@caltechedu marks a historic milestone this week: the investiture of our 10th president Ray Jayawardhana. JPL colleagues gathered at the Lab yesterday to kick-off the celebrations and honor our shared impact with Congresswoman Judy Chu.
Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) will expand aerospace research, hands-on training, and innovation on campus and at the Lab through two gifts totaling $27.5 million from philanthropists Foster and Coco Stanback.

Here’s a look at the hard problems these five universities are tackling:
@Caltech: Expanding our partnership with Caltech to test whether large language models can accelerate innovative research in mathematics and physical sciences – pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in rigorous scientific domains
@OhioStateMed: Developing AI workflows to assist radiologists screening X-rays, building AI tools for earlier heart failure detection, and building clinician-guided AI tools for Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
@LSU: Implementing AI to improve non-contact infant tracheostomy monitoring, neurosurgical outcomes, VR training for medical professionals, and more.
@IndianaUniv: Applying open-weight models to improve maternal-newborn care and learning, with a focus on tools that work with limited connectivity and accommodate diverse cognitive needs.
@UTHealthHouston: Using Muse Glimmer, one of our smallest open-weight models, to support projects that improve treatment for brain cancer and agentic benchmarking in healthcare settings.

so excited for this!! huge thanks @AIatMeta, can't wait to dig into the Muse models with @AnimaAnandkumar at @Caltech and the meta team!
I've already been using Muse Spark Open a lot through Open Math OS from @SAIRfoundation, and they've helped me catch some real issues in some of our libraries!
Congrats to the other teams as well!!
