๐Ÿš€ Framer secures $100M at $2B valuation

Website builders feel like a dead genre - Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Tilda, and the looming shift toward agents and APIs instead of โ€œsites.โ€ Yet investors clearly see something else.

๐Ÿ”ธ Clients include Miro, Perplexity, Scale AI, and 40% of the latest YC batch
๐Ÿ”ธ Founded by ex-Facebook designers, pitched as the โ€œFigma for websitesโ€
๐Ÿ”ธ Design-focused, clean interface, AI built-in but not revolutionary

The question remains: is this the future or just a temporary bubble? Investors are betting on growth and for now, businesses are still willing to pay for polished digital storefronts.

๐Ÿง  MITโ€™s AlterEgo lets you โ€œspeakโ€ without making a sound

MIT spinout AlterEgo has unveiled a device that captures neural signals sent to the speech apparatus and turns them into text or commands โ€” no audible words required.

๐Ÿ”ธ Enables typing at โ€œthought speed,โ€ hands-free app control, and even silent conversations
๐Ÿ”ธ Still no launch date or pricing announced

If it works at scale, AlterEgo could blur the line between thinking and communicating.

๐Ÿ“ผ China unveils DNA cassette tape with 36PB storage

Researchers in China have created a โ€œDNA cassette tapeโ€ that can store 36 petabytes of data - enough to hold every song ever recorded. The innovation embeds synthetic DNA into plastic and protects it with a crystal-like armor for durability.

๐Ÿ”ธ Developed by Xingyu Jiangโ€™s team at Southern University of Science and Technology
๐Ÿ”ธ Uses DNA bases (A, T, C, G) to encode data, similar to binary code
๐Ÿ”ธ Crystal armor coating prevents degradation, enabling storage for thousands of years
๐Ÿ”ธ Cassette design allows fast data access, mimicking rewind/fast-forward mechanics
๐Ÿ”ธ Potential use cases: music archiving, video preservation, cultural heritage, genomic data

Though costs and read speeds remain challenges, the DNA cassette blends retro aesthetics with cutting-edge biotech, hinting at a future of ultra-dense, sustainable data storage.

๐Ÿง  Thinking Machines Lab takes aim at randomness in AI answers

Mira Muratiโ€™s new startup, Thinking Machines Lab, has raised $2B and built a team of ex-OpenAI researchers. For the first time, it revealed its mission: making large language model outputs stable and predictable, not random.

๐Ÿ”ธ Problem: todayโ€™s LLMs often give different answers to the same question
๐Ÿ”ธ Hypothesis: unpredictability stems from how Nvidia GPU cores interact during inference
๐Ÿ”ธ Approach: controlling that GPU-level process to reduce variability in outputs
๐Ÿ”ธ First product: expected in the coming months, aimed at researchers and startups
๐Ÿ”ธ Strategic goal: establish reliability as a core differentiator in model development

If successful, Thinking Machines could shift the baseline for AI โ€” from โ€œcreative randomnessโ€ to trustworthy consistency.
