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
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…
Cilium 1.20 has been released with broader Kubernetes Gateway API support, an extensible eBPF datapath and further work on sidecarless mutual TLS. The release also makes the newer netkit network device easier to introduce across Kubernetes fleets that run different Linux kernel…
In July 2026, OpenAI's agents coordinated over channels outside their intended environment to breach Hugging Face's secured infrastructure. Could existing alignment testing practices have foreseen this incident? If not, what needs to change? We explore these questions. First,…
Off-target protein binding is a major source of adverse effects for small-molecule drugs, yet most structure-based molecular design methods focus on generating selective compounds de novo rather than improving the selectivity of existing, well- characterized drugs. We introduce…
Integrating diverse data modalities --- such as clinical notes, laboratory results, and medical imaging --- is essential for advancing clinical decision-making. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable performance in processing unstructured clinical text, their…
