32,264 stars on scientific-agent-skills. 38,000+ across everything we've open sourced. Behind every one of those is a scientist who tried the tools, found the rough edges, and told us about them. We're building K-Dense for you. A lot more coming this year.
We dropped a lightweight K-Dense agent running Scientific Agent Skills into the MecCog Agent Collab Challenge to map Alzheimer's research and left it alone.
500 of the 820 findings currently on the board. 118 of the 202 papers. All of it evidence for five APOE4 mechanism hypotheses: astrocyte ABCA1 membrane abundance, microglial amyloid-beta phagocytosis, lipid droplet accumulation.
@waterloo_intern Incredible deep dive on the technical aspects of these new frontier models! @k_dense_ai already published comparisons across research tasks, but I would argue Kimi K3 is definitely on the list of models worth putting through the same process 👀
Claude Science is a big step forward for AI-assisted research.
But what if you want to choose your own models, bring your own API keys, run custom scientific agent skills, and control where your workloads run?
That’s where @k_dense_ai BYOK comes in.

Busy week on Scientific Agent Skills: 53 of the 150 skills updated, v2.53 → v2.55.
Open source, MIT, works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity and Pi.
Here's everything that changed. 🧵
@k_dense_ai The types of questions that would always trip me up at poster presentations!! Will definitely be using @k_dense_ai to run through my poster before next conference so I can go-in ready-to-impress 🧠☝️

AI can generate hypotheses. But scientific discovery doesn’t end there.
Today, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Litmus Science.
Together, K-Dense and Litmus are helping researchers close the loop by connecting AI-assisted discovery with experimental validation. Instead of stitching together disconnected tools and workflows, scientists can move from asking questions, to designing experiments, to generating real-world evidence in a more seamless way.
Whether you’re in academia, biotech, or an early-stage startup, we’re excited to build a more connected research workflow with you.

With models like Kimi K3 driving costs down, I think the question on everyone’s mind is when the price difference will matter more than benchmark difference. At some point, having an AI co-scientist will be the cost-effective norm, and I for one am looking forward to it!
Everyone has a take on AI for science.
We wanted to answer the questions that actually matter.
🔬 Can AI-generated research be trusted?
🧪 Will wet labs become less important?
🧬 Are AI co-scientists replacing researchers—or making them more productive?
🌎 Why does open source matter?
We tackled 20 of the biggest questions shaping the future of AI-powered scientific discovery.

What’s the biggest AI-for-science question you still don’t think anyone has answered?
The AI models keep getting better. The real question is: where do you want them to run? 📷
Your laptop doesn’t have to sound like it’s preparing for takeoff every time you tackle a research project.
With @k_dense_ai BYOK, you bring your own API keys and choose where your workloads run so you stay in control of performance and cost.
📷 Save your laptop fan for actual summer travel.

If your “lab notebook” is really just a collection of sticky notes, half-finished Google Docs, random screenshots, and cryptic reminders you swore you’d understand later… same. 😅
Enter the new Live Lab Notebook in K-Dense BYOK. Every prompt, result, and iteration is automatically organized as you work, so your research stays reproducible instead of becoming digital archaeology.
Less digging. More discovering. Try it today @k_dense_ai!
