Brandon Anderson interviews Leash Bio’s Ian Quigley about generating reproducible protein–small molecule interaction data using DNA Encoded Libraries and detecting misleading signals in experiments and models. They discuss a Kaggle competition with about 4B measurements where nobody beat chance on an unseen chemical library, and an agent sandbox searching 6.5M molecules on a budget of 100. Anderson reports that the sandbox has matured into Minos, with a preprint, blog, and open dataset being released today.

Google announced that users can wirelessly install Android apps created in Google AI Studio on their own devices through Google Play using a regular Google account, without developer registration. The feature begins rolling out today to users 18 and older in selected markets, including the US; apps remain private, with sharing for close friends and family planned over the coming months. Baoyu also reports updates to Ask Play app comparisons, Play in Gemini, and game discovery through Game Finder and Gamer DNA.

Google announced that users can build personal Android apps with Google AI Studio and run them privately through Google Play using a standard Google account. The apps remain accessible only to their creators, must comply with existing Play policies, and will initially be available to U.S. users age 18 and up. Google says sharing with trusted friends will follow in the months ahead, with a path to public publication after trust and safety reviews.

AI labs are buying defunct startups’ code and workplace archives through companies such as SimpleClosure and Sunset to train models and build environments where AI agents practice tasks.

The market raises questions about employee privacy, consent, and pricing, and no company has released tests comparing training results from real-world archives with alternatives.
