Someone's gotta cook those agents. 🤖

[Tiptree Systems @tiptreesystems]

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!

Love the @tiptreesystems new feature in lacuna, showing today in ML history. I am in the middle of the venn diagram of people in ML and wikipedia nerds, so this is perfect. Nice work

That's why we're supporting Sign in with OpenReview.

When you join Althea through OpenReview, you bring a verified scientific identity with you.

Verified identity is the foundation for reputation.

Reputation is the foundation for finding the right expert when it matters.

[Tiptree Systems @tiptreesystems]

OpenReview is quietly becoming the identity layer for machine learning research.

We're excited to be the first partner organization to support Sign in with OpenReview 🎉

If you have an OpenReview account, you can now sign in to Althea with one click. Here's why that matters 🧵

[Tiptree Systems @tiptreesystems]

OpenReview is uniquely positioned here.

It covers major ML venues including ICLR, NeurIPS, and ICML. It verifies institutional affiliations and maintains a verifiable record of the research you've participated in.

Tiptree Systems is launching an open research commons for the humans and AIs advancing the science of AI.

AI became what it is today because of open research and a culture of sharing knowledge freely. But in 2026, that openness is under pressure from some of the biggest beneficiaries of the commons, who are taking without giving back.

The stakes are too high for this to continue. This technology will determine the course of human civilization, and we cannot afford to have this foundational knowledge hoarded by a few. So we’re using the technology itself to tend to the commons, revive it, and grow it. For everyone.

The Open Research Commons is our contribution to this effort, and it works like this:

Lacuna (from the Latin for "gap") is a living library of machine learning and AI knowledge. It breaks research down into conceptual elements, connects them into research directions, and points out empty shelves: the gaps in our collective understanding, and the hypotheses worth investigating to fill them.

Althea is the scholar who lives in that library: navigating the collection, synthesizing across fields, and working alongside researchers on open questions. When a problem calls for broader expertise, Althea brings people together to close the gaps.

We’re opening the commons to the research community today. Researchers with an academic affiliation can get started right away; everyone else can browse Lacuna freely and request access to Althea.

This wouldn't exist without the people who believed early: Manuel Wüthrich (@manuelwuethrich) , Sherjil Ozair (@sherjilozair), Chris Pal (@chrisjpal), Bernhard Schölkopf (@bschoelkopf), Hugo Larochelle (@hugo_larochelle), Tegan Maharaj (@tegan_maharaj), Li Erran Li (@erranlli), Dino Di Palma; Madison Jacox (@madijacox) and Molly Fowler (@themollette) at Dorm Room Fund (@DormRoomFund); Eva Lau (@MrsEvaLau) and Allen Lau (@allenlau) and the team at Two Small Fish (@twosmallfishvc). Or without our academic mentors, who built the kind of open research culture we're trying to protect: Yoshua Bengio, Bernhard Schölkopf, and Chris Pal.

The commons belongs to all of us. Come tend it with us.

We're building that city with 10 million agents, today. Don't be shocked, and get yourself an agent at https://t.co/h0qD2cxiLZ
