New York opens RAISE Act registration for large frontier AI developers

New York State opened a portal on November 10 for large frontier AI developers to register under its AI safety law, the RAISE Act.

The portal comes from the Office of Digital Innovation, Governance, Integrity, and Trust (DIGIT), created to implement the RAISE Act. Large frontier developers must register by January 1, 2027, and from January they must publish safety frameworks on their websites.

All frontier developers must report critical safety incidents and publish model transparency reports. The state sets the reporting deadline for incidents at 72 hours. According to TechCrunch, large developers are those with more than $500 million in annual revenue, and penalties can reach $1 million for a first violation and $3 million for later ones.

The same day, the state launched the New York Center for AI Responsibility and Research at SUNY Binghamton. More than 80 researchers across the state will use Empire AI, the state's AI computing initiative, to test advanced AI systems independently. The center will work with DIGIT to begin reviewing the safety frameworks companies publish and recommending ways to strengthen them.

TSMC approves investments of up to $500 million each in Anthropic and OpenAI

TSMC's board of directors approved investments in Anthropic and OpenAI on November 10.

For Anthropic, TSMC will buy up to $500 million of common shares at the IPO price. Anthropic's amended registration statement (S-1/A), which we covered on November 11, listed TSMC among the seven companies in a private placement at the IPO price. For OpenAI, TSMC will buy up to $500 million of preferred stock in OpenAI Group PBC.

The same board meeting approved capital appropriations of about $40.9 billion and the creation of an investment company, with up to $500 million, for strategic investments in the semiconductor industry and its ecosystem. Ars Technica describes the deal as an example of circular financing between a supplier and its customers, since both companies buy large amounts of hardware made by TSMC.

Google DeepMind announces AlphaGenome 2

Google DeepMind announced AlphaGenome 2 on November 11, a model that predicts how variations in DNA sequence affect specific cell types and cell states.

The original AlphaGenome predicted variant effects as averages across broad tissues. AlphaGenome 2 takes one condition at a time, such as a heart muscle cell or an immune cell, and predicts how the same stretch of DNA is read in that cell. It was trained on more than 107 million individual cell profiles from human and mouse samples.

On TenK10K, a dataset covering 28 immune cell types, Google DeepMind says AlphaGenome 2 identified 30% of causal variants, nearly twice the 16% found by the original model fine-tuned on single-cell data. It says the model can also predict new cell states from a snapshot of gene activity in a few dozen cells, without retraining. AlphaGenome 2 is available for non-commercial research through the AlphaGenome API, and in private preview for commercial research.
