    Anthropic Acquires One-Person Pharma Company Mithril Medicine, AI Giants Rush into the Pharmaceutical Industry

    On October 27, Anthropic disclosed the acquisition of Mithril Medicine, a biotechnology company with only one full-time employee. Its founder used Claude to coordinate 11 external laboratories and, in less than 18 months, advanced a candidate therapy for a rare muscular dystrophy to mouse experiments with preliminary positive results. Anthropic also disclosed collaborations with six institutions including Bristol Myers Squibb and Generate Biomedicines, covering molecular design, experimental optimization, drug manufacturing, and clinical trial planning, and has listed life sciences as an important application market for frontier AI in its prospectus. OpenAI announced on October 20 the acquisition of drug R&D collaboration platform Orchestra Bio, Google's Isomorphic Labs is collaborating with Eli Lilly and Novartis, and Anew Labs, spun off from ByteDance, is said to have completed approximately $290 million in financing.

    Anthropic's prospectus discloses mixed use of four types of chips, potentially weakening Nvidia's pricing power

    In the S-1 registration statement published on Monday, Anthropic said it has integrated computing resources from multiple strategic partners into a unified, flexibly allocatable pool, and allocates tasks according to each chip's performance advantages in different scenarios. It uses four types of chips to train Claude and provide services: Amazon Trainium, Google TPU, Nvidia GPU, and AMD GPU. Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy believes that customers able to shift tasks across four platforms are in a different position in negotiations, and what may really be affected is Nvidia's pricing power; IDC analyst Ashish Nadkarni said a multi-chip strategy can also reduce sensitivity to fluctuations in Nvidia chip supply.

    Trump says he will formally ban the term AI in relevant documents, renaming it SI Superintelligence

    Trump posted on Truth Social on the 27th, saying that he will soon formally prohibit the use of the term artificial intelligence (AI) in all relevant documents and other occasions, on the grounds that the expression is inaccurate, but did not explain how the ban would be implemented. Previously, on September 29, he signed an executive order requiring all executive departments and agencies to replace AI with superintelligence (SI); Reuters reported on October 7 that the U.S. Department of Justice had issued instructions to internal staff to use superintelligence in the vast majority of occasions, including court documents.

    Anthropic acquires one-person pharma company Mithril Medicine and partners with six institutions to advance AI drug discovery

    Anthropic's life sciences team has established research collaborations with six institutions—Generate Biomedicines, Divergence Labs, BigHat Biosciences, Enveda, The Column Group, and Bristol Myers Squibb—and has acquired Mithril Medicine, a biotech company independently run by Cody Tranbarger, to directly conduct drug R&D. Anthropic says Claude has delivered quantifiable improvements in molecular design, manufacturing document review, regulatory filings, and clinical trial planning; for example, Enveda used Claude to review 1,061 pages of documents, which identified all 11 issues found by humans and flagged 7 additional ones, cutting manual review time from over 25 hours to under 3 hours. Anthropic says it plans to significantly scale up this work, and if the candidate drugs perform well, it expects to be ready to begin human clinical trials as early as the end of 2028.

    OpenAI Announces Three Results in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics; Academia Questions Release Method

    OpenAI announced three breakthroughs in the fields of mathematics, computer science, and physics, and said it will adjust the way it releases the results. The mathematics result is said to prove the Kakeya conjecture in all dimensions; the computer science result claims to disprove the exponential time hypothesis; the physics result is not yet public and has been left to an external expert team to decide the release format. Researchers interviewed by The Verge acknowledged the weight of the results but were dissatisfied that OpenAI selected the experts and restricted access; the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AGMAI) called for the immediate release of the natural-language manuscript and Lean formal proof of the physics result.

    OpenAI and Anthropic simultaneously claim their internal models overturned the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH)

    OpenAI and Anthropic announced almost simultaneously that their respective internal models had overturned the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), which has dominated theoretical computer science for 27 years. Anthropic said its Claude research model independently found the core algorithm on October 16 with 14 million output tokens and zero human input, and that Claude is the sole named author of the paper; both companies have publicly released Lean formal proof code, and ETH proposers Russell Impagliazzo and Ramamohan Paturi are jointly conducting a line-by-line review with teams including MIT. The original article also notes that a large number of complexity lower-bound research conclusions that presuppose the truth of ETH need to be re-evaluated.

    Two core members of Claude Code depart; Microsoft and Meta simultaneously scale back internal Claude usage

    On October 24, Claude Code core engineer Thariq Shihipar and desktop version creator Anthony Morris successively announced their departures, about three weeks before Anthropic's planned IPO. The Information previously reported that Microsoft cut its annual budget for internal use of Anthropic technology by more than one-third, and the number of Meta employees using Claude Code internally dropped from about 60,000 to about 30,000, though Meta still spent more than $105 million on Claude Code in the most recent 28 days. The article also mentions that Anthropic's revenue for the six months ended June 30 was about $16.3 billion, with a net loss of $80.7 billion, and some investors have lowered their fair valuation from about $2 trillion to about $1.5 trillion.

    Amazon Updates Engineer Work Guidelines: Evaluations Look at Business Value, Not AI Usage

    Amazon has updated its working guidelines for software engineers in the AI era, emphasizing that evaluations should look at how much business value engineers create, rather than how much AI they use. Vice President and Distinguished Engineer Turk Tekowitz stated that data such as token consumption, AI tool usage, and code reviews are somewhat related to work outcomes, but one cannot look only at the numbers; treating these metrics as goals may lead to negative results. The new guidelines also require managers to focus on examining the teams ranked in the bottom 10% and top 10% for AI adoption, and allow positions that are temporarily unable to benefit from AI tools to record the specific reasons.

    Fields Medal winner Richard Borcherds cancels scored homework and switches to in-person exams to evaluate students

    Richard Borcherds, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and a Fields Medal winner, announced that he will no longer assign scored homework and will instead evaluate students through in-person exams that prohibit the use of electronic devices, because it is difficult to tell whether homework was generated by AI. He said that average scores on online exams rose significantly, and that grading based on answer correctness would incentivize students to use AI to complete homework and penalize those who solve problems honestly. Berkeley had considered AI detection software but deemed it insufficiently reliable, and ultimately left the authority to set AI use policies to professors, requiring only that the rules be stated in the syllabus.
