🔥 AI's top three founders sat at one table with Trump

OpenAI's Sam Altman, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis joined Trump for lunch at the G7 summit. It was a closed-door gathering of the three people leading AI's frontrunners, plus about a dozen tech executives, and Altman reportedly sat next to Trump and spoke first.
The big topic was how to govern AI together. Amodei and Hassabis pitched a US-led international forum where democratic countries set shared standards for advanced AI models. They talked about how to give access to frontier models, how to cooperate on key components, and how to handle AI safety risks together.
📌 3 things happening today
1️⃣ GPT-5.4 improved a real drug reaction on its own?
ⓒ OpenAI
OpenAI shared a case where GPT-5.4 helped run a drug discovery project end to end. Paired with the autonomous lab of molecule design company Molecule.one, the model proposed a better way to run a reaction widely used in making drugs. Human chemists reproduced 11 of the 14 results by hand, and 8 of them more than doubled the yield.
2️⃣ Google's NotebookLM wants to learn your taste

Two features look like they're coming soon to Google's AI note tool, NotebookLM. One is Personal Preferences, which learns your taste from past chats and work to tailor its answers. The other is AI Editing, which lets you ask the AI to write your note for you. They're not out yet, with only hints showing up in the interface.
3️⃣ Grok Imagine got 2x faster at making videos

Elon Musk's xAI just dropped a new version of its video tool, Grok Imagine 1.5 Fast. A 720p video now takes about 25 seconds, down from 40+, and the quality is better too. In the demo, dropping in a few product photos turned them into a full ad campaign video.

Transform my photo with ChatGPT Image 2 Medium using the prompt below.
Prompt:
Transform the person in the reference photo into a cute soft plush doll version of themselves, sitting in a cozy children's bedroom inspired by classic animated toy movies. The doll preserves the person's overall appearance — same hairstyle, face shape, and clothing style — but rendered as a fabric plush toy with embroidered facial details, soft cotton cloth body, and slightly stylized proportions with a slightly larger head and stubby rounded limbs. The doll wears a miniature version of the outfit from the reference. The doll is sitting on the wooden floor with legs crossed, hands doing a peace sign pose. Background: iconic white clouds on light blue wallpaper, warm wooden furniture, scattered wooden blocks and small toy vehicles, a vintage desk lamp casting warm golden light. Camera at toy eye level, low angle looking slightly upward, shallow depth of field with soft bokeh background. Cinematic animated movie quality lighting, warm and nostalgic mood. The overall aesthetic should look like a high-end collectible doll photo that could exist in a classic toy movie universe.
