Started a new role within AWS today! Joined the Amazon Bedrock team where I’ll be leading efforts on foundation models (FMs) and Generative AI application evaluations—spanning models, RAG, and agents—for various use cases.

Didn’t appreciate how forward thinking and so on top of science David was until I graduated. Well deserved and congrats to all! Also big shoutout to the curators of the pdb and casp who without their work none of this would have been possible! Institute for Protein Design Google DeepMind

Congrats to Drs. Baker, Hassabis & Jumper for their well-deserved Nobel Prize in Chemistry! At 1910 Genetics, our work in large molecule AI drug discovery began with AI-driven protein structure prediction, and has expanded to design & optimization of large molecule therapeutics.

1/n Introducing our new preprint: Strong Model Collapse arxiv.org/abs/2410.04840, wherein we show that within the "scaling laws" paradigm, even 1% bad / synthetic data in the training corpus might lead to model collapse, an eventual critical flattening or even degradation of model

Today, 1910 Genetics launched CANDID-CNS™, an AI model for predicting blood-brain barrier penetration & distribution with 83% success vs. 64% for the industry standard CNS-MPO score. We’re also publishing the results as a preprint on bioRxiv. Learn more: bit.ly/4h7GUUs
