WSJ: “To observe the hit from AI fears, it can be helpful to split the sector into four main categories: “Vertical” software that serves specific industries, “Horizontal” software that serves a range of businesses, Cybersecurity and identity-verification software, and Software-engineering software.”
CollabFund: “We are in the early innings of a fundamental shift in how we understand the human body. The current medical model is reactive and episodic — you feel sick, you see a doctor, you get a snapshot. But your body is a complex machine running 24/7, and it deserves a software layer that can actually keep up. That’s the idea behind what founder Will Ahmed from WHOOP calls the Health OS: continuous monitoring, proactive intelligence, and personalized coaching — all built on one of the most comprehensive longitudinal health datasets in existence. WHOOP has collected over 24 billion hours of continuous physiological data from more than 2.5 million members. That data, combined with a new medical-grade device and a generative AI coaching layer, positions WHOOP to bridge the gap between consumer wellness and clinical healthcare in a way no one else can.”
Bloomberg (via Mint): “With everyone’s attention fixed on powerful chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude, it’s been easy to overlook the growth of another field of artificial intelligence: world models. These systems can grasp three-dimensional space and physics, providing the foundation for everything from robots to smart glasses to self-driving cars—and a capability that today’s chatbots lack.”
NYTimes: “[China’s] Geely has built a business model designed to handle volatility. It is one of the few automakers that can compete across all four major powertrains: gasoline, gasoline-electric hybrids, plug-in hybrids and fully electric. That breadth allows it to shift quickly as conditions change.”
