Eli Lilly signs a landmark $2.75 billion deal with AI drug pioneer Insilico Medicine, offering $115 million upfront to fast-track AI-generated drugs across multiple disease areas into global markets.
Anthropic's most powerful AI model yet, Claude Mythos, has been exposed in a data leak, revealing it dramatically outperforms previous models in coding and cybersecurity — but comes with alarming warnings that it is 'far ahead of any other AI model in cyber capabilities' and could enable large-scale AI-driven cyberattacks.
A new five-phase agent evaluation checklist is reshaping how teams build reliable AI systems, urging developers to manually review real agent traces, design specialized graders, and integrate continuous feedback loops into production pipelines.
Anthropic's accidental leak of nearly 3,000 internal files reveals 'Claude Mythos,' a powerful new AI model surpassing Opus 4.6 in coding, reasoning, and cybersecurity, while OpenAI quietly prepares a rival model codenamed 'Spud' — with both companies racing to launch flagship models ahead of their anticipated IPOs.
A new benchmark called FinMCP-Bench launches to rigorously test AI models on real-world financial problem-solving, featuring 613 samples, 65 real financial tools, and 33 sub-scenarios designed to measure both tool invocation accuracy and reasoning capabilities across mainstream large language models.
AI photo 'restoration' tools are fabricating history by inventing details that never existed, and experts warn that no workflow refinement can justify altering the visual identity of real people — true conservation means preserving what exists, not generating fiction.
MIT's new AI model VibeGen is revolutionizing molecular engineering by designing proteins based on their motion and vibrations rather than static structure, potentially unlocking breakthroughs in adaptive medicine and next-generation biomaterials like self-healing components and biodegradable plastics.
Vercel's newly open-sourced json-render framework lets AI models convert natural language prompts into live UI components across React, Vue, Svelte, and more, earning 13,000 GitHub stars since its January 2026 launch while sparking debate over whether it reinvents existing standards or genuinely disrupts how AI connects to rendering layers.
A Los Angeles jury finds Meta and YouTube liable for deliberately designing addictive products that harm young people, marking a landmark 'big tobacco' moment for Silicon Valley as share prices drop, a separate $375 million ruling hits Meta in New Mexico, and governments worldwide race to restrict social media access …
Google launches Gemini 2.0 Flash Live via its Live API, giving developers the power to build real-time voice and vision AI agents with support for over 90 languages, reduced latency, and improved noise filtering across industries ranging from elder care companions to interactive gaming.
