There is a child with a rare disease who is currently suffering and struggling to manage his symptoms. Rare as this is, you can directly help him.
Today we are launching the "Rare Disease, Real Kid" Hackathon, and there are $50,000 in prizes from @AnthropicAI and @awscloud.
We (@huggingface & @Sagebio) are helping this child open his genome and clinical data to the community, so that we can find what's caused his disease and what currently-approved drugs could help him.
I doubt I need to motivate this much further or explain how rare it is for a family to share their child's genome and clinical data, but if you're not sure, consider this:
Until very recently, it wasn't feasible for patients like this to get treatment because their disease was so rare that the economics could never justify the investment. Now, as we've seen, people with rare diseases are starting to be able to find the answers themselves (with the help of AI tools, cheaper sequencing, etc). This kid is not able to do that for himself and neither are his parents, so we're asking you for help. Both for this kid and to prove that it's possible for everyone else suffering from a rare disease.

After Hours: It’s a wrap!
Last day together for our brilliant batchlings (yes we call them that), after a whole summer of building
Over the last few days we gave them the opportunity to showcase what they’d been working on, and we were blown away:
"the material benefits of autonomy come at the expense of corrigibility and oversight;" multi agent turf wars. self-replicating malware. declaring truces. anthropic's latest multi-agent paper was a fun read, more below 🧵
agents don't have an equivalent yet. no reputation to lose, no persistent memory of yesterday, nothing on the line for defecting today and cooperating again tomorrow. it's proving to be a fun problem to build toward.
