Midjourney, best known for its AI-powered image generation platform, has announced Midjourney Medical to make full-body imaging system to scan a person in just 60 seconds while delivering image quality comparable to MRI. The scanner is based on Butterfly Network ultrasound chips rather than Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), potentially making it significantly faster and less ... Read more
The Moderna Neoantigen selection. A tumor carries thousands of mutations. Only a handful produce peptides that get presented on MHC and recognized by T cells. Moderna’s pipeline takes next-generation sequencing data from tumor and blood samples, reviews the genetic mutations, and predicts up to 34 neoantigens most likely to elicit an immune response. That’s the ... Read more

There are reports that some power users are switching from Claude to SpaceXAI’s $300 SuperGrok Heavy tier. They cite slowdowns in models like Fable 5 and Sonnet 5 amid Anthropic’s usage boost ending August 19. They praise Grok 4.6 for its balance of intelligence and lower per-task costs on agentic tasks. Grok Bot adds always-on ... Read more
Kaplan/Chinchilla scaling laws provide a broad description of the resources needed to improve AI. The measured relationship is that loss falls as a power law in compute: L ≈ L∞ + A·C^(-α), with α somewhere around 0.05–0.07 for language models. Each halving of excess loss costs roughly 10–1000x more compute depending on the exponent. Converting ... Read more
Everything about SpaceX are the AI releases coming out every week. Grok Bot released and it is huge. Easier and more useful than OpenClaw. Productivity will mean super users at companies will use it. You can also get Grok Bot for less than $100 per month. Cursor teams. Grok Bot will become part of Macrohard ... Read more
