AXIOS (Maria Curi) - The secret Trump administration battle to fight Chinese AI

The Trump administration is showing signs it could ban cutting-edge Chinese AI models — a momentous move that could lock in dominance by OpenAI and Anthropic. Why it matters: Parts of the administration have tried to implement de facto bans on foreign open-source models before, knowledgeable sources tell Axios. Last week's rise of Chinese model Kimi is reigniting those efforts. Pro-competition voices fear the implications. - U.S. companies are increasingly using open-source models from China because they're cheaper and, as seen by the advent of Kimi , just about as good as the domestic technology. Behind the scenes: The Commerce Department last year considered adding multiple Chinese AI labs to its "Entity List," which would…

AXIOS (Adriel Bettelheim) - How AI is supercharging drug development

Artificial intelligence is dramatically speeding up drug development — and a proprietary survey shows how it's priming a bigger automation push that's changing the trajectory of early stage pharma research. Why it matters: The TD Cowen survey of 80 biopharma leaders and insiders finds AI is compressing drug developers' preclinical costs and timelines by as much as 70%. - That's fueling demand for cutting-edge software, sequencing tools and computer models that will help churn out more experimental treatments in the next five years. The big picture: AI can't replace scientific intuition. But the way it can streamline the grueling R&D before human testing begins is making computer screens as important a feature of drug design as…
