    BIG TECH & STARTUPS

    GOOGLE CO-FOUNDER LARRY PAGE REPORTEDLY HAS A NEW AI STARTUP (1
    MINUTE READ) [6]

    Dynatomics is a new company by Google co-founder Larry Page that is
    focused on applying AI to product manufacturing. The company aims to
    create highly optimized designs for objects and then have a factory
    build them. The effort is being run by Chris Anderson, the previous
    CTO of electric airplane startup Kittyhawk. Other companies exploring
    the ways AI could be used to improve manufacturing processes include
    Orbital Materials, PhysicsX, and Instrumental.

    SPACEX STARSHIP SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL IN SECOND STRAIGHT TEST FLIGHT
    FAILURE (3 MINUTE READ) [7]

    SpaceX's Starship spiraled out of control while in space during a
    test on Thursday - this is the second launch in a row that the vehicle
    has run into a fatal problem on its way to orbit. Flights into major
    Florida airports were briefly halted. The booster was successfully
    caught for the third time by the launch tower. SpaceX had made
    improvements to the lines that send fuel to Starship's engines,
    changed the temperature of the propellent, and added extra vents and a
    purge system ahead of the recent test flight.

    SCIENCE & FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGY

    SCIENTISTS DISCOVER THOUSANDS OF NEW MICROBIAL SPECIES THRIVING IN
    THE MARIANA TRENCH (7 MINUTE READ) [8]

    The Mariana Trench Environment and Ecology Research Project has added
    over 6,000 new microbes to the number of species found at the deepest
    regions of the ocean. Its investigations have revealed two adaptations
    that allow the microbes to thrive under intense pressure and a mutated
    gene that could boost their ability to survive. The study of these
    organisms could yield new medications and information that could be
    useful for engineering pressure- or radiation-resistant proteins.

    INTUITIVE MACHINES IS SET FOR LUNAR LANDING - WITH HOPPING DRONE,
    ICE DRILL, AND 4G (4 MINUTE READ) [9]

    Intuitive Machines' Athena moon lander didn't crash, but it may not
    be upright. The lander was set to descend at Mons Mouton, a plateau
    near the lunar South Pole, at no earlier than 12:32 PM ET on Thursday.
    It contains a drill to search for ice, a 4G network test, three
    rovers, and a first-of-its-kind hopping drone. It is unclear how the
    imperfect landing may impact the mission. Athena launched last
    Wednesday aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

    A QUARTER OF STARTUPS IN YC'S CURRENT COHORT HAVE CODEBASES THAT ARE
    ALMOST ENTIRELY AI-GENERATED (3 MINUTE READ) [13]

    While each of the founders that Y Combinator funded in its current
    cohort is highly technical and completely capable of building their
    own products from scratch, a quarter of the startups have 95% of their
    code bases generated by AI. Product builders who rely heavily on AI
    will need to be good at reading code and finding bugs. VCs and
    developers have been excited about AI-powered coding, with multiple
    startups raising hundreds of millions of dollars in funding in the
    last 12 months.

    THE HOTTEST AI COMPANIES RIGHT NOW ARE `APPS' (7 MINUTE READ) [14]

    AI wrappers are all the rage today - startups are offering AI
    chatbots, research tools, and other software applications for coding, clinicians, and customer service, all built at least in part on large
    language models. Investors are eager to put money into these services.
    However, some have started to question the wisdom of AI companies
    powering billions into developing models as companies like DeepSeek
    have proven competitive options can be created for much less. One of
    the biggest concerns with AI app companies is that a large language
    model developer may decide to compete directly with them, but it is
    unlikely that AI developers will build verticalized apps for every
    single possible use case.
