The AI Daily: Figma just launched a powerful new set of AI tools at its Config 2025 event, including “Figma Make,” which turns designs into working code using simple text prompts. This major update puts Figma in direct competition with platforms like Adobe and WordPress.
Key notes:
Figma Make lets users turn designs into interactive projects using plain language.
Figma Sites allows users to publish websites with one click directly from Figma.
The new Grid layout system gives better control for responsive design.
Figma Draw adds smarter vector tools, like multi-select and flexible stroke editing.
Figma Buzz is a new space for building marketing and brand content.
Why it matters: These updates break down the wall between design and building real products. Designers can now go from idea to live website without switching tools. By using AI and natural language, Figma is making the design process faster and more powerful—while keeping the creative quality that makes great work stand out.

The AI Daily: Mistral AI just launched Mistral Medium 3, a new multimodal AI model that offers high-level performance at a much lower cost than its competitors. It’s built to give businesses strong AI tools without the high price tag.
Key notes:
Delivers 90% of Claude Sonnet 3.7’s performance at just 1/8 of the cost.
Costs $0.40 per million input tokens and $2 per million output tokens.
Beats Llama 4 Maverick and Cohere Command A on key benchmarks.
Runs on only four GPUs, so it’s easier to use in more places.
Available now on Mistral’s platform and Amazon SageMaker, with more platforms coming soon.
Why it matters: Most AI models today are either powerful but expensive, or cheap but limited. Mistral Medium 3 finds a middle ground—giving companies advanced features like code generation and business support without high costs. It’s a practical option for teams that need great AI performance on a budget.

The AI Daily: FutureHouse, backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, has launched Finch, a powerful new AI agent that automates complex biological data analysis. Now in closed beta, Finch acts like “a good first-year grad student,” quickly exploring large datasets and finding meaningful patterns in just minutes.
Key notes:
Finch can recreate results from real studies, like the Golub Lab’s 2020 MetMap paper.
It found that ADAM28 deletions are linked to breast cancer spreading to the brain.
Also discovered new links not in the paper, including EFNA5 and PTCH1 amplifications.
Handles both open-ended research and specific tasks like differential expression and pathway analysis.
Runs code, makes charts, studies the results, and keeps improving its answers.
Why it matters: Finch could dramatically speed up science, turning months of data work into minutes. Even though it still makes some mistakes, its ability to handle advanced biology tasks shows big promise—especially in areas like cancer research and drug discovery, where time matters most.
