    The free version of ChatGPT just got the paid model

    Whatever your company pays for AI, the free tier caught up yesterday. ChatGPT's free users now get GPT-6, the model paying customers use, and answers arrive as working charts, calculators and clickable comparisons instead of walls of text. Hours earlier Anthropic released Haiku 5.5, its cheapest model, at roughly a quarter of the running cost of its predecessor. Two rivals cut the price of good AI on the same day. What I take from it is that the fancy model stopped being the advantage. The advantage sits in what your company does with it, and every competitor received the same upgrade you did.

    The hackers who hit Novo Nordisk explain how AI did the work

    In June Novo Nordisk admitted hackers had been inside its systems. Now Ingeniøren, the Danish engineering weekly, has published weeks of correspondence with the group, FulcrumSec, after reviewing data the hackers leaked. The data shows they had free run of Novo's internal systems and cloud for at least 47 days. They used AI tools to comb through the stolen files for the valuable secrets, including recipes for future weight-loss drugs. Their justification is that Novo's security was embarrassingly poor. It is one outlet's reporting, and Novo says it is still investigating. Seven weeks undetected inside a company with Novo's resources is the number every Danish IT department should now be measured against.

    Zuckerberg, Google and Washington bet on a virtual cell

    Medicine still mostly works by trying things on real cells and real patients, which is why new drugs take so long. Mark Zuckerberg's research institute Biohub, Google DeepMind, Meta and the US Department of Energy committed $1.8 billion yesterday to build AI models of living cells, so that experiments can run on a computer first. The data does not yet exist, so most of the money buys measurements of billions of cells over five years. Look at who is paying. The companies that build chatbots now want to own the data of biology, with public money behind them. Danish pharma gets a gift and a competitor in the same announcement.

    Finland stops Google's diggers, and even Texas has had enough

    Finland has been called the Texas of Europe for its cheap power and easy permits, and in September Google promised €13 billion of data centres there. Now Finnish regulators have ordered work stopped at Google's sites, because hundreds of hectares of forest were cleared without the required environmental assessment. Google admits it fell short of its own standards. Read it next to the real Texas, where the governor froze new data-centre permits last month after requests for grid power reached five times the state's record demand. Two of the most permissive places on earth are saying no. AI's bottleneck has moved from chips to planning permission, and that will show up in your cloud bill.

    China shipped sixteen AI models in a month while America debated slowing down

    For weeks Anthropic's chief executive, Dario Amodei, has asked the industry to slow down. China's answer arrived as a number. DeepSeek, Xiaomi and their peers released sixteen AI models in September alone, Nikkei Asia reports, and the gap between major releases has shrunk from four months to six weeks since spring. American labs keep the same pace. Chinese companies made none of the safety promises American labs gave the White House last week. So the pause debate is happening on one side of the Pacific only, and that will be the argument every US lab reaches for the next time someone proposes a brake.
