Our Kaggle competition to predict small molecule binding is over, and nobody was able to generalize into novel chemical space whatsoever. There's a lot of work to do! Blog post: lnkd.in/gW7VNaEa Endpoints: lnkd.in/gUefHgJg

A short summary: axios.com/2024/06/23/leo… Leopold Aschenbrenner — formerly of OpenAI's Superalignment team, now founder of an investment firm focused on artificial general intelligence (AGI) — has posted a massive, provocative essay putting a long lens on AI's future. Why it

Scalable in vivo experiments provide the most complete biological context for therapeutics discovery. This is why NOETIK we couple human data with a high throughout in vivo perturbation platform (Perturb-Map).

Tony Wood on AI for molecule design: ...I would say that’s in many ways polishing diamonds. We’re pretty good at that anyway. And if I solve that problem, I’m not solving the real problem, which is that most things fail in Phase 2, going back to targets and patients. 💯

Our Kaggle competition got a nice writeup by Derek Lowe. It's true, predicting novel chemical material is hard! science.org/content/blog-p…

We would kick off the work days at early Recursion with a 6am summit of local Mt Wire. With Chris Gibson & Mason Victors catching up and testing out these sea level lungs again this morning. Can still do it (barely). LFG. 🚀

I get asked a lot for startup advice. You’re failing, what’s the secret, etc My 2 cents: > There’s a GREAT FILTER in startups that kills almost everyone. It’s there to weed out the ones who are not meant to be there > But it can be beaten, even with little or no capital. If

Excited for NOETIK to participate in the Amazon Web Services GenAI Accelerator. We’re training first-in-class frontier models that understand human cancer biology, and looking forward to scaling! businesswire.com/news/home/2024…

I’m thrilled to announce: at JURA Bio, Inc. we’ve constructed a new kind of generative protein model, which allows us to manufacture its generated designs in the real world at petascale. Paper: static1.squarespace.com/static/66db3a5… Blog: jura.bio/blog/variation…

Folks learning for second time around that without differentiated data, models get commoditized quickly. Faster this cycle even.

To solve hard problems in bio x ai, we need to start from the right data. Check out our recent post Tackling Cancer as a Data Problem on NOETIK noetik.ai/lungcanceratlas
