Google turns Gemini towards medical paperwork

Engadget

Gemini for healthcare is in preview now, with some big-name partners already on board. Google Cloud has officially announced Gemini for healthcare, bringing agentic AI to the sector. In a press release, Google said that the new initiative aims to unify the disparate clinical, operational, and administrative systems central to healthcare delivery and health plan operations. So rather than scraping the web to diagnose or advise treatments to medical professionals at the point of care, it sounds like Gemini will be used primarily to improve workflow efficiency. The healthcare-focused assistant is built on top of the universal Gemini agent, and connects to third-party systems to gather information from health records, billing platforms and official guidelines.


Anthropic targets 1.4 trillion valuation in massive stock market debut

Al Jazeera

Anthropic is seeking a valuation of $1.4 trillion for its upcoming IPO, with the company looking to raise as much as $64.4bn in what would be one of the largest stock market debuts in history. The company, which makes the Claude AI chatbot, launched its investor roadshow on Tuesday, with reported plans to go public next week. It has also secured $26bn in a separate private placement backed by some of the world's largest tech companies, including Google, Nvidia, Microsoft and AMD. The listing is being closely watched as a major test for how much investors are still willing to bet on AI companies, which have driven huge gains in tech stocks and the broader US market. The $1.4 trillion valuation is lower than earlier estimates, which had suggested Anthropic could be valued between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion, as concerns grow about the company's enormous infrastructure spending and recent swings in AI stock prices.
