A team won 2nd overall at this weekend's MIT Engineering hackathon, plus 1st in the alphaxiv and Nebius tracks. The project grew from a pitch by Google AI co-scientist co-inventor @kkVirtualVerve that symbolic logic should be part of next-generation AI tooling; the team formed at ProfBuehlerMIT's Science Claw event at the Media Lab and included members from the Allen Institute, Nanopublications, and the Broad Institute, with support from e14fund, Claude, and Gemini.
