MTS每日AI综述：Anthropic发布Haiku 5.5、Biohub 18亿美元生物数据集、Genesis Mission 10亿美元承诺、Google与Unity合作等多条软新闻

Welcome back, monitors. Kevin Roose’s new book, “The AGI Chronicles,” covers the recent history of OpenAI, Anthropic, the race to AGI, and all the serious and bizarre moments along the way. The book covers new details on Sam Altman’s firing from OpenAI, the internal disagreements that led Dario Amodei and several colleagues to leave OpenAI and found Anthropic, and an AGI-themed effigy-burning ritual attended by Ilya Sutskever and Sam Altman. The book showcases how much the recent history of AI has been shaped by the personalities at frontier labs, not just by the technology itself.
