| The Rundown: Microsoft's GitHub just announced that it is expanding its AI coding assistant to include models from Anthropic and Google, alongside a series of new updates and features to the platform — breaking from the company's traditional OpenAI exclusivity. | The details: | The platform will allow developers to switch between assistants, including Claude and Gemini, although OpenAI's models remain the default choice. GitHub also introduced Spark, a new feature that allows users to build applications with natural language prompts. The platform announced features including multi-file editing, Copilot code reviews, new agentic updates to Workspaces, and Apple Xcode support. GitHub's decision to embrace multiple AI providers comes as its Copilot service reaches a major milestone with over a million paying subscribers.
| Why it matters: While some may point to even more smoke from the Microsoft-OpenAI relationship, this move may simply acknowledge that different models excel at different tasks. If GitHub prioritizes giving users the best developer experience, having model choice is a no-brainer — even if it ruffles exclusivity feathers. |

| The Rundown: OpenAI is developing its first custom semiconductor with Broadcom and TSMC while expanding its chip supplier base to include AMD alongside NVIDIA, according to a new report from Reuters. | The details: | OpenAI has reportedly assembled a team of about 20 engineers, including former Google TPU designers, to develop an AI chip targeted for 2026. After initially exploring options to build its own chip factories, OpenAI is instead opting to partner with Broadcom for design and TSMC for manufacturing. The company also plans to add AMD's new MI300X processors to its training infrastructure, reducing reliance on Nvidia's GPUs. The moves come as OpenAI faces mounting compute costs, with reports suggesting the company could lose $5B this year despite $3.7B in revenue.
| Why it matters: The AI boom drives unprecedented demand for specialized chips, forcing industry leaders to rethink their hardware strategies. Scaling compute power is the key to unlocking more powerful AI — and the race may be won or lost on hardware strategy rather than just model capabilities. |

| The Rundown: Biotech startup Iambic Therapeutics just revealed Enchant, an AI platform designed to predict how drug candidates perform in human trials before leaving the lab. | The details: | The multimodal AI system combines extensive laboratory data with limited clinical information to predict a drug's potential success early. Enchant sets new accuracy marks for predicting human drug interactions, achieving a 74% correlation compared to the previous 58% SOTA score. The technology can begin making reliable predictions after studying five drug molecules, requiring minimal human trial data to generate insights. Enchant processes multiple types of research data simultaneously, helping bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical outcomes.
| Why it matters: One of healthcare's biggest challenges is the massive failure rate of drugs during human trials, despite years of promising lab results. By cutting development timelines and identifying issues earlier, Iambic's AI can reshape how new medicines reach patients — while reducing the billions spent bringing drugs to market. |
