🏥 AI predicts health risks years ahead 🏥
A new open-source AI model published on Nature can forecasts diseases like weather prediction using massive health datasets.

Researchers have developed Delphi-2M, a revolutionary GPT-based health prediction model trained on 400,000 UK Biobank records and validated on 1.9 million Danish registry individuals. This breakthrough system can forecast disease risks across more than 1,200 conditions, creating detailed health timelines that predict years into the future. The AI assesses probabilities for developing major conditions including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory disorders, representing a paradigm shift toward preventive healthcare through predictive analytics. This advancement could transform medical practice by enabling early interventions and personalized health management strategies.

🤖 OpenAI tests ChatGPT alpha models with agent capabilities 🤖
Experimental models briefly appeared in ChatGPT selector before being pulled back.

Some ChatGPT users spotted a mysterious "alpha models" section that activated agent mode with variants labeled "Agent with truncation" and "Agent with prompt expansion." The models appeared to test different system prompt setups and underlying architectures for tool-augmented AI workflows. OpenAI quickly rolled back the accidental release, making detailed comparisons challenging, but the brief glimpse suggests the company is actively developing more sophisticated agentic capabilities for power users.
