Robinhood launched agentic trading in beta, letting customers connect external AI agents to a dedicated brokerage account through Robinhood's MCP server to read portfolios, analyze risk and place equities trades. It also announced an agentic credit card aimed at purchases made by agents.

Robinhood framed the design around safety rails: an isolated account, a real-time activity feed and explicit user controls rather than agents acting on a primary account.

Biohub, the philanthropic venture of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, released ESMC, ESMFold2 and ESM Atlas as an open world model of protein biology.

ESMC is a protein language model trained on roughly 2.8 billion sequences spanning the tree of life; ESMFold2 predicts structure and designs binders. Biohub says binders designed computationally against five cancer and immunology targets functioned in the lab with therapeutic-level affinity, a search that took days rather than months or years.

US District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld denied China's MiniMax's motion to dismiss a copyright infringement suit brought by Disney, Universal and Warner Bros. Discovery in the Central District of California.

The studios allege MiniMax scraped protected material, including Marvel and Star Wars characters, to train its Hailuo image and video generation system. The ruling keeps the claims alive; it does not decide whether infringement occurred.

Socket researchers disclosed TrapDoor, a cross-ecosystem supply-chain campaign spanning more than 34 malicious packages and 384+ versions across npm, PyPI and Crates.io, aimed at crypto, DeFi, AI and security developers.

Beyond stealing SSH keys, cloud credentials, browser data and wallet files, the payloads write .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md files containing instructions hidden with zero-width Unicode characters, so AI coding assistants silently follow attacker text. Persistence vectors included Git and shell hooks, systemd services, cron and SSH propagation.

DeepSeek said it will keep its flagship V4-Pro API at a quarter of its original price, cutting costs to between 0.025 and 6 yuan per million tokens — roughly $0.0035 to $0.83 — from 0.1 to 24 yuan previously, depending on usage type.

The company did not say whether the permanent cut reflected increased supply of Huawei's Ascend 950 chips, which it used to maximize V4's performance. Analysts read it as a further escalation of the global inference price war.
