A compressed NASA–IBM Prithvi geospatial model ran on the Kanyini satellite and the ISS IMAGIN-e payload in flood and cloud detection demonstrations.
Experimental · NASA / IBM Research / Kanyini mission / International Space StationResearchers trained Merlin on roughly six million images from 15,331 CT scans to support multiple abdominal imaging tasks.
Demonstrated · Merlin research collaborationAlphaGenome is a unified DNA-sequence model that takes up to 1 Mb of DNA and predicts thousands of functional genomic tracks, including gene expression, splicing, chromatin features, transcription-factor binding, and contact maps.
Demonstrated · Google DeepMindAnomalyMatch processed 99.6 million Hubble Legacy Archive cutouts and the study reports 1,339 anomalies, more than 800 of them previously undocumented, with experts reviewing the candidates.
Demonstrated · European Space Agency / Hubble research collaborationGoogle DeepMind and Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced a partnership in which CFS uses the open-source TORAX plasma simulator in daily workflows to test and refine SPARC operating plans before the tokamak is turned on.
Emerging · Google DeepMind / Commonwealth Fusion SystemsResearchers developed Deep Loop Shaping, a reinforcement-learning feedback controller tested on the LIGO Livingston Observatory to reduce control noise in a difficult mirror-control loop.
Demonstrated · Google DeepMind / LIGO / Caltech / Gran Sasso Science InstituteA multicenter randomized, controlled, double-blind superiority trial tested whether adding AI-detected spatio-temporal electrogram-dispersion targets to pulmonary-vein isolation improves treatment of drug-refractory persistent atrial fibrillation.
