🛎️ Chickens Beat Llamas

More Stories: AI Lies Under Oath, AI Crafts New Weapons

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

It’s 2025 — barnyard coups, courtroom soap operas, and Skynet’s Etsy phase are just part of the news cycle now.

LLM

Multiverse Shrinks AI to Fly- and Chicken-Brain Size

📌 What’s happening: Spanish quantum-inspired AI startup Multiverse Computing just dropped two of the smallest high-performing models on record — “SuperFly” (94M params, based on Hugging Face’s SmolLM2-135) and “ChickBrain” (3.2B params, compressed from Meta’s Llama 3.1 8B). Both run fully offline, fit on IoT devices or laptops, and — in ChickBrain’s case — even beat the original model on MMLU-Pro, GSM8K, and GPQA Diamond.

🧠 How this hits reality: If these benchmarks hold, OEMs like Apple, Samsung, and HP (already an investor) can ship reasoning-capable AI in appliances and devices without the cloud bill. This undercuts the “always-connected” moat Big AI vendors use to lock in enterprise and consumer traffic — and pushes inference costs toward zero. Cloud-dependent rivals just felt the floor shift.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Quantum physics just made your washing machine smarter than most AI assistants — and it doesn’t need Wi-Fi to sass you back.

HALLUCINATION

AI Fails the Murder Trial Test

📌 What’s happening: In Melbourne’s Supreme Court of Victoria, a King’s Counsel apologized after filing murder case submissions laced with AI-fabricated quotes and fake case law. The “AI assist” not only invented sources but delayed the verdict by 24 hours — in a trial determining whether a teenager was guilty of murder.

🧠 How this hits reality: For industries where a single comma can alter lives — law, medicine, aerospace — AI’s current “hallucination” rate is a dealbreaker. No compliance team or client can afford a model that invents precedent or diagnosis. The hype cycle meets the precision wall: until AI can guarantee source verifiability, its role in high-stakes decision-making will remain strictly decorative.

🛎️ Key takeaway: If your AI can’t survive cross-examination, it doesn’t belong in court — or anywhere precision is non-negotiable.

INNOVATION

AI Crafts New Weapons Against Gonorrhoea and MRSA

📌 What’s happening: MIT researchers used generative AI to design two entirely new antibiotic candidates from scratch — targeting drug-resistant gonorrhoea and MRSA. After screening 36 million possible compounds, the AI picked molecules that killed superbugs in lab and animal tests. The leap? AI isn’t just scanning chemical libraries anymore — it’s inventing them.

🧠 How this hits reality: If scalable, this rewires the economics of drug discovery: faster design cycles, smaller upfront bets, and potentially hundreds of new antibiotic leads each year. Pharma R&D roadmaps, biotech IP strategies, and even synthetic chemistry workflows could be rebuilt around AI-first pipelines. Contract research orgs, wet labs, and AI-native drug startups now have a shared, lucrative target — the multi-billion-dollar antimicrobial resistance market, currently starved of innovation.

🛎️ Key takeaway: AI just turned antibiotic R&D from a decades-long gamble into a software sprint — and the market smells blood.
