🚀Gemini’s “Deep Think” wins Math Olympiad gold

PLUS: Anthropic says AI needs 50 GW of U.S. power, OpenAI hires Fidji Simo — and More!

Happy Tuesday!

Today’s stories run from mind‑bending math feats to nuts‑and‑bolts infrastructure. Google DeepMind’s newest Gemini smashed the International Mathematical Olympiad, Anthropic lays out an energy blueprint big enough to light New York City twice over, and OpenAI’s incoming Applications chief sketches a people‑first AI agenda. We also cover a click‑and‑create protein lab, a Spotify scandal over AI songs by dead artists, and the first gall‑bladder surgery performed solo by a robot. Let’s dive in.

1. Gemini Deep Think earns IMO gold‑medal score

A special “Deep Think” version of Gemini solved 5 of 6 International Mathematical Olympiad problems in the allotted 4.5 hours, tallying 35 / 42 points—the first AI system certified at a gold‑medal level. Unlike last year’s AlphaGeometry effort, the model worked end‑to‑end in plain English and used parallel reasoning to explore multiple proof paths at once. A limited test release is coming to Gemini Ultra subscribers later this year.

2. Anthropic report: the U.S. must add 50 GW of power for AI by 2028

In a policy paper titled Build AI in America, Anthropic warns that frontier‑model training will need data‑center “power plants” of 2–5 GW each within three years and projects total U.S. demand of 50 GW for training and inference—double New York City’s peak load. Recommendations include fast‑tracking nuclear and geothermal permits, opening federal land for data centers, and creating strategic reserves of grid hardware.

3. OpenAI’s new Applications CEO vows to make AI “everybody’s power tool”

Former Instacart chief Fidji Simo is joining OpenAI to head its consumer and business products. In her essay, she frames AI as an equalizer across six pillars—knowledge, health, creativity, economic freedom, time, and support—and pledges to keep tools affordable and easy to use so benefits don’t “concentrate in the hands of the already‑powerful.”

4. Latent Labs opens a drag‑and‑drop protein‑design studio

Six months after a $50 M seed round, Latent Labs launched LatentX, a web app that lets researchers type or sketch desired properties and receive novel proteins—including antibodies and nanobodies—with atomic‑level structures. CEO Simon Kohl, formerly of AlphaFold, says benchmarked designs hit state‑of‑the‑art scores and will eventually be monetized through premium features and model licensing.

5. Spotify caught posting AI tracks under dead artists’ names

Country legend Blaze Foley, murdered in 1989, suddenly “released” a new single on his official Spotify page—generated by AI and uploaded via TikTok’s SoundOn without any approval from Foley’s estate. Similar ghost releases turned up for Guy Clark. Spotify removed the songs after they were flagged, but critics say the incident exposes weak safeguards against deep‑fake music fraud.

6. Autonomous robot nails gall‑bladder surgery on pig organs

Johns Hopkins’ SRT‑H robot, trained with language‑guided imitation learning, independently handled the trickiest phase of gall‑bladder removal in eight pig‑organ trials, achieving 100 % accuracy—though more slowly than human surgeons. Researchers say such robots could one day ease surgeon shortages and enable 24/7 operating rooms, but human trials are still years away.
