Bielik has landed! Polish language model spreads its wings thanks to supercomputers from AGH UST
A new version of Bielik has been launched. It is a huge language model with open source code that learns to generate text responses based on a huge database of Polish texts. Bielik's training was carried out using the computing resources of the two fastest supercomputers in Poland - Helios and Athena at AGH UST in Kraków.

Tornado in a box: Twisted Polish idea for quantum memory
Physicists from Warsaw have built a trap for 'quantum tornadoes' - single quantum vortices that appear in superconductors. Thanks to the world's fastest thermometer of their own design, they have studied these vortices and determined how to control them. Now scientists propose to use this idea as memory in quantum computers.

DNA methylation under the microscope: Another step to better understanding of some leukemias
A decade of research at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology has allowed scientists to better understand the mechanisms leading to DNA methylation. In some situations, undesirable methylation leads to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and some leukemias (CMML, AML). Research on DNA methyltransferases was published in the prestigious journal Nucleic Acids Research.
