The White House is planning to order U.S. agencies to partner with AI firms to protect networks from AI-enabled cyber attacks, though the order would stop short of mandating government approval for cutting-edge models, Bloomberg's Maggie Eastland and Courtney Subramanian report, citing people familiar with the mater. A draft directive from President Trump would overhaul existing cybersecurity information-sharing programs to include AI companies and address threats posed by the emerging tech, the authors note. Companies in AI software include Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), OpenAI, and Anthropic.

Isomorphic Labs, an AI-powered drug discovery company spun out of Alphabet's GoogleDeepMind, is in advanced talks to raise more than $2B in a new round of funding, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg's Rebecca Torrence and Mark Bergen. Thrive Capital, which led Isomorphic's first funding round last year, is set to lead the new financing and Alphabet is also participating, according to the report.
