In this episode: - H1 secures $40 million from CVS Health Ventures, with CEO Ariel Katz arguing that unique doctor data is harder for AI to replicate than workflow SaaS. - The Financial Times reports Anthropic finalized a $65 billion funding deal valuing the company at $965 billion including the new money. - Earlier-this-week research: MUSE-Autoskill proposes a way for LLM agents to create, store, manage, and evaluate reusable skills instead of treating each task as a one-off. - Headlines: Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 adds Dynamic Workflows; OpenAI publishes a Frontier Governance Framework; Simon Willison ships llm-anthropic 0.25.1 with Claude Opus 4.8 support; and The New York Times’ The Daily examines whether AI companions like ElliQ can help reduce loneliness.
