Anthropic is entering drug development after acquiring Mithril Medicine, a one-person biotech researching treatments for rare muscular dystrophies. Its first experimental treatment has already shown promising results in mice.

Founder Cody Tranbarger used Claude to coordinate experiments across 11 external labs, reaching early results in under 18 months. Anthropic aims to begin human trials as early as late 2028.

Claude also helped drugmaker Enveda draft a regulatory filing in four hours instead of roughly three months. The AI assistant is starting to look like a pretty capable lab colleague.

The parents of Bowen Wan, a 31-year-old Amazon engineer who died in February, sued OpenAI and Sam Altman, alleging ChatGPT's medical advice contributed to their daughter's death.

The lawsuit claims ChatGPT created a 25-day plan to stop Wan's seizure medication and encouraged her to hide it from doctors. A medical examiner attributed her death to epilepsy.

OpenAI called the case heartbreaking and said it has since retired GPT-4o. The lawsuit raises a serious question about how strictly AI chatbots should limit personalized medical advice.

TikTok launched Must Eat, an in-app restaurant guide built from more than 40 million food posts, reviews, and comments. It starts in New York City, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Users can filter by cuisine, price, rating, and distance across two tabs, Everyday Eats and Elevated Dining, and book select spots through OpenTable. TikTok says restaurants can’t pay to make the lists.

TikTok says 27 million Americans visited an independent restaurant, café, or shop for the first time after finding it on the app. Now it wants to keep those diners from opening Yelp at all.

Google DeepMind unveiled Genie 4, a world model that turns text prompts into explorable, photorealistic scenes in real time. It’s the first Genie model to generate audio, including music, ambient noise, and character dialogue.

Users move with keyboard controls and change scenes mid-stream with plain-language prompts, like shifting the weather or adding characters. Scenes now stay consistent for up to two minutes, double Genie 3’s limit.

For now, only trusted testers get in, with AI Ultra subscribers and Gemini API partners next. Even DeepMind admits longer scenes still drift, so the holodeck needs a few more patches.

Apple unveiled a 14-inch MacBook Pro with its new M6 chip, up to 24 hours of battery life, and Wi-Fi 7. It starts at $1,999 and ships November 6.

Apple says the M6 packs a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, delivering up to 30% faster graphics and 25% faster AI workloads than the M5. The MacBook also supports Bluetooth 6.

Apple also unveiled a $1,499 M6 iMac after Monday's iPad mini announcement. With its "Pro and Tell" event still ahead on Wednesday, Apple has already turned launch week into a rollout.
