Dave Ricks has been at @EliLillyandCo for 20% of its 150-year history. He came to the pub, poured his own Guinness, and gave us a 2-hour state of the pharma union: drug prices, clinical trials, patent clocks, the rise of generics, Chinese peptides, compounding pharmacies, the US healthcare system, and how the broad success of GLP-1s have transformed Lilly's business. If you've never heard Dave speak before, you're in for a treat.

gpt-oss is out! we made an open model that performs at the level of o4-mini and runs on a high-end laptop (WTF!!) (and a smaller one that runs on a phone). super proud of the team; big triumph of technology.
