🔬“We have foundation models for language, not for physics” — Anima Anandkumar, Bren Professor of Computing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years ago, Caltech Prof. and co-founder of Accelerated Understanding, Anima Anandkumar set out to develop the first open-source weather model with AI. Talking to experts in the field, she was met with skepticism. Weather is chaotic, physics simulations are hard, have been developed for decades, and require supercomputers, the data just isn’t there. Despite reservations, Anima went forth and built. Within a year her team had developed FourCastNet , a predictive model that is competitive wit
Simulation: the new Scaling Law — Joon Sung Park, Simile AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we first dicsussed the Summer of Simulative AI in 2024 we knew it would be a brief summer, but it has recently come back with a vengeance with SimGym in April and now Simile AI’s $2B Series B , backed by GreenOaks and Index Ventures with prominent backers like Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy, running tens of millions of simulations for Fortune 100 clients like CVS and 85–99% accuracy vs human focus groups. Time to catch up on why this Second Summer of simulation is working! From creating Sma
🔬The BioAI Phase Shift - Matthew McPartlon & Neil Patil, Chai Discovery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This January, four big AI × Pharma tools deals were announced at the huge JPM Pharma conference that takes over San Francisco every year. OpenAI-backed Chai Discovery ( now worth $4B ) was somehow at the heart despite being all of 2 years old. The Science team is proud to bring you the first podcast with cofounder Matt McPartlon and product lead Neil Patil to tell the full story! Editor’s note: not to be confused with Chai AI , which was another top pod of ours. Pharma suddenly doing big AI tool
The Inference Engineering Masterclass — Philip Kiely & Ali Taha, Baseten (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Watch the full episode on YouTube: We first covered Baseten last year when DeepSeek mania was at peak hype. Now they have raised a monster $13B round and become one of the new cohort of AI Infra decacorns that are (with Nvidia, Intel, and the semis complex) chief beneficiaries of the Inference Inflection . We return to Baseten at the peak of the 2026 edition of Open Weights debate . Ali has published a viral breakdown of Kimi K3 : And since you last saw him, Philip has spoken at AI Engineer and
Codex from 0 to 10M Users: Building ChatGPT Work — Akshay Nathan, OpenAI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are roughly 100x more people who use code than who can write code. As code that “just works” becomes easier to generate, this group may be the biggest prize of all — if you can get the agentic interface right. A key trend we have been tracking over at AINews is the absolute explosion in Codex usage this year , with MAU now up >10x from Jan 2026 . Less than two weeks after their July 9th launch , OpenAI said ChatGPT Work and Codex had reached 10M users c ombined (as we cover in the pod, Cod
