Summary
A quick catch-up on the biggest AI stories for June 25, 2026: Google DeepMind moves deeper into Hollywood with a $75 million A24 partnership, researchers propose a way to detect and undo poisoned summarization models, and a new medical benchmark shows how cancer-imaging AI can break across patient groups and scan settings. Covered in this episode: - Google DeepMind invests $75 million in A24 as AI companies push further into Hollywood - New research on detecting, unlearning, and restoring text summarization models after training-time data poisoning - BenchX tests cancer-detection AI for demographic and imaging-protocol bias across real clinical variation - OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a custom chip for LLM inference - Bloomberg reports two senior Google AI researchers are set to leave for Anthropic - Simon Willison builds a browser-compatibility database tool inspired by Mozilla’s new MDN MCP service Source links: - WIRED: https://www.wired.com/story/a24-knows-youre-mad-about-the-google-ai-collab/ - arXiv (Detect, Unlearn, Restore): https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.26036v1 - BenchX paper: https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2606.24883 - OpenAI on Jalapeño: https://openai.com/index/openai-broadcom-jalapeno-inference-chip - Bloomberg on Google/Anthropic talent moves: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-24/google-poised-to-lose-two-more-high-profile-ai-staffers-to-anthropic - Simon Willison post: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/24/browser-compat-db/#atom-everything
