TypeSafe closed an $870 million funding round for its Jev AI model at a $7.5 billion valuation. The company said Jev can process user requests in under 700 milliseconds. TypeSafe plans to use the funding to add to its System One model series and roll out unspecified enterprise features to make the models easier for large organizations to use.
Biohub and partners expanded its Virtual Biology Initiative to create a “virtual cell” for predicting how living cells respond to interventions. The effort commits $1.8 billion, starting with a first dataset expected in about a year and predictive models within five years. Funding, data-generation, imaging and computing support are pooled under shared standards and a single access point, with commercial partners getting 1 year of exclusive data access before public release.
Ai2 presented its COLM 2026 work on open AI research artifacts, including Olmo Hybrid and new tooling for science-focused agents. Olmo Hybrid matched Olmo 3 7B’s MMLU accuracy while using 49% fewer training tokens. This leads to a next Olmo pre-training effort with a hybrid mixture-of-experts design, plus new releases like Olmo-core 3 and AstaBrief for cited-report generation.
Ai2 replaced a priority-based GPU cluster scheduler with a budgeted, hierarchical fair-share system plus time-slicing contracts to improve how it picks high-impact training jobs. The changes reduced repair work that required human involvement by 74%. As a result, GPU time is allocated via budgets (so gaming and squatting cost budget), and workloads can be preempted and requeued after minimum runtime to keep occupancy high and repairs automated.
