According to TheRundownAI, Pavel Rabtsevich used Claude Code and Codex to flag a planet NASA software missed; NASA will monitor it with TESS in November.

According to The Rundown AI, NASA and IBM released an open AI model to map Moon ice in shadowed craters, aiding missions and in situ resource use.

According to TheRundownAI, DeepMind’s co-mathematician, Codex task automation, and NASA exoplanet discoveries headline today’s actionable AI wins.

According to The Rundown AI, Warwick’s RAVEN validated 118 planets from NASA data and flagged 2,000+ candidates, accelerating exoplanet discovery.

According to @ylecun, citing @jayvanbavel and Nature, the US administration has proposed massive budget cuts across federal science agencies that would eliminate the National Science Foundation’s Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences directorate and reduce funding for NASA and the National Institutes of Health, posing an “extinction-level event for science” with direct consequences for AI research pipelines and talent development. As reported by Nature, the proposed plan would slash multi-agency basic research funding that underpins machine learning, data resources, and compute-intensive projects, risking delays to foundational AI research and applied programs in healthcare and space data analytics. According to Nature, losing SBE support would also shrink AI-adjacent behavioral datasets, human-computer interaction studies, and algorithmic fairness research, weakening commercialization pathways for responsible AI and narrowing opportunities for startups relying on federal grants and open datasets.
