As we age, our muscles naturally lose mass, strength, and functionality, which can lead to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s. Recent studies indicate that our mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses that generate 90% of our energy—play a crucial role in this decline, contributing to reduced muscle function as we age. A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, Mitopure® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength, without any change in exercise required. Ready to feel stronger, for longer with Mitopure? Big Data News Weekly readers can take 30% off their first month with code 30NEWSLETTER for a limited time. While supplies last.

Alibaba released Qwen3-Next, a hyper-efficient 80B parameter hybrid model that tops the performance of Qwen3 at a fraction of the training cost. Compared to the MoE structure of Qwen3, Qwen3-Next introduces several key improvements: a hybrid attention mechanism, a highly sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) structure, training-stability-friendly optimizations, and a multi-token prediction mechanism for faster inference.

Google researchers address the bottleneck of slow scientific software development by introducing an AI system powered by Gemini. The system uses tree search and code rewriting to automatically generate, test, and refine algorithms.

AI News:

Microsoft and OpenAI have revised their partnership and reached a "Nonbinding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)” (which isn’t a legally binding document, but does establish expectations from each side) that would allow OpenAI to continue its mission to convert its for-profit arm into a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). This would enable the start-up to raise funds from external investors and, eventually, become a public company.

Adobe is integrating Google’s Nano Banana image model, officially Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, into Photoshop. The tool pairs with Generative Fill to let users expand or alter photos with sharper, more reliable edits. Adobe’s own Firefly can’t match this consistency yet, making the addition a timely upgrade as the company competes in AI-driven image editing. Launch is expected this September.

Anthropic’s AI chatbot, Claude, can now "remember" past conversations without any prompting, meaning it will start applying details, like preferences, from past conversations into its responses, automatically. Claude’s “Memory” is optional (and only for Team and Enterprise users), and comes a month after Anthropic rolled out a feature that saw Claude able to remember past conversations, but only when it was asked to.
