The UK will establish the world's first AI biosecurity laboratory, supported jointly by OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind

The UK announced it will establish a national-level AI biosecurity laboratory, supported jointly by OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind, with the government investing £100 million for this purpose, while OpenAI and Anthropic will additionally provide AI model usage credits worth up to £200 million. The laboratory is officially described as the world's first institution dedicated to AI biosecurity; it will use AI to detect and monitor biosecurity threats and will cooperate with Google DeepMind and life sciences company Basecamp Research, though its specific functional structure has not yet been fully disclosed. This package of measures also includes an additional £120 million for the UK AI Safety Institute and an additional £23 million for the planned UK AI Economy Institute.

Pichai responds to Hassabis stepping down as DeepMind head and Jeff Dean leaving Google

Alex Heath relays Sundar Pichai's explanation for Demis Hassabis stepping down as head of DeepMind and Jeff Dean leaving Google. Pichai called it a natural evolution after the individuals' long-term commitment, and mentioned that Jeff Dean will go work on Discovery Loop; he said frontier model development has become high-intensity, large-scale work spanning data, compute, algorithms, and team management, while Hassabis wants to devote more time to safely advancing the frontier and using AGI to solve other problems, with AlphaFold and Isomorphic as examples of such applications.

Former Google DeepMind researcher founds London AI company Metis Reasoning, focusing on compute-efficient reasoning

Metis Reasoning, a London AI company co-founded by former Google DeepMind research lead and AlphaGo co-creator Thore Graepel, has officially launched, seeking a compute-efficient path distinct from the frontier models of Anthropic and OpenAI, and is believed to have raised tens of millions of dollars in initial funding. The company has a team of 12 people, including researchers, mathematicians, robotics experts, and technology entrepreneurs. It believes that LLMs have fundamental limitations in reasoning, that results are difficult to verify, and that there is a lack of audit trails; its approach is more verifiable, more robust, and safer, and it says it has already achieved some positive results on frontier reasoning problems at a cost far below that of frontier models. Metis has not yet announced a release date for its first AI model.
