Globus Labs @globuslabs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The summit will be held as a hybrid meeting on September 14–15, 2026, with the in-person component in Chicago. 000
Globus Labs @globuslabs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026If you're interested in distributed computing, the APeX Summit (Academy, Parsl, Globus Compute) is approaching. This meeting brings together researchers, developers, and cyberinfrastructure experts worldwide to discuss experiences and define future directions. parsl-project.org/parslfest/ap...parsl-project.orgParsl: Parallel Scripting in Python 100
Globus Labs @globuslabs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The paper includes distilled design patterns for future agentic science applications, and a set of open challenges for the systems research community. 010
Globus Labs @globuslabs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026This new preprint looks at how scientists are actually building agentic applications in the wild. The authors surveyed eleven scientific applications built on Academy, a middleware for deploying agents on federated research infrastructure, and interviewed the scientists behind them. 110
Globus Labs @globuslabs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026AI agents are showing up everywhere in science right now, but deploying them on real research infrastructure presents unique challenges: e.g., federated authentication, restrictive networks, diverse compute, and systems that aren't always up. Paper: doi.org/10.2139/ssrn... 123
Globus Labs @globuslabs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The paper introduces 482 lenses across every component of LLaMA-3.3-70B and a finding that where a behavior is most visible isn't where intervention is most effective. i.e., the best intervention points may sit outside the attention heads that prior work focused on. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2608.10260 000
Globus Labs @globuslabs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Lens methods let researchers watch an LLM's predictions form layer by layer, but apply them to larger LLMs has been problematic. Towards this end, the team has developed OmniLens: low-rank translators cut trainable parameters by up to 98%, and Subset-KL training slashes peak memory by up to 70%. 100
