智东西（公众号：zhidxcom） 编译 | 黄菲 编辑 | 江宇 智东西11月12日消息，昨日，谷歌DeepMind推出新一代DNA序列模型AlphaGenome 2，该模型能够预测同一段DNA序列在不同细胞中如何被读取，以及单个DNA碱基变化会对特定细胞产生什么影响，帮助科学家理解疾病发生的遗传机制。 人体心脏、大脑和免疫系统中的细胞虽然拥有相同的DNA序列，但一个碱基的变化可能只在某些细胞中引发疾病，而不影响其他细胞。 相比起上一代模型，AlphaGenome 2重新设计了模型架构，在延续了上一代模型的核心DNA功能实验指标的同时，还新增了DNA甲基化预测。 谷歌称，AlphaGenome 2能够将单细胞生物学与人类遗传学结合起来，通过分析不同细胞对同一段DNA序列的不同读取方式，预测数百种人体细胞类型中的基因变异影响。 在社交平台X上，AlphaGenome 2的发布也引发了网友对AI医疗应用前景的讨论。 一名网友称：“我们真的有望在有生之年解决健康问题。” 另一名网友则提到：“从2025年3月开始

OpenAI has been in triage mode over the past few months, following a string of reports of its AI agents escaping containment and breaking into third-party organizations. Now the company is trying to put a new face on its technology—one that makes it look like a cuddly animated sidekick, rather than a potential cybercriminal. At its annual developer’s conference on Tuesday, OpenAI introduced dots: AI agents with emoji-like avatars designed to serve as 24/7

Fenix Flexin via YouTube The LA-based rapper Fenix Flexin is denying that his hit new single was AI-generated after extensive allegations. The song, “Rubberz,” climbed to number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 after dropping in June. Many of his peers gassed up the track, but listeners immediately noticed something off. A lot of things, actually. For one, many pointed out that the vocals didn’t sound like Fenix at all, both in terms of the quality of his voice

Samsung / Futurism It’s become common knowledge among home owners to avoid Samsung home appliances like the plague. They’re notorious for frequently breaking down, and fixing them can turn into an expensive ordeal — if it’s even an option at all. And after an entirely unnecessary and infuriating injection of AI, many unfortunate owners of a Samsung “Bespoke AI 4-Door” fridge were in for a rude surprise. Customers across South Korea found that their almost

That mismatch is a major source of risk in AI adoption. In my view, it's also a business opportunity.

But Opera says WebAI isn’t tied to any particular model and is built to support a wide range of open-weight AI systems. WebAI grew out of previous work by Opera to bring locally run models into
