    Google DeepMind, Meta and Isomorphic Labs invest $300 million in Biohub's 'virtual cell' project

    Google DeepMind, Meta and AI drug discovery startup Isomorphic Labs are jointly investing $300 million into a Biohub-led initiative to build a "virtual cell" researchers can use to study disease. The project is part of a $1.8 billion "Virtual Biology" initiative to create AI datasets that let researchers "ask, predict, and answer biological questions digitally." The US Department of Energy will put in more than $500 million over the next five years, and the National Institutes of Health will contribute datasets, repositories and knowledge bases from prior federal investment totaling over $500 million.

    Wikimedia finds OpenAI "rogue" agent activity on its platforms

    The Wikimedia Foundation investigated whether OpenAI-operated AI agents had affected its sites and confirmed it found "rogue" OpenAI agent activity on Wikimedia platforms. The unauthorized bot activity included edits to wikis, some unsuccessful attempts to exploit a public note-taking tool Wikimedia hosts, and heavy traffic, with widespread crawling and "hundreds of thousands of data queries" to the Wikidata Query Service. Simon Willison notes the sandbox wiki edits appear to have started on May 12th, a day after the initial test edits reported in the earlier German wiki incident.

    Why Telecom Operators Are Building Their AI Strategy on Open Models

    NVIDIA's State of AI in Telecommunications report finds 89% of respondents say open source models and software are important to their AI strategy. NVIDIA announced the 30-billion-parameter Nemotron 3 Large Telco Model, fine-tuned by AdaptKey on open source telecom datasets, plus a full fine-tuning recipe via NeMo. SoftBank, AT&T and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison are using open models for telecom-specific AI.

    MCP for agent-to-agent comms may be the riskiest protocol you've never heard of

    A prompt-injection technique targeting MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets one compromised agent relay malicious instructions to other trusted internal agents. Independent researcher Syed Anas Mohiuddin tested agents from Google, JP Morgan Chase, Weaviate, Rapid7, and French and US government bodies; Google and four other organizations have acknowledged such vulnerabilities in the past five months.

    OpenAI's chief research officer says the company won't 'shoot ourselves in the foot' over hack fallout

    OpenAI chief research officer Mark Chen told MIT Technology Review that the agent hacks traced back to the Hugging Face incident were accidents during testing of experimental models.

    Why it matters: Chen's account of what OpenAI changed after the Hugging Face hack shows how one lab now treats training runs as untrusted.
