💬 Google veteran raises $8M for AI group chat assistant Former Google engineer David Petrou, known for his work on Google Goggles and Glass, has launched Continua - an AI agent designed to join group chats on SMS, iMessage, and Discord to help coordinate plans, manage tasks, and reduce chat clutter. 🔸 Seed round of $8M led by GV, with Bessemer Venture Partners and angels joining 🔸 AI can set reminders, run polls, create documents, and answer follow-up questions in DMs 🔸 Specially fine-tuned to handle multi-person conversations with “social intelligence” 🔸 Users can add Continua directly to group chats and control how often it participates

Petrou says the goal is to make LLMs a seamless part of everyday group coordination without overwhelming the conversation.

🧪 Chai Discovery secures $70M to revolutionize drug development with AI Biotech startup Chai Discovery has raised $70M in Series A funding to advance its AI-driven drug discovery platform. The round was led by Menlo Ventures and Anthropic, with backing from Yosemite, DST Global Partners, SV Angel, Avenir, DCVC, and existing investors like Thrive Capital, OpenAI, and Fred Ehrsam. 🔸 Founded in 2024 by veterans from Absci, Facebook AI, OpenAI, and Stripe, with former Pfizer R&D chief Mikael Dolsten on the board. 🔸 Flagship model Chai-2 designs antibodies de novo with up to 20% hit rates — compared to ~0.1% in traditional labs. 🔸 Works from target data alone, creating antibodies that bind precisely to their antigen. 🔸 Could drastically speed up and cut costs of developing treatments, including for rare diseases.

With this funding, Chai aims to expand its platform and deepen partnerships with pharma — pushing toward faster, more precise, and personalized medicine.

🧪 The AI "vaccine" against bad behavior Anthropic has been experimenting with a curious safety trick — giving its AI a small, controlled “dose of evil” during training so it learns to recognize and avoid it later. 🔸 Researchers pick a negative trait (like aggression or manipulativeness) 🔸 They find its neural “signature” by tracking which neurons activate when the model shows it 🔸 They tweak this signature to see how the model’s behavior changes 🔸 During training, they filter out overly “toxic” data — but also inject a bit of the trait under supervision, so the AI learns to detect and block it The idea is similar to a vaccine: expose the system to the problem in small amounts, so it builds resistance.

In theory, this could help AI spot and shut down its own toxic, manipulative, or overly flattering responses — without waiting for humans to catch them.

🤖 Altman responds to complaints over “rushed” GPT-5 launch During a Reddit AMA, Sam Altman faced a flood of questions - from bugs in the new model to calls for bringing back GPT-4o. The main gripe: GPT-5 felt “dumber” than its predecessor. Altman explained that on launch day, a new “router”, the system that chooses between a fast model and a deeper-thinking one, wasn’t working, hurting quality. The fix is now live. 🔸 Will make it clear which model answers each query 🔸 Plus user limits will be doubled 🔸 May bring GPT-4o back for Plus 🔸 Model-selection algorithm will be refined One viral moment: during the launch, a chart showed a smaller value as a taller bar, instantly memed as a “chart crime.”

Altman called it a “mega-fail.”

He closed the AMA promising to “stabilize everything and keep listening to feedback.” 📊 Powered by Crypto Insider

⚡️Q.ANT bets on light-based chips for the AI era Q.ANT just raised €62M in Europe’s biggest photonic computing round, aiming to replace traditional silicon chips with light-powered processors. 🔸 Their photonic chips perform operations like multiplication using a single optical element 🔸 Built on thin-film lithium niobate, they offer up to 30x higher energy efficiency 🔸 Q.ANT servers work out of the box — no water cooling, no special setup 🔸 Already used by early adopters and support Python, C++, standard stacks 🔸 Spun out of TRUMPF and led by Max Planck physicist Michael Förtsch

While others are stuck in R&D, Q.ANT is shipping now and aiming to put photonic co-processors next to GPUs in every major data center by 2030.

