating 2D graphs from SMILES.
