+++ DeepMind's SynthID Bio embeds invisible signatures into AI-designed proteins, solving the fun problem of biosecurity while making it harder to pass off synthetic biology as your own work. Integrity through provenance, finally. +++
+++ Anthropic is locking itself into half a trillion dollars of compute spending over a decade, with most of it non-negotiable. Turns out scaling laws require actual scale, and someone has to pay for it. +++

"As agents take on longer and more complex problems, controlling the execution becomes a task in its own right. Each step in the run brings new control choices, like which partial work to build on, whether to start fresh, or when to stop. We introduce agentic meta-reasoning, an inference-time harness..."
