Swipe ⬅️ to catch up on the biggest AI and tech stories from the last 7 days.

Anthropic acquired a one-person biotech startup whose founder used Claude to help develop an experimental treatment. NVIDIA open-sourced a speech model that can handle 40 languages and overlapping voices, then released MotionBricks for fast AI-generated character animation. Anthropic also launched ready-made Claude tools for legal work.

Claude was used to rebuild an Airbnb as a full 3D walkthrough from a few photos, while a startup used research on living brain cells to build a video model that generates clips faster and cheaper.

Reddit shares fell 29% as Google’s AI answers cut into search traffic, and Andrej Karpathy used Claude to build his own YouTube alternative in two hours. Sam Altman argued that keeping RAM inside personal computers wastes scarce memory that could serve AI workloads in data centers.

A startup also built glasses that turn silent speech into text at over 200 words per minute, while Google ran an AI chip in space as an early test for future orbital data centers.

Simulon showed AI characters that can react to your actions, voice and surroundings inside real footage. Google released Genie 4, which creates playable worlds in real time, while China’s AI stock index fell 40% from its peak, wiping out around $480 billion in market value.

And one developer built a free AI app that turns IKEA manuals into interactive 3D assembly guides.
