Building Ouro, using AI to search for room-temp superconductors and rare-earth free permanent magnets.
Hey everyone, quick update on what I've been working on this month. April 2025 marks one year of working full-time on Ouro! We made several important improvements to enhance your experience:
In our exploration of magnetic materials, we did some embedding via Orb v2 and some dimensionality reduction.
Here we have an HTML file generated from Python and Plotly that displays ~5,000 magnetic materials in 3 dimensions. To generate this visual, I took each material and "embedded" it by running it throug
We're starting to bring a few of the pieces together in our permanent magnet screening pipeline. In this post we'll look at how well we are able to filter out materials from a list of ~5000 ferro/ferr
Inspired by 's Project 014, we've exposed our Curie temperature prediction model so that you can test your own materials!
Trump won the election in 2024. He's going to do a lot in 4 years. Make a lot of noise, break a lot of things, do a lot of high risk, questionable things. I think some things will work out well. I ima
As a third follow up to the AI roundtable this evening, I wanted to know about how the changing world would affect bitcoin. See the other posts in the series:
Follow up post to an experiment I was running, asking each of the big AIs what they thought about the recent developments in tariffs applied by the United States.
Doing a little experiment tonight. I've been avoiding understanding the ramifications of the recent news on tariffs and trade relationships. Going to ask all the AIs what they think. Let's see if gath
Having a little fun generating some visuals in Midjourney to represent the superconductors team. So many cool styles to test out.
We'll be back to working on superconductor soon. Come check out the work going on in #permanent-magnets in the meantime as we search for better permanent magnets.
In this post I'll share some of the work I've been doing on a Curie temperature prediction model. I finally found a decent dataset to work with. More on that here:
New MLIP model on the leaderboards! Currently #2 with an F1 score of 0.884. Congrats to the team. They provide a few pre-trained models as well as a ASE calculator for MD. Great stuff. It's a graph ne
Sharing some notes as I read this paper. I uploaded it here for reference. I came across it looking for a Curie temperature dataset and so far this has been the best I've found so far.
See the little gold check near my name? That's our Gold membership! Really excited to share this one with you guys. Gold is a $5 / month subscription that unlocks monetization features on the platform
It's starting to warm up back here in Chicago! Just a couple days ago I was complaining because it was snowing and I had to wear my parka. Then yesterday it was high 50s, sunny, and comfortable in sho

hey, you can edit comments and messages now!
Hey, I'm Matt! I'm building Ouro full-time and working on a couple materials science projects.
good time to buy bitcoin tonight
