| The Rundown: Researchers just unveiled an AI model called ECgMLP that identifies endometrial cancer with 99.26% accuracy from microscopic tissue images—drastically outperforming human specialists and current automated methods. | The details: | ECgMLP uses specialized attention mechanisms to spot cancer cells in microscopic tissue images that doctors might miss during standard analysis. Current human diagnostic methods for endometrial cancer only achieve 78-81% accuracy, far below this model's accuracy of more than 99%. Researchers also tested its versatility across other cancers, detecting colorectal (98.57%), breast (98.20%), and oral (97.34%) with high accuracy.
| Why it matters: Medical diagnostics are undergoing a major shift, with AI now consistently outperforming humans in life-saving detection tasks. With many cancers being highly treatable when caught early, these models will save a lot of lives — and eventually democratize access to expert-level cancer screening worldwide. |

| The Rundown: Tencent just released Hunyuan T1, a new reasoning model that matches DeepSeek's R1 in performance and pricing—while tapping the industry's first hybrid Transformer-Mamba architecture for improved efficiency. | The details: | T1 matches or surpasses rivals like DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI's o1 and GPT 4.5 across benchmarks, excelling especially in math and Chinese language evals. Tencent claims the model is the first to combine Google's Transformer architecture with Carnegie Mellon and Princeton researchers' Mamba system. The hybrid approach reportedly delivers 2x faster speeds while reducing computing demands, particularly when handling long-text reasoning tasks. As for pricing, T1 matches DeepSeek's competitive rates at 1 yuan ($0.14) per million tokens for input and 4 yuan ($0.55) per million tokens for output.
| Why it matters: Between DeepSeek, Tencent, and Alibaba, China's AI labs have almost completely closed the gap with the U.S. leaders — something that felt extremely far off just a year ago. With the next-gen R2 also coming soon, China feels closer than ever to officially taking the lead for the world's top AI models. |

| | AI TRAINING | | | The Rundown: In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Synthesia's AI video platform to create personalized videos using AI avatars and add them to your emails to increase response rates. | Step-by-step: | Create a free Synthesia account, select a template, and add your script and on-screen text to create a basic video. Add personalization variables using double curly brackets in both your script and on-screen text, then convert to a template. Use your template to create individual videos by filling in the variable fields for each recipient. Copy video thumbnails as GIFs directly into your emails and add call-to-action buttons to drive conversions.
| Pro tip: You can also check out our extensive workshop showing how to create hyper-personalized video messages that drive engagement with Synthesia here. The Rundown University's paid members will also get a 30% discount on the Creator Plan. |

| | PERPLEXITY | |  | Image source: Perplexity |
| The Rundown: AI search startup Perplexity just published its proposal to acquire TikTok's U.S. operations, promising to rebuild the platform's algorithm with transparency and American oversight while integrating its own search tech. | The details: | Perplexity plans to reconstruct TikTok's recommendation system in American data centers, promising full transparency by making the algorithm open-source. The company would integrate its AI citation capabilities with TikTok videos, enabling users to cross-reference info in real time while watching content. Perplexity also proposed enhancing TikTok with Nvidia Dynamo technology to scale recommendation models "100x" while improving inference speed. The vision includes cross-platform benefits, with TikTok videos in Perplexity search results, and Perplexity's information engine powering TikTok searches.
| Why it matters: Perplexity has had a wild few years, evolving from an AI search startup to developing its own models, partnering on an AI phone, building an AI browser, antagonizing Google in commercials, and now bidding on TikTok. It could be another publicity stunt, but the ban deadline is April 5 — so we'll find out soon enough. |
