Dynatomics is a new company by Google co-founder Larry Page that is focused on applying AI to product manufacturing. The company aims to create highly optimized designs for objects and then have a factory build them. The effort is being run by Chris Anderson, the previous CTO of electric airplane startup Kittyhawk. Other companies exploring the ways AI could be used to improve manufacturing processes include Orbital Materials, PhysicsX, and Instrumental.
SpaceX's Starship spiraled out of control while in space during a test on Thursday - this is the second launch in a row that the vehicle has run into a fatal problem on its way to orbit. Flights into major Florida airports were briefly halted. The booster was successfully caught for the third time by the launch tower. SpaceX had made improvements to the lines that send fuel to Starship's engines, changed the temperature of the propellent, and added extra vents and a purge system ahead of the recent test flight.
The Mariana Trench Environment and Ecology Research Project has added over 6,000 new microbes to the number of species found at the deepest regions of the ocean. Its investigations have revealed two adaptations that allow the microbes to thrive under intense pressure and a mutated gene that could boost their ability to survive. The study of these organisms could yield new medications and information that could be useful for engineering pressure- or radiation-resistant proteins.
Intuitive Machines' Athena moon lander didn't crash, but it may not be upright. The lander was set to descend at Mons Mouton, a plateau near the lunar South Pole, at no earlier than 12:32 PM ET on Thursday. It contains a drill to search for ice, a 4G network test, three rovers, and a first-of-its-kind hopping drone. It is unclear how the imperfect landing may impact the mission. Athena launched last Wednesday aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

It will roll out to Enterprise, Edu, and free users next week. The ChatGPT app for Windows will get direct editing soon.
While each of the founders that Y Combinator funded in its current cohort is highly technical and completely capable of building their own products from scratch, a quarter of the startups have 95% of their code bases generated by AI. Product builders who rely heavily on AI will need to be good at reading code and finding bugs. VCs and developers have been excited about AI-powered coding, with multiple startups raising hundreds of millions of dollars in funding in the last 12 months.
AI wrappers are all the rage today - startups are offering AI chatbots, research tools, and other software applications for coding, clinicians, and customer service, all built at least in part on large language models. Investors are eager to put money into these services. However, some have started to question the wisdom of AI companies powering billions into developing models as companies like DeepSeek have proven competitive options can be created for much less. One of the biggest concerns with AI app companies is that a large language model developer may decide to compete directly with them, but it is unlikely that AI developers will build verticalized apps for every single possible use case.
Some of the languages developers are using other than C, C++, Rust, and Go include Zig, Odin, OCaml, and Nim.
Diffusion large language models start all at once and then gradually come up with sensible words simultaneously - the technique is creating models that outperform similar-sized large language models in code generation.

Ethereum has underperformed Bitcoin and the ETH/BTC ratio falling to levels not seen since 2018, prompting a grassroots "Brand Hack" initiative to address Ethereum's marketing shortcomings. While Ethereum prioritized decentralization over scalability—a technically sound decision evidenced by its dominance in stablecoin TVL—it has failed to effectively communicate its value proposition or cultivate the cultural relevance enjoyed by competitors like Solana. One remedy is to position Ethereum as "The Internet You Can Own" and implement an Intel Inside-inspired marketing program, where applications built on Ethereum would display a certification logo in exchange for financial and ecosystem support.
SIMD 228, a proposal to reduce Solana's token emissions, argues that the current system creates significant economic inefficiencies by recycling value from SOL holders back to stakers while exposing participants to substantial tax liabilities and middleman fees. With Solana currently emitting approximately 28 million SOL annually (worth $4.7 billion), reducing these emissions could save the ecosystem $100-400 million per year that otherwise leaks to governments through unfavorable tax treatment where staking rewards face ordinary income rates instead of capital gains.
