The Series A round, which included participation from North Island Ventures and existing investors, brings New York-based Mural's total funding to $28 million.
OpenAI is acquiring startup Orchestra Bio and plans to merge it with its life sciences AI platform Rosalind. The goal is to build AI agents that help pharma teams coordinate drug development, from tracking trials to spotting problems. Developing a new drug in the US takes ten to 15 years on average. OpenAI already works with Novo Nordisk and Moderna on AI-driven pharma research.
Enterprises are deploying AI agents on top of incomplete and siloed workforce data that sit scattered across HR and finance systems and a decade of point solutions, each with its own definitions and blind spots.
Some of the most interesting moments in music production come when an arrangement won’t work. The groove is there and the melody is promising, but something
Google is integrating AI-related changes into its software engineer hiring process, according to internal documents. These updates include evaluating candidates for AI fluency and allowing AI use in coding interviews. Interviewers can also use Gemini for feedback.
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is a minor update to DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, delivering substantial improvements across reasoning, coding, agentic tasks, and visual benchmarks. Alongside these gains, the model reduces task execution time and output length, enabling users to complete…
Self-calibrating monitors adapt their threshold online to guarantee a prescribed long-run false-alarm rate under arbitrary drift. We compute the price of that guarantee, stating every law with its exact domain of validity. First, the guarantee is an accounting identity,…
A robot policy is trained with one of two action parameterizations: absolute joint targets, or deltas relative to the current state. The choice is a live engineering decision in robot learning, and a world model conditioned on actions inherits it silently. We show the…
The Fresnel wave surface governs the propagation of light in a transparent biaxial crystal. It is a special Kummer quartic, and we identify it exactly. Over the complex numbers the wave surface of a crystal is the Kummer surface of the Jacobian of an explicit genus-two curve…
A fundamental challenge in deploying vision models is domain shift, which arises when training and test data follow different distributions, leading to degraded performance. This challenge is amplified when the same semantic concept appears under distinct visual forms, such as…
