OpenAI debuts GPT-Rosalind, a new limited access model for life sciences, and broader Codex plugin on Github

The journey from a laboratory hypothesis to a pharmacy shelf is one of the most grueling marathons in modern industry, typically spanning 10 to 15 years and billions of dollars in investment. Progress is often stymied not just by the inherent mysteries of biology, but by the “fragmented and difficult to scale” workflows that force researchers to manually pivot between the actual experimental design equipment, software, and databases. But OpenAI is releasing a new specialized model GPT-Rosalind specifically to speed up this process and make it more efficient, easier, and ideally, more productive. Named after the pioneering chemist Rosalind Franklin, whose work was vital to the discovery of DNA’s structure (and was often overlooked for her male colleagues James Watson and Francis Crick), this new frontier reasoning model is purpose-built to act as a specialized intelligence layer for life sciences research. By shifting AI’s role from a general-purpose assistant to a domain-specific “reasoning” partner, OpenAI is signaling a long-term commitment to biological and chemical discovery. What GPT-Rosalind offers GPT-Rosalind isn’t just about faster text generation; …

Anthropic took down thousands of GitHub repos trying to yank its leaked source code — a move the company says was an accident

Anthropic took down thousands of GitHub repos trying to yank its leaked source code — a move the company says was an accident

Anthropic accidentally caused thousands of code repositories on GitHub to be taken down while trying to pull copies of its most popular product’s source code off the internet. On Tuesday, a software engineer discovered that Anthropic had, seemingly by accident, included access to the source code for the category-leading Claude Code command line application in a recent release. AI enthusiasts pored over the leaked code for clues about how Anthropic harnesses the LLM that underlies the application, sharing it on GitHub. Anthropic issued a takedown notice under US digital copyright law asking GitHub to take down repositories containing the offending code. According to GitHub’s records, the notice was executed against some 8,100 repositories — including legitimate forks of Anthropic’s own publicly released Claude Code repository, according to irate social media users whose code got blocked. Anthropic’s head of Claude Code, Boris Cherny, said the move was accidental and retracted the bulk of the takedown notices, limiting it to one repository and 96 forks with the accidentally released source code. “The repo named in the notice …

A European AI challenger goes after GitHub Copilot: Mistral launches Vibe 2.0

A European AI challenger goes after GitHub Copilot: Mistral launches Vibe 2.0

Mistral AI, the French artificial intelligence company that has positioned itself as Europe’s leading challenger to American AI giants, announced on Tuesday the general availability of Mistral Vibe 2.0, a significant upgrade to its terminal-based coding agent that’s the startup’s most aggressive push yet into the competitive AI-assisted software development market. The release is a pivotal moment for the Paris-based company, which is transitioning its developer tools from a free testing phase to a commercial product integrated with its paid subscription plans. The move comes just days after Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch told Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the company expects to cross €1 billion in revenue by the end of 2026 — a projection that would still leave it far behind American competitors but would cement its position as Europe’s preeminent AI firm. “The announcement is more of an upgrade and general availability,” Timothée Lacroix, cofounder of Mistral, said in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. “We produced Devstral 2 in December, and we released at the time a first …
