Somewhere between caffeine and code, we turned today’s AI madness into something digestible. Let’s get this week started off hot! 😄 

(The mystery link can lead to ANYTHING AI-related: tools, memes, articles, videos, and more…)

Modernize your marketing with AdQuick

AdQuick unlocks the benefits of Out Of Home (OOH) advertising in a way no one else has. Approaching the problem with eyes to performance, created for marketers with the engineering excellence you’ve come to expect for the internet.

Marketers agree OOH is one of the best ways for building brand awareness, reaching new customers, and reinforcing your brand message. It’s just been difficult to scale. But with AdQuick, you can easily plan, deploy and measure campaigns just as easily as digital ads, making them a no-brainer to add to your team’s toolbox.

CLAUDE CONNECTS WITH MICROSOFT 365 🤖

What’s new? Anthropic has integrated Claude with Microsoft 365, allowing the AI assistant to search, analyze, and summarize information across tools like Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

How does it work? Once connected, Claude can pull context from your documents, emails, and calendars to provide more accurate, informed responses. For instance, when you ask about a project, Claude can surface updates from Teams chats, summarize relevant emails, and reference your stored documents—all without needing you to manually upload files. A new enterprise search feature also lets organizations create a shared workspace where Claude can search across company data sources, giving everyone access to collective knowledge in one place.

Why is this significant? This integration means less time digging through files and messages and more time making decisions. It’s especially helpful for onboarding, research, and collaboration—bringing AI-powered clarity to the daily flood of workplace information.

CAN AI HELP IDENTIFY VARIANTS IN CANCER? 🔬

What’s up? Google Research has launched DeepSomatic, an open-source AI model designed to accelerate genetic analysis in cancer research.

How does it work? DeepSomatic uses convolutional neural networks to distinguish between inherited genetic variants and somatic mutations—the DNA changes that occur in cancer cells. By training on large, high-quality datasets from partners like UC Santa Cruz and Children’s Mercy, the model can identify these mutations with exceptional accuracy, even in complex cancers such as pediatric leukemia and glioblastoma. It outperforms current tools, especially at detecting insertions and deletions, which are often the hardest to spot. Both the model and its dataset are freely available to researchers worldwide.

Why is this significant? DeepSomatic’s speed and accuracy could help scientists pinpoint cancer-causing mutations faster, leading to more personalized therapies and better outcomes for patients everywhere.

AMAZON PARTNERS WITH TOP RESEARCH UNIVERSITY FOR AI DEVELOPMENT 📚

What’s new? Amazon and Carnegie Mellon University have teamed up to create the CMU-Amazon AI Innovation Hub.

Want the details? The new hub will focus on advancing AI and robotics, with an emphasis on responsible AI development and scalable cloud infrastructure. Amazon is providing funding for research projects, fellowships, and educational events like workshops and symposiums. The collaboration aims to merge expertise in AI, robotics, and natural language processing to drive research that can quickly translate into real-world applications. By combining Amazon’s technology power with Carnegie Mellon’s research strength, the hub could help improve things like home robots, workplace automation, and online services—all while keeping ethics and responsibility in focus.

Fun FryAI fact: A “convolutional neural network” is like a fry inspector who scans small sections of a tray of French fries to find the crispiest ones. It looks for tiny details—color, texture, and shape—and combines those observations to understand how crispy the whole tray is. In AI, it works the same way, analyzing bits of data piece by piece to recognize important patterns.
