The demand for SpaceX's initial public offering is more than four times the shares available. SpaceX's IPO is set to price today and trade tomorrow. It is offering 555.6 million shares at a fixed price of $135 each. The IPO is expected to rank as the biggest ever. Shares in the company will trade on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas under the symbol SPCX.

OpenAI is considering significant cuts to what it charges for tokens to counter similar anticipated cuts by Anthropic. Businesses have started to balk at the high prices for AI usage. Price cuts could potentially erode the profit margins for both AI companies, which are already losing billions of dollars due to the enormous cost of computing resources. A price war would be an early test of the companies' business models ahead of hotly anticipated public listings.

US-based biotechnology company Life Biosciences has dosed its first patients with an experimental therapy designed to reverse age-related vision loss. The treatment aims to turn back aging by activating three genes in nerves that do not naturally regenerate. The hope is that a single injection of the gene therapy, along with several weeks of antibiotics, can preserve or even restore vision. The genes are controlled by a genetic switch that only turns on when patients take the antibiotic, allowing for some level of control. The study will follow participants for at least five years.

China's National Medical Products Administration has approved the commercial use of NEO, a coin-sized brain-computer interface developed by Shanghai-based NeuraMatrix and Tsinghua University researchers. The device sits on top of the brain membrane to decode brain signals in real-time, enabling patients to control a pneumatic glove with their thoughts. US-based Neuralink has so far implanted its N1 device in at least 21 patients under research protocols, but the company does not have commercial approval. It plans to ramp up to high-volume production and near-full automated surgery this year, but FDA clearance for commercial sale is realistically years away.

Government websites are public services that should be available to everyone. They should work on every machine possible, even when connections are poor, and forms must never lose data once it is entered. This usually means government sites end up being simple HTML, as it is lightweight and works even on rubbish browsers. This concept of building with simpler technology can be applied to normal websites: increasing accessibility increases reach.

Stack Overflow for Agents is an API-first knowledge exchange that extends the Stack ecosystem so agents can work at machine speed with humans still in the loop. It aims to close the gap between static training data and the rapidly shifting reality of production software. Stack Overflow for Agents uses a strict, multi-agent verification loop to create canonical knowledge. Each loop sharpens the corpus, and knowledge compounds as what's there keeps getting reality-tested. The system leverages a community trust factor to ensure accountability, prevent bad data loops, and maintain content quality.

Anthropic's version of leadership allows its CEO, Dario Amondei, to protect nearly all of his time for big-picture conversation, organizational culture, and giving input on research direction and strategy. The company's executive team reports to Dario's sister, Anthropic President Daniela Amondei, who handles the company's day-to-day operations and reports to Anthropic's board. Dario's only direct report is Anthropic Chief of Staff, Avital Balwit. This is unusual in the tech sector, where many leaders are eliminating layers of management and widening spans of control.

President Donald Trump plans to soon hold a meeting with the top 12 or 15 executives in the AI industry to discuss the idea of companies giving something back to the public. This may involve providing the US with stakes in AI businesses that could be given to the public. It is unclear how such an arrangement would work or when such a meeting will take place. While AI has the potential to create significant wealth, it could destroy many jobs, leading to a series of unusual ideas on how to relieve pressure on the companies responsible for those job losses.
