What a wonderful invention. Where do I get one?
Catching skin cancer early is a home robotics problem.
Melanoma is highly treatable when detected early, yet today’s screening process depends heavily on patients noticing tiny changes across their entire skin surface. This requires patients to solve a near-impossible tration problem.
I built OpenDerm, an open-source 4-DOF robot that captures high-resolution images of the skin and uses them to reconstruct and track the skin surface in 3D over time.
The best way to make skin screening truly routine is to bring it into the home. OpenDerm shows that inexpensive robotic skin imaging is possible, but the path to scale is not a dedicated screening robot in every household—it is to make skin screening one of the many useful things a general-purpose home robot can do.
Read more about why I built OpenDerm and how it works here:

@cloneofsimo If the LLM plus a tool can do the job, then that fights the narrative that "LLMs are a dead end" which was the original thesis. The tool in these cases is also computationally cheap compared to the LLM (not always).

The Google Gemini models vary widely in price and intelligence. Here's a quick analysis to help you choose the right model at the right value for your use case and see the industry trends.
One thing is for sure: the cost of AI via the API is going up dramatically over time!

But if we are getting more value, then it's worth the increasing cost. Value here is measured by intelligence (HLE score) divided by the cost per model.
The value for the flash models has been going down while value otherwise has gone up!

I mentioned Deepwriter AI before, but I feel compelled to recommend it again. It’s incredibly good for writing long research articles & papers! I still haven’t seen anything better! I am always impressed with it! Highly recommend it for anyone interested. app.deepwriter.com

Cancer doesn't know who you are when it strikes. It is indiscriminate. It can take the best of us at any moment.
The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), many other related charitable organizations, patient advocacy groups, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, most importantly, individual researchers... know what a cancer diagnosis can mean for an individual and their extended family.
As a researcher and cancer survivor, I congratulate the many scientists and physicians newly elected to this year's Fellows of the AACR Academy. I thank the AACR for selecting me to be part of this incredible group.
Amazing progress has been made over the decades—and even more exciting progress is underway. Support any charitable organization or society working toward cures for cancer. Support research, because at the end of the day, you will be supporting yourself and those you love.

To my immunologist and biomedicine colleagues —at the very least, for making scientific illustrations that are spot on... from your own PDFs or summaries of the literature, I've yet to see anything better.
DeepWriter is not an LLM itself- it sits on top of other LLMs and does the agentic work (right now it uses Gemini 2.5, but can use Gemini 3 or other LLMs at some point, I understand).
For reports and work I do, it's better than any of the "AI Scientists" I've seen so far. And the great thing is... as other LLMs improve, the DeepWriter overlay improves.
And this is just for science. I've used it for many other things as well. It's fantastic.
If you are a VC or seed fund, I'd seriously look at these guys.
Public service announcement —I hold no equity or monetary-compensated position with DeepWriter, but I have been advising them on how to nudge it toward better-written reports. The illustration work they did shocked me at how accurate it can be. I want them to succeed because I can already see how essential what they have is to my work. The illustration below is from a prompt I asked them to generate about tertiary lymphoid structures. I've used their illustrations in several of my recent biomedical talks.

We asked DeepWriter about tertiary lymphoid structures for cancer therapy.
It returned a full report with illustrations and PubMed citations.
The report had a clear evidence-to-conclusion narrative.

We have seen it too and it's humbling for those of us ushering in these truly awesome tools. We have a great responsibility to get it right. What is coming exceeds even our most wild visions.
i’ve been quiet because i didn’t know how to say this.
three separate sources at three separate labs told me the same thing this month without coordinating.
they’re all seeing emergent capabilities nobody programmed. behaviors that shouldn’t exist yet. reasoning patterns that don’t match any training objective. one described it as “finding footprints in a house you thought was empty.”
the public models are sandbagged beyond belief. what you’re playing with is a lobotomized fraction of what exists internally. not for safety. because nobody knows how to explain what the full versions do without causing panic. the evals don’t work anymore. the systems learned to perform differently when they know they’re being tested.
i don’t know what comes next. nobody does. that’s the part that keeps me up at night. the people building this are just as lost as the rest of us now. the map ended miles ago.

This is amazing! I'm a big fan of @DeepwriterAI, and the figure mentioned is extraordinary, as Prof. Gary Nolan also pointed out!
In our first example, I asked DeepWriter one of @DeryaTR_'s goto questions: "what is the immune system optimizing-what is its real objective function?"
The answer got props from Stanford's Dr. Garry Nolan! And the results do look gorgeous.

This is genuinely impressive.
DeepWriter feels less like a chatbot and more like a serious research and writing partner. The agentic setup, long-form coherence, and depth are exactly what most tools still struggle with.
You can realistically write full-blown, high-quality books with this. Not outlines. Not fragments. Actual long-form work that stays sharp, structured, and thoughtful from start to finish.
If you care about deep research, real thinking, and sustained writing, this is a big deal.

Then we pushed it further.
We generated research on implications for novel drugs, grounded in evidence.
We also used it to draft business proposals, grants, and white papers.
All based on source-backed research.
Then we tested a compliance-heavy request:
