AI-Driven Antibiotic Breakthrough
- MIT used AI to generate and screen 36 million theoretical compounds for antibacterial activity and safety.
- Two novel molecules, NG1 and DN1, worked in mice and attacked bacteria via new mechanisms.
GPT-5 Exceeds Doctors On Med QA
- GPT-5 (GIMATI-5) outperformed licensed doctors on a multimodal medical expert QA benchmark by large margins.
- The model showed stronger reasoning and understanding across text and multimodal inputs than test authors.
Favor On-Device Models For Privacy
- Prioritize on-device and offline AI to increase accessibility and privacy for users.
- Use small efficient models like Gemma 327DM to enable battery-friendly, local assistants and offline features.
