āļøMicrosoftās Quantum Computing Breakthrough

Microsoft unveiled āMajorana 1,ā the worldās first Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) thatās designed to scale to a million āqubits.ā
Key Details:
A Quantum is the smallest discrete unit of a phenomenon. For example, a Quantum of electricity is an electron.
While Traditional Computers use ābitsā (i.e., 0 or 1) to process information, Quantum Computing uses āqubitsā (i.e., 0 or 1, or both at the same time).
The Quantum State is when a āqubitā has the potential to be either 0 or 1, but itās not one or the other yet. Itās like a Coin flipping in the air; itās both heads and tails until it lands.
āMajorana 1ā aims to maintain the Quantum State for as long as possible by using ātopological qubits,ā which are based on exotic particles called Majorana Fermions.
Why Itās Important:
The Quantum State enables you to explore a vast number of possibilities at the same time.
Quantum Computing can solve a complex problem in Minutes that would take a Supercomputer 10 Septillion Years to complete.

CONVERGENCE AI
š„OpenAI Just Got DeepSeekād Again!

Convergence AI just released āProxy 1.0,ā the worldās most capable Web-Based AI Agent thatās free to use.
Key Details:
āProxy 1.0ā can autonomously click, scroll, type, browse, and navigate the web for you.
It can Buy Gifts on Amazon, Job Hunt on LinkedIn, summarize Pull Requests on GitHub, or Book Reservations on a restaurantās website.
āProxy 1.0ā was developed by a London-Based Startup with just 24 Employees and $12 Million, which is only 0.067% of OpenAIās Budget.
Why Itās Important:
Convergence AI is directly competing with OpenAIās āOperator,ā an AI Agent that fills out forms, orders groceries, and creates memes.
But āOperatorā is only available for ChatGPT Pro Plans in the U.S., which costs $200 per month.
AI RESEARCH
š§¬Arc Institute Develops ChatGPT for DNA

Image Source: Arc Institute/āGenome modeling and design across all domains of life with Evo 2ā/Screenshot
Arc Institute developed āEvo 2,ā a biological Foundation Model trained on DNA to predict, design, and understand genetic sequences.
A Foundation Model is an AI model trained on massive amounts of diverse data so it can be applied across a wide range of use cases. āEvo 2ā was trained on over 9.3 trillion Nucleotides (i.e., fundamental building blocks of DNA) from more than 128,000 species.
While other AI models like OpenAIās ChatGPT are trained on text, āEvo 2ā learns from the information encoded within DNA, enabling it to generate DNA Sequences of over a million Bases.
A DNA Sequence is a specific order of the four Nucleotides that make up a strand of DNA: Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), and Thymine (T). A Base is one of the four Nucleotides.