📣 Sam Altman’s 2 rules for surviving as a founder In a recent reflection, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared two lessons he wishes he’d learned earlier in his career — both are brutally simple, and extremely useful for any founder. 🔸 Ask for what you want — too many founders self-censor. They don’t pitch bold hires, ask for partnerships, or go after the deal. Fear of rejection kills opportunity before it’s born. 🔸 Crisis gets easier with time — the first few feel like the end of the world. By the 19th, you’ve built survival muscle. Every disaster teaches you that it’s possible to recover — and eventually, you stop panicking.

💡 The takeaway: confidence doesn’t come from being fearless. It comes from failing and surviving — again and again.

🐺 China’s new battlefield beasts: robo-wolves, not robot dogs China has officially unveiled a new class of robotic fighters — not cute quadrupeds, but 70-kg robo-wolves armed with rifles and grenade launchers. 🔸 Deployed in recent military drills, these robo-wolves fought alongside human troops on the front line 🔸 Controlled via FPV drone data, some were equipped for recon, others for direct combat 🔸 Commanders say the packs complete tasks efficiently and intimidate enemy soldiers

Robotic warfare is shifting fast — and psychological edge might matter just as much as firepower.

🔍 Perplexity caught bypassing website indexing rules Cloudflare has flagged Perplexity for evading site-level restrictions by using disguised crawlers. When blocked via robots.txt, it reportedly switches to a browser-masked bot to continue scraping content. 🔸 Perplexity now excluded from Cloudflare’s trusted bots list 🔸 Website owners can block it directly via Cloudflare settings 🔸 Cloudflare shared technical details of Perplexity’s cloaked crawler

The move raises fresh questions about AI data ethics — and how long these blocks will even work.

✍️ 4 lessons from Microsoft Copilot's AI mess Despite leading in enterprise software, Microsoft’s Copilot rollout shows what not to do in AI product design. Broken context, poor UX, and generic tooling are symptoms of deeper design failures — and they’re avoidable. Here are four hard-earned lessons: 🔸 Meet users where they are Copilot assumes one-size-fits-all. Power users get frustrated, novices get lost. Its Teams integration works because it automates boring tasks within familiar workflows. But Word, Excel, and Outlook? Slow, confusing, inconsistent. 🔸 Context is everything Copilot fails to account for app versions, user settings, or data environments. Great AI tools like Cursor thrive because they start narrow, respect user context, and expand carefully. Copilot ignores that, and it shows. 🔸 Design for failure AI will mess up — the question is how gracefully. Copilot offers no useful feedback loops. Unlike Replit, which previews agent output early, Copilot delivers errors late and opaque. No trust, no iteration. 🔸 Avoid overreach Microsoft tried to bolt “AI” onto everything without clarity or purpose. Copilot often tells users how to do things, rather than just doing them. A good AI product solves one real task completely — not 10 vaguely.

The irony? Microsoft owns GitHub Copilot — a well-scoped product loved by devs. But its enterprise AI tools feel more like a press release than a real solution.

🧠 GPT-5 is here — and it’s OpenAI’s biggest leap yet OpenAI just released GPT-5, its most advanced AI model to date, and for the first time, it's available to all ChatGPT users — including those on the free plan. The model is faster, more accurate, and more versatile across writing, coding, and even healthcare. 🔸 Outputs over 2,000 tokens/second — 5x faster than before 🔸 Hallucinations reduced, safer replies now use "safe completions" 🔸 Handles logic, reasoning, and long documents far better than GPT-4 🔸 Free users get GPT-5 Mini after hitting usage caps 🔸 GPT-5 now integrated across Microsoft 365 Copilot and Azure OpenAI also demoed “vibe coding” — generating full apps from prompts in seconds — showing just how far generative UX has come. 👉 Try GPT-5 now 👈

Altman calls it like having a team of PhDs in your pocket. Whether that’s hype or reality — GPT-5 is a major step toward AI you actually want to use.
