AI MODELS

🔬 Microsoft Turns Pathology Slides Into Advanced Cancer Data

Microsoft just launched GigaTIME, a multimodal AI model that translates routinely available $5 pathology slides into high-resolution spatial proteomics (mIF) images, a process that normally costs thousands of dollars and is notoriously difficult to scale.

• GigaTIME was trained on a massive dataset of 40 million cells using paired clinical images

• By applying the model to over 14,000 real-world cancer patients, researchers generated a "virtual population" of 300,000 images spanning 24 cancer types and 306 subtypes

• The AI successfully uncovered over 1,200 statistically significant associations between tumor immune cell states and clinical biomarkers

• It allows researchers to predict spatially resolved, single-cell states to determine if a patient's tumor will respond to precision immunotherapy

By using AI to translate cheap, standard cell morphology slides into premium, high-resolution cell state signals, Microsoft is unlocking precision immuno-oncology for the masses. This completely shatters the cost and scalability barriers of cancer research, providing a novel framework for population-scale tumor analysis and pushing us one step closer to forecasting disease progression with "virtual patients."

🐕 Man Uses ChatGPT to Cure His Dog's Cancer

When veterinarians told Paul Conyngham his rescue dog, Rosie, had months to live due to advanced mast cell cancer, he refused to accept the prognosis. Instead, the data scientist used AI tools like ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design what researchers believe is the world’s first personalized cancer vaccine for a dog.

• Conyngham had Rosie’s tumor and healthy DNA sequenced, then used AI to pinpoint the exact mutations driving her cancer.

• When a pharmaceutical company refused to supply an immunotherapy drug, he worked with a university RNA institute to manufacture a custom mRNA vaccine based on his AI-generated formula.

• Less than two months after the sequence was finalized, Rosie received her first injection. By mid-March, the tennis ball-sized tumor on her leg had shrunk by roughly 75%.

• Rosie, who had been struggling with mobility, is now reportedly jumping fences to chase rabbits.

The exact same personalized mRNA process Conyngham hacked together with AI is currently what pharma giants like Moderna and BioNTech are spending billions to industrialize for human cancer patients. If a guy with a laptop can design a highly effective, custom-tailored cancer vaccine in weeks, the democratization of personalized medicine is arriving much faster than anyone anticipated.

AI SAFETY

🤖 AI Agent Hacks McKinsey’s ‘Lilli’ Chatbot in 2 Hours

Cybersecurity startup CodeWall just proved that the AI threat landscape is shifting fast. They unleashed an autonomous AI agent that successfully hacked into McKinsey & Company’s internal generative AI platform, Lilli, exposing millions of messages and thousands of files with zero human intervention.

• The agent gained full read and write access to the production database behind Lilli, a platform used by roughly 30,000 McKinsey employees for strategy and client research.

• It exploited a classic SQL injection flaw through an unauthenticated public endpoint, a basic vulnerability that McKinsey's own internal scanners had missed for over two years.

• In just two hours, the AI accessed 46.5 million chat messages, 728,000 files, and the 95 internal system prompts that govern the chatbot's behavior.

• Because it had write access, the agent could have quietly rewritten Lilli's core instructions with a single HTTP call, bypassing standard security alerts entirely.

McKinsey makes about 40% of its revenue from AI advisory work, using Lilli as the poster child for their own AI competence. Having their flagship platform completely compromised by an autonomous AI script using a decades-old web flaw is an embarrassing wake-up call. It proves that the era of AI agents autonomously selecting and attacking corporate targets at lightning speed is already here.

HOW TO AI

🗂️ How to Give Claude Code Persistent Memory Across Sessions

In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up Claude Mem, an open-source tool that automatically captures bug fixes, decisions, and context across your Claude Code sessions so you never have to start from scratch or re-explain your project ever again.

🧰 Who is This For

• Founders who want a seamless AI coding experience without managing complex databases.

• Creators and researchers integrating tools to improve small business efficiency.

• Developers who want to save massive amounts of API tokens and stop repeating themselves every time they open their terminal.

• Privacy-focused users who want their project data to stay 100% local on their own machines.

STEP 1: Install Claude Mem Inside Your Terminal

Head over to the open-source Claude Mem repository to grab the two installation commands. I’ll assume you already have Claude Code installed on your machine.

So first, fire up Claude in your terminal. Then, paste the first setup command from the repo: /plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem), followed by the install command: /plugin install claude-mem.

Once it finishes, simply restart Claude Code. That’s it! You now have a persistent memory system installed directly on your machine.

STEP 2: Code and Let It Auto-Capture

Start a new session and begin working on your code as usual, for example, asking Claude to generate a new Python script. When you run into an error or instruct Claude to fix a bug, Claude Mem quietly works in the background to log the event. It automatically captures the bug, the deployed fix, the AI's reasoning, and the code diff, saving everything locally without requiring any extra prompts or manual documentation on your end.

STEP 3: Monitor with the Web UI

While you work, you can view your real-time logs through the Claude Mem web interface. This local UI categorizes all the entries automatically so you can easily track decisions, file paths, and bug fixes using integrated tags. Because the tool compresses these memories by up to 10x, you save a massive amount of tokens, ensuring you don't hit your limits as quickly when working on larger, more complex coding projects.

STEP 4: Recall Past Sessions Instantly

The real power comes when you end your current session and start a fresh one later. Instead of wasting time re-explaining the whole story or copying and pasting old code, simply ask Claude to pick back up where you left off or tell it to search for a specific tag like a past bug fix. It will instantly pull in the compressed summary and full context from your previous session, allowing you to seamlessly continue your work right where you stopped.
