Fusion’s best-funded bet raised another $1bn, and hired the banker who took Moderna public
The AI boom needs colossal amounts of electricity. That has turned fusion, forever mocked as “30 years away,” into one of the hottest bets in tech.

Everyone’s building a ‘GPT for cells.’ Relation’s bet is manufacturing the data to train it.
The race to build an AI “foundation model of the cell” has a fuel problem. The biological data needed to train one is scarce, messy and inconsistent. Relation Therapeutics thinks the answer is to manufacture that data itself, and GSK is paying up to $110m to help. The London startup unveiled two things at once […]

IBM just bought a quantum bet it doesn’t build. Days later, the payoff hit Nature.
Six days ago, IBM agreed to buy a quantum-computing lab that builds a kind of qubit IBM does not. This week, the lab showed the world why. HRL Laboratories published a result in Nature on Wednesday: a silicon quantum processor that, in effect, runs itself. The Malibu research house is jointly owned by Boeing and […]
