Benchmarks 101: What a Model’s Score Actually Tells You
A benchmark tests particular capabilities under particular conditions. Understanding those choices helps explain both model progress and the gap between a leaderboard score and a useful product.
Benchmarks 201: What a Leaderboard Score Actually Measures
Clémentine Fourrier on reproducible comparisons, the limits of preference rankings, and the engineering choices behind model scores, from the July 2024 conversation.
Benchmarks, Self-RAG, and Step-by-Step Verification — Part 3 of 5
Part 3 follows an agent’s failed travel plan into the science of benchmarks, then examines how Self-RAG and process supervision use intermediate judgments to select better outputs.
Better training data starts with what the model still needs to learn
Datology’s case for optimizing filtering, rewriting and training order together—and measuring their value in learning efficiency, model capability and inference cost.
Beyang Liu
Sourcegraph co-founder and Amp co-founder whose work on AI coding tools emphasizes code context, transparency, and reliable automation.
Beyond AlphaFold: Boltz’s Path from Structure Prediction to Molecular Design
How evolutionary clues, generative models and inference-time search support molecular design—and why useful predictions still have to survive experiments.
Beyond Attention, Toward Everyday Inference — Part 4 of 4
Part 4 of Latent Space’s NeurIPS 2023 recap closes with the common ingredients of attention-free models, their remaining bottlenecks, and the different demands of interactive responses and bulk processing.
Beyond the Model API: Tools, Labor, and Expressive Voice — Part 2 of 3
Part 2 of Latent Space’s Q2 2024 recap examines the infrastructure agents need, the work customers will pay for, and the possibilities and limits of ChatGPT’s early advanced voice mode.
Beyond the Prompt Box: Building Notion AI’s Interfaces
Brushes, database columns, and inspectable programs show how interface design can turn language-model capabilities into useful, controllable work.
Bill Chen
AI engineer and RiskAngle cofounder whose documented work includes coding-agent integrations and guidance on preserving reasoning during tool use.
Bill Peebles
Coauthor of Diffusion Transformers and former head of Sora, with research spanning image generation, learned optimization and visual alignment.
Biohub
A biomedical research organization combining experimental biology, biological data and AI to build tools for understanding and preventing disease.

Bo Wang
Biomedical AI researcher associated with scGPT and Xaira’s X-Cell, whose work spans single-cell analysis, perturbation prediction and medical AI education.
Bolt.new: Making the Development Environment Part of the Agent
Stronger code generation made Bolt possible. A browser runtime, an observable repair loop, and integrated deployment made it useful. Enterprise agents face the same challenge under very different constraints.
Boltz
A public-benefit biomolecular AI company that grew from MIT research into open models, molecular-design pipelines and hosted scientific software.
Boris Cherny
Creator of Claude Code, known for a composable terminal agent and an engineering approach that favors simple mechanisms around capable models.
Box
An enterprise content platform extending file collaboration, permissions, and governance to AI agents.
Braintrust
An AI evaluation and observability company that expanded from testing prompts and models into production-log infrastructure and agent investigation tools.
Brandon Anderson
Machine-learning scientist working on RNA drug discovery at Atomic AI and cohost of Latent Space’s AI for Science podcast.
