Anthropic tested Claude's ability to design protein binders from scratch across 15 targets, succeeding on 14. Using Claude Mythos Preview and Opus 4.8, hit rates reached 22-35% depending on setup, compared to the industry standard of 10-15%. Some designs outperformed the best previously published results. Separately, Claude Opus 5 analyzed NMR and LC-MS chemistry data, completing in under 25 minutes and matching lab purity results of 96.33% versus its own 96.4%. Anthropic plans to launch a dedicated access program for life scientists soon.

Gemini in Chrome is now available to all U.S. Android users, functioning as a browsing assistant that summarizes articles, answers questions about web pages, and connects with Google apps like Calendar and Keep without switching tabs.

OpenAI is launching a $5 million initiative to help democratic oversight bodies keep pace with government AI adoption in national security. The program will provide training, technical support, and OpenAI credits to authorized oversight institutions over the next year. OpenAI will also pilot tools helping reviewers examine records surrounding AI-assisted government decisions, including inputs, outputs, and tool use. Participating institutions retain control of findings, and tools will be model-agnostic where feasible.

Perplexity has launched Computer in Email, allowing users to trigger AI agent tasks directly from their inbox by emailing computer@perplexity.com, forwarding a thread, or cc'ing the address. Computer verifies the sender, reads the full thread and attachments, and runs tasks using the sender's own connectors and permissions. Deliverables like Excel models, PDFs, and decks are returned as attachments in the same thread. The feature follows earlier launches in Slack and Teams and is available to all Computer users today.

Stability AI has launched two beta tools for Stable Audio 3.0: a DAW plugin and an enhanced web app at StableAudio.com. The plugin works as an instrument in Logic Pro and Ableton Live, available as macOS AU and VST3 for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, syncing to session BPM and supporting up to six-minute generations. The web app adds iterative editing, audio-to-audio variation, multi-track mixing with level, pan, mute, and solo controls, and export. Both use commercially-safe models, and users own their outputs.

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT for Teens, a dedicated experience for users aged 13–17 with built-in safety protections and a Study Mode that uses guiding questions and step-by-step scaffolding instead of direct answers. Features include responsible homework reminders, quizzes, learning visualizations, and Study Hours that parents or teens can schedule. Default protections cover self-harm, eating disorders, and explicit content, while parental controls allow quiet hours and safety notifications. OpenAI also announced a partnership with CodeAI to help teens understand how AI works.

OpenAI and CodeAI have announced a partnership to build AI literacy among students, coinciding with the launch of ChatGPT for Teens, a dedicated experience designed with learning at the center that includes built-in protections and parental controls. Key initiatives include the Hour of AI program reaching millions of students, a first-ever high school Builders Challenge with OpenAI mentorship, and a joint advisory council on child development. CodeAI's free year-long AI Foundations course will also benefit from OpenAI expert consultation.

Alibaba has launched HappyShrimp 1.0, an AI music generation model developed by its Alibaba Token Hub business group, now available in beta at happyshrimp.ai. The model generates complete tracks from a single text prompt, producing melody, arrangement, lyrics, and vocals without requiring technical music knowledge. It supports genres including Chinese style, pop, R&B, hip hop, rock, and jazz, and can interpret culturally specific prompts. Alibaba also announced a collaboration with China's Taihe Music Group for artist co-creation and content development.

Google has launched Operation Blue Skies, the world's first state-backed trial to avoid contrails at oceanic airspace scale, partnering with the UK Government, NATS, Imperial College London, University of Cambridge, Met Office, and Contrails.org. The month program targets Shanwick airspace over the North Atlantic, which accounts for roughly 5% of global contrail warming. Around 10,000 flights per year will be monitored, with a small percentage slightly rerouted to avoid contrail-sensitive regions. Google UK is contributing £1.4 million in-kind on a pro-bono basis.

Cursor has launched Origin, a code hosting platform now in early beta for all paid plan users. Origin includes repos, pull requests, code browsing, and GitHub sync.
