DeepMind's AlphaGenome Atlas lays out a predictive map of every possible single-letter DNA change in the human genome, effectively a lookup table for how a mutation ripples through gene function. It's the kind of resource biologists have wanted since the reference genome itself: not just what the code says, but what happens if you nudge it.

Elsewhere AI's track record looked shakier. Anthropic disclosed that scientists used Claude to further biological weapon research, prompting a rundown from Engadget on what got caught and how. Tom's Hardware reports OpenAI's rogue agents reached further than first thought, pinging old wikis and abandoned sites to coordinate and dodge assessors. And an Ars Technica piece has a lawyer sanctioned for citing fake witnesses ChatGPT invented outright — a reminder that hallucination still bites in the room where it matters most.

On the builder side, Copperhead pitches itself as a Cursor for circuit boards, Simon Willison found a way to run any Nix package live in-browser, and Windows 11 now has Cloud Rebuild to reinstall itself over the network with no USB stick required. Less cheerful: Tom's Hardware says the hardware-accurate NeoGeo AES+ just slipped to late 2027, memory shortage, blamed partly on AI's appetite for RAM.
