OPENAI STARTS OFFERING A BIOLOGY-TUNED LLM

GPT-Rosalind is a large language model developed by OpenAI specifically trained on common biology workflows. It is able to access major public databases of biological information. The model can suggest likely biological pathways and potential drug targets. It has been tuned to be more skeptical so it can tell users when something is a bad drug target. Access to the model is limited to selected US-based entities via OpenAI's trusted access deployment structure.

PHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE, A HOT ROBOTICS STARTUP, SAYS ITS NEW ROBOT BRAIN CAN FIGURE OUT TASKS IT WAS NEVER TAUGHT

Physical Intelligence, a San Francisco-based robotics startup, has published new research showing that its latest model can direct robots to perform tasks they were never explicitly trained on. The new model, called π0.7, is an early but meaningful step towards a general-purpose robot brain. The model still can't execute complex multi-step tasks autonomously from a single high-level command, but it can be verbally coached to perform new tasks without additional data collection or model retraining. It is still in a research phase and not yet ready to be deployed as a product.

THE CLIP ECONOMY

Clips - snippets of long-form content - have taken over the entire media ecosystem. TBPN, a podcast recently purchased by OpenAI for $200 million, only draws in around 7,000 views per episode. However, the average TBPN clip receives around 257,000 views. TBPN bakes ads directly into its clips, which helped it generate $5 million in revenue last year. Clips are now the main product for a lot of media, rather than a byproduct.
