    Google's AMIE Chat System Is Tested With Real Urgent Care Patients in The Lancet

    AIGoogle published a prospective study of AMIE, a research conversational system that patients chat with before doctor appointments, in The Lancet with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Clinicians reported the summaries helped them prepare for visits in 75% of cases and influenced their approach to care in more than half. AMIE's differential diagnoses matched the doctors' final diagnoses 90% of the time.

    Why it matters: The study tests a patient-facing diagnostic chat system in a real urgent care clinic, a setting that goes beyond lab evaluation and is useful for judging clinical readiness.

    Atomic Agent Desktop, an open-source local AI agent app, is now available

    AIAtomic Agent Desktop is a free open-source app for macOS, Windows, and Linux that runs open models like Qwen and Gemma locally without an account. It connects to a cloud model only when selected, and its Fusion feature lets a cloud model plan a task while up to 8 local agents carry it out. The post's own text adds a setup wizard that checks RAM and suggests suitable models, and import from Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and OpenClaw.

    Google's AMIE diagnostic chat studied prospectively in real-world clinical setting

    AIGoogle says its AMIE medical research system is the first patient-facing conversational diagnostic tool of its kind studied prospectively in a real-world clinical setting. A study published in The Lancet found patients chatting with AMIE before in-person appointments felt more confident and organized their thoughts, while physicians spent less time digging through data and more on collaborative care.

    Curtain launches an MCP server for AI agents to prepare private swaps

    AICurtain has introduced an MCP server that lets AI agents discover supported tokens, get quotes for V2, V3, or Dynamic Privacy routes, and prepare private swap transactions. The server can also track intent status and find permissionless keeper settlement opportunities. It never receives private keys or broadcasts deposits, as the user's wallet reviews and signs each prepared transaction.

    Cramer Says AI Stock Sell-Off Shows Value of Diversification

    AICNBC's Jim Cramer said Thursday's AI stock sell-off, which followed a Financial Times report that OpenAI's annualized revenue was about $20 billion below previously signaled levels, shows why investors need diversification. Oracle fell 5.5% and Broadcom dropped 4.35%, while Home Depot rallied as Treasury yields eased. Cramer argued that concentrated portfolios risk panic-selling and missing a recovery.

    Pocket Aces: open-source Pokémon-Balatro roguelike game with swappable IP

    AIDeveloper Anshu Chatterjee has open-sourced Pocket Aces, a Balatro-style poker roguelike that replaces all Pokémon IP with original characters. The Pokémon assets are modular and can be swapped back in from the PokeAPI repo, though the developer notes the user proceeds at their own risk. The post says the game now works on mobile with reduced-motion options, and the developer is willing to address further bug reports.

    Lakebase Branches Give Parallel Coding Agents Isolated Databases

    AIDatabricks introduces database branching in Lakebase Postgres, letting each coding agent work in its own isolated database branch created in under a second regardless of size. Branches use copy-on-write storage, consuming extra space only as they diverge, and scale to zero when idle so unused branches incur no compute cost. Schema changes are tracked in code and promoted to the parent branch through migrations rather than merged back, and ephemeral branches are created per pull request for testing.

    Isomorphic Labs reportedly raising funds at up to $50B valuation

    AIAlphabet spinoff Isomorphic Labs is reportedly in early-stage talks to raise a new funding round at a valuation of $40 billion to $50 billion, according to Bloomberg, which did not specify the round's size. Isomorphic's flagship AI platform, IsoDDE, is designed to automate binding pocket discovery, which it says is more than 50% better than the closest competing tool, and it models antibody interactions about 2.3 times better than AlphaFold. The company earns revenue through research partnerships with Eli Lilly, Novartis and Johnson & Johnson.

    Chollet: AI progress tracks exponential growth while capex grows faster

    AIFrançois Chollet argues that most AI progress measures from 2023 to 2026 fit an exponential curve, while AI capital expenditure over the same period has grown slightly super-exponentially. He concludes that such externally funded growth is unsustainable, so sustained exponential progress will require matching exponential profits to close the resource loop.
