• A 15-billion-parameter LLM named BatGPT-Chem for retrosynthesis was announced via arXiv paper 2408.10285, but the model weights and Hugging Face links cited in the PDF are currently dead; community members located the base BatGPT-15B-sirius repository and model card as the closest available artifacts.  
• Discussion surfaced the possibility that the specialized “-chem” variant was withheld because it could generate instructions for synthesizing controlled substances such as VX nerve agent, echoing broader concerns about dual-use chemical-AI models.  
• LangGraph-Swarm-Py, a new open-source framework for building multi-agent LLM swarms, was shared on GitHub as a tool for orchestrating collaborative AI systems.  
• A car-bomb explosion outside an IVF clinic in Palm Springs (reported by The Guardian) prompted debate on embryo-related terrorism and the provocative quip that “embryo gun rights would have prevented this.”  
• Montelibero activists are reportedly planning to open a corpse cryostorage facility in Montenegro (.me), extending the decentralized cryonics movement into the Balkans.  
• Participants examined the structure of public retrosynthesis datasets: ~1.4 million reactions mined from USPTO and academic literature, encoded as SMILES strings with atom-mapped mechanisms, reagents, solvents, catalysts, and yields—totaling ~1 GB uncompressed.  
• Practical data-hoarding notes: PubChem’s full 1.6 TB could likely be losslessly compressed to ~50 GB with xz by trimming excessive coordinate precision, yet no one has published such a compressed archive.
