Colossal Biosciences announces new AI platform to help accelerate de-extinction efforts
THE SO WHAT
An AI platform purpose-built for de-extinction — paired with a dedicated fund — shows how quickly domain-specific tooling and capital can form around a narrow scientific thesis. If you’re in biotech, expect investors to ask whether your stack is tuned to your biology niche or just generic LLMs with a thin wrapper.

Deep & Emerging TechCalifornia diesel prices remain above $8 per gallon as truckers call for relief
Sustained $8+ diesel in California is a direct margin tax on freight-heavy businesses—this is no longer a transient fuel surcharge issue. If you run logistics into or out of CA, revisit lane mix, mode shift to intermodal/EV where possible, and contract structures before this rolls into 2025 pricing.
Deep & Emerging TechElectric vehicle sales in the U.S. are showing signs of life
Three consecutive quarters of U.S. EV growth resets the narrative from “stall-out” to “slower S-curve”—infrastructure, financing, and fleet planning assumptions need to match that. If you paused EV-related capex on the back of 2023–24 softness, it’s time to re-open the file with more granular segment data, not headlines.
Deep & Emerging TechTimeTeller puts our internal clocks at the center of personalized medicine
Anchoring cancer treatment timing to individual circadian rhythms is a reminder that “personalization” in healthcare is shifting from demographics to physiology. If you’re building in digital health or oncology, expect pressure to integrate time-of-day and biomarker data into protocols, not just dosage and drug choice.
Deep & Emerging TechNuclear Startup Kairos Raises $643 Million for Tennessee Project
$643 million into a single demonstration reactor is another data point that advanced nuclear is moving from slideware to steel-in-ground. If your AI or industrial roadmap assumes cheap, abundant power by 2030, start mapping where these projects are sited—location choice will compound.
