Utah is leading the country, way out in front, for consumer health AI company offerings, approving multiple pilots. None have published a peer review paper. One is selling their own proprietary products as part of its "end-to-end" AI healthcare.

A ‘hello world’ milestone for Project Suncatcher 🚀

After launching our prototype satellite a few weeks ago, we’ve now successfully sent a command up to orbit, booted up the TPU, ran the prompt, and received our first complete response back on earth - a haiku!

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.

The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.

Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.

Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Peaceful protest is fast becoming an oxymoron in India.

Nobody is questioning the right to protest. Article 19 gives it. But Article 19 also says peaceably and without arms. That second half keeps going missing whenever this argument is made.

Look at how most protests play out now. Day one is placards and slogans. By day three, roads are blocked, buses are torched, police are pelted with stones and ambulances are stuck in traffic.

In the earlier protest in July, over 100 policemen were injured. Peaceful slogans don't do that.
And the moment the police respond, the same crowd that was peaceful becomes the victim of an oppressive state.

Democracy gives you the right to protest. It doesn't give you the right to hold a city hostage. The daily wage worker who lost a day's pay and the patient who missed a hospital slot have democratic rights too.

@sanjaymanjrekar , cricket has the perfect parallel. You can appeal to the umpire. You can't uproot the stumps and call it an appeal.

Peaceful protest, always. Just keep it peaceful before you use democracy as the shield.

@sanjaymanjrekar Sanjay Manjrekar sparked significant controversy by telling the Wankhede Stadium crowd to "behave" during an IPL 2024 match!! Where is democracy and decency when you do commentary!!

Watching Elon Musk this week has been a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires.

They arrive in your country selling you the future. Welcome them, and you’re a country that wants progress. Make them wait, and suddenly your people are victims who need rescuing from their own institutions by the chosen one.

It’s a pattern. When Thai rescuers didn’t use the mini-submarine Musk sent for the trapped boys, and diver Vernon Unsworth called the idea impractical, Musk attacked him as the “pedo guy.”

When Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered X to comply with its rulings, Musk called the judge a “dictator.”

The script rarely changes. Only the country does.

The colonial mindset isn’t always about wanting to rule a country. Sometimes it’s the assumption that you arrive as its saviour, and if the country doesn’t immediately recognise you as one, something must be wrong with the country.

NYP Reporter: Prior to boarding Air Force One to depart Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation disposed of every item provided to them by their Chinese hosts. Gifts, badges, pins, and commemorative items were all dumped into a trash bin on site. The directive was absolute, no item of Chinese origin was permitted to board the aircraft. The precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members had left all personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of the trip.

Today we’re introducing two big steps for health at OpenAI:

- ChatGPT for Clinicians, a free version of ChatGPT designed for clinical work
- HealthBench Professional, a new benchmark to evaluate real clinician chat tasks

We’re excited about what this can unlock for care. ❤️

RAG vs. CAG, clearly explained!

RAG is great, but it has a major problem:

Every query hits the vector DB. Even for static information that hasn't changed in months.

This is expensive, slow, and unnecessary.

Cache-Augmented Generation (CAG) addresses this issue by enabling the model to "remember" static information directly in its key-value (KV) memory.

In fact, you can combine RAG and CAG for the best of both worlds.

Here's how it works:

RAG + CAG splits your knowledge into two layers:

↳ Static data (policies, documentation) gets cached once in the model's KV memory

↳ Dynamic data (recent updates, live documents) gets fetched via retrieval

This gives faster inference, lower costs, and less redundancy.

The trick is being selective about what you cache.

Only cache static, high-value knowledge that rarely changes. If you cache everything, you'll hit context limits. Separating "cold" (cacheable) and "hot" (retrievable) data keeps this system reliable.

You can start today. OpenAI and Anthropic already support prompt caching in their APIs.

I have shared my recent article on prompt caching below if you want to dive deeper.

👉 Over to you: Have you tried CAG in production yet?

And splashdown!

America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely.
Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars.

This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next.

And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you.

Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.
