An absolute pleasure to chat all things @nextflow.io with the CSHL teams. There are very few places with such a rich history of high quality science and education. We really appreciated the invitation, Jason πŸ™

three people tending to trees in an enchanted sparkly forest. Each of the people has long curly brown hair, light brown skin, pointed ears, and wears a long blue dress. They have various gardening tools, like scythes and trowels with them, and one carries a bag with an image of a slice of watermelon. One is pouring an urn of water onto the roots of a tree. The trees are filled with birds and squirrels, and with pieces of paper with illustrations of fruit with various facial expressions on them. The illustrations of fruit are slightly different from one tree to another.

Was brainstorming with my partner on an abstract for an upcoming (legal) conference. I provided Claude with our discussion and two abstract drafts and asked it to turn it into an executable python script. It makes more sense than an executable conversation about legal materiality has any right to!

Sorry, that should have been β€œpublic preview” not β€œpublication preview”. You got it though πŸ˜†

Great question. We don’t use user queries for training, but the product is in publication preview, so data privacy can not yet be guaranteed. Do not include PPI in prompts, for example.

Seqera Community The community home for Seqera and its products: Nextflow, MultiQC and more.

Nothing from Slack in the training or fine tuning. It does have online access to community.seqera.io, but again not in the training/tuning.
