In DC this week for my work on an AI and biosecurity consensus study with NAS. The data gathering sessions are open to the public and you can watch them here: nationalacademies.org/event/43251_08…

In my ideal future we control all weather with GMOs

(still engineering cells too)

I'm seeing a lot of skeptical biologists sharing this, but I think it can both be true that (1) we need a lot more data to make models better and (2) as those models get better, AI-savvy biologists will discover things faster

Happy September everyone

Y’all are tweeting about founder mode but I’m the one flying to SF to figure out what’s going on. I’m locked in

It’s time we got back to basics in syn bio: booting up new consciousness within overwrought prisons of meat and metal

🚨My department here in London 🇬🇧 has an open faculty position in at any level, looking for a PI in food-related bioengineering and synthetic biology. This is a really exciting opportunity that closes on Sept 22. DM me if you want to apply! Please RT 🔁 imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo…

this is a highly capable model.

Join us MIT Dept of BE! We are searching for a tenure-track faculty colleague at the interface of #immunology and #biologicalengineering. Happy to answer questions about the BE department and junior faculty life at MIT (both great). Please share widely! be.mit.edu/about/open-fac…

Today, we’re thrilled to announce two exciting launches, powered by our partnership with Google Cloud: our first protein LLM, AA-0, and our new model API, a powerful tool designed to bring biological AI models directly to machine learning scientists. hubs.la/Q02Q58BM0

Big day today at Ginkgo Bioworks: we're pulling back the curtain on our proprietary biological foundation models and launching a model API! Our API will support private and open models, and we're pricing it competitively to enable others to build on top of it. Details in 🧵👇

Really looking forward to getting more AI training data out there! Will be exciting to see how the community helps shape our LDaaS offerings - the one thing I know for sure is that better models will come from (a lot more) data

Very exciting to see our early adopters roll in! One thing to clarify since I’ve gotten qs about it — this API is completely unrestricted in usage. Feel free to use it commercially, do representation learning, etc — we want to enable you. We’ll make that more clear in the UI.
