🔬 Google’s multi-agent AI co-scientist

The Rundown: Google just launched an AI co-scientist, a multi-agent research assistant (built on Gemini 2.0) that accelerates scientific discoveries by generating and validating recent hypotheses across areas like medicine, genetics, and more.

The main points:

• The system deploys six specialized AI agents working in parallel, from hypothesis generation to validation of research proposals and final review.

• In trials at Stanford and Imperial College, the system identified recent drug applications and predicted gene transfer mechanisms in only days.

• Initial testing shows 80%+ accuracy on expert-level benchmarks, outperforming each existing AI models and human experts.

• Google is rolling out access through a Trusted Tester Program, targeting research organizations globally for trials across multiple scientific domains.

Why it matters: Recently, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said next-gen models will start discovering “recent bits of scientific knowledge.” Google’s AI co-scientist now appears to be following that path. What we’re seeing is the early stage of a brand new era where AI will function an integral a part of scientists’ toolkits.

MICROSOFT

🎮 Microsoft’s game-generating Muse AI

The Rundown: Microsoft researchers just introduced Muse, an AI model that may generate minutes of cohesive gameplay from a single second of reference frames and controller actions.

The main points:

• Muse is the primary World and Human Motion Model (WHAM) with the power to predict 3D environments and actions for producing consistent game structures.

• The model creates unique, playable 2-minute sequences that follow actual game physics and mechanics from only a single second of gameplay input.

• It has been trained on over seven years of continuous gameplay data, covering 1B+ images and controller actions, from the favored Xbox game Bleeding Edge.

• Microsoft is open-sourcing Muse’s model weights, demonstrator tool, and sample data, allowing other developers and researchers to construct on the discharge.

Why it matters: Game development requires several months of character design, animation, and testing, but models like Muse could cut down this cycle to mere days. It won’t be long before AI-created games are climbing the charts — and Elon seems to agree, given his recent xAI gaming studio reveal.

AI TRAINING

📱 Construct phone apps with zero code

The Rundown: Windsurf permits you to create fully functional mobile applications using its AI assistant and plain English commands, all without writing a single line of code.

Step-by-step:

1. Install Windsurf and Xcode (with iOS 17.5 simulator) for testing

2. Create a brand new project using ‘npx create-expo-app your-app-name’

3. Use Cascade AI assistant to construct your app by describing its features in plain English.

4. Test and refine your app using the iOS simulator.

Pro tip: We did an intensive workshop on constructing using Windsurf with Kevin Hou, the Head of Product Engineering at Codeium. You may access it here (alongside an exclusive, free Rundown University member code for a 2-month Windsurf Pro plan).

ARC INSTITUTE AND NVIDIA

🧬 The biggest AI model for biology

The Rundown: Arc Institute and Nvidia just released Evo 2, an upgrade to its genome foundation AI model trained on over 9T DNA constructing blocks from 128,000 species (the complete tree of life) — making it the most important AI system for biological research and design.

The main points:

• The model processes sequences as much as 1M nucleotides long, enabling evaluation of entire bacterial genomes and human chromosomes without delay.

• Evo 2 achieved 90% accuracy in predicting cancer-causing gene mutations during testing, also successfully designing working synthetic genomes.

• The system was trained on 2,048 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, with its 40B parameters matching the dimensions of top language models.

• Arc is making Evo 2 freely available through NVIDIA’s BioNeMo platform, allowing researchers worldwide to make use of and construct on the tech.

Why it matters: As AI models start mastering individual biological tasks like protein folding, Evo 2 is a shift toward systems that understand life’s code as a complete. The power to work across species at scale could transform how we approach every thing from drug development to synthetic organisms.
