Anthropic published results from a Claude Science protein binder campaign: fourteen of fifteen targets hit, three hundred fifty-four confirmed binders, and a hit rate roughly double the field average. On one target, Mythos preview reached forty percent — versus three point seven percent for human entrants in a public competition. Also: SpaceX Q3 AI revenue hit $7.56B, up 830% year over year, now the company's largest business, and China is reportedly signaling approval for ByteDance to buy up to a million Nvidia RTX Pro 5500 workstation GPUs in a move that tests the limits of U.S. export controls.
