AI Designed Drugs
By the end of 2026, the first drug a machine designed from scratch is meant to enter a human body. The numbers behind AI-designed drugs, and what they prove.
The Two Ledgers
A $965B Anthropic IPO, $920M-a-month compute deals, 150,000 tech layoffs, and a worker revolt. The AI bubble debate in 2026 is two true stories at once.
Long Memory
Google’s Titans architecture and new AI memory frameworks are solving catastrophic forgetting — the 40-year-old problem that kept AI systems perpetually amnesiac.
Gene Writers
AI models trained on 9.3 trillion DNA base pairs are now writing novel genomes – and the first AI-designed viruses already outperform their natural ancestors.
The Recursive Loop
Over 80% of Anthropic’s production code is now written by Claude. One AI patched 800 bugs in days — work that would have taken a human 4 years.
Body Electric
In April 2026, a Chinese robot ran a half-marathon in 50:26 – faster than any human ever has. What the Beijing race reveals about physical AI today.
Brain Twin
Meta’s TRIBE v2 predicts how a human brain reacts to sights, sounds, and language — a milestone in AI-driven neuroscience with big implications for medicine and privacy.
Mind Meter
A new scientific framework scores chatbots, bees, and chickens on the same scale of awareness — and reveals how little we know about consciousness itself.
Thirty Day
A new executive order asks AI labs to give the U.S. government a 30-day private preview of frontier models before public release. Here’s what it means.
Worldview
Yann LeCun, DeepMind, and Fei-Fei Li are betting billions that “world models” — AI that simulates physical reality — will surpass language models.
