Insilico Medicine is advancing to Phase III human trials for testing a drug identified by AI targeting idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This progression supplies the computational drug discovery sector with empirical test cases, advancing an AI medicine past early safety evaluations into late-stage efficacy validation. IPF destroys respiratory capacity through severe lung tissue scarring. Patients […]

Liquid AI released Antidoom, an open-source method that targets doom loops in reasoning models. A doom loop repeats a span until the context window is exhausted. Antidoom finds the token that starts the loop and retrains only that position using Final Token Preference Optimization (FTPO). On LFM2.5-2.6B, doom-loop rates fell from 10.2% to 1.4%; on Qwen3.5-4B, from 22.9% to 1%. Generation, detection, and the FTPO trainer are open source.

In this tutorial, we build an autonomous AI co-scientist for EGFR C797S inhibitor discovery. We resolve the target through ChEMBL and UniProt, then mine IC50 records into a clean pIC50 dataset. We use RDKit to standardize molecules, compute Morgan fingerprints, and train a scaffold-split Random Forest QSAR model. We interpret potency drivers with SHAP, then recombine BRICS fragments to generate and rank novel candidates.

OpenAI added two Realtime models to its API. GPT-Realtime-2.1-mini is a mini reasoning model for voice, priced like the earlier gpt-realtime-mini. OpenAI also cut p95 latency by at least 25% through improved caching. Here is what changed, how pricing compares, and how to connect over WebRTC.

Tencent’s Hy team released Hy3, a 295B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that activates only 21B parameters per token. It ships under Apache 2.0 with a 256K context window, targeting reasoning, agentic, and long-context tasks. Hy3 reports 78.0 on SWE-Bench Verified and lower hallucination rates, and is free to try on OpenRouter through July 21, 2026.

I’ve long argued that Hollywood has simultaneously set and ruined our expectations for smart glasses. But after binge-watching two seasons of Netflix’s A Man on the Inside, this is perhaps the first time I’ve seen Hollywood, perhaps inadvertently, illustrate the biggest cultural problem with smart glasses as they stand today.
