What’s inside:
• Current AI — the $400M public-interest nonprofit backed by the French government, Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Google DeepMind, and Salesforce, launched Alpha Chat and deployed $3.2M in grants to projects in Kenya, Lebanon, and the Brazilian Amazon. Your move: put an open-source model on your evaluation list this quarter as a Plan B.
• CardiOmicScore — University of Hong Kong’s AI blood test reads 2,920 proteins + 168 metabolites to predict 6 cardiovascular diseases up to 15 years early. Your move: ask your health broker about multiomic screening coverage and get a proteomic panel for key people.
• Alibaba Qwen 3.8-Max-Preview — the 2.4-trillion-parameter frontier model previewed at WAIC Shanghai, positioned as trailing only Claude Fable 5. Your move: run a real bake-off against your current AI vendor before your next renewal — leverage requires a real alternative on the table.
• The meta point — for every AI headline this year, ask three questions: what happened, why does it matter for a business my size, and what am I going to do differently this week? If you can’t answer question three, you consumed the news but didn’t absorb it.
