Google DeepMind introduced SynthID Bio, a family of watermarking methods for synthetic biology, with wet-lab testing across three target proteins showing watermarked designs matched unwatermarked versions in hit rate, binding affinity, and sequence diversity. Separately, Toby Ord analyzed swarm scaling, finding parallel agent swarms trade roughly double the tokens for faster completion, with diminishing returns that he says may increase the chance of an RSI-driven intelligence explosion.
