We are building AI to save lives and advance our understanding of biology. I spent countless hours in the trenches of pretraining our foundation model, Omnii-1, hoping it would start learning the highly complex language of life. One model that learns across modalities, while the common approach is to build specialized models for each modality and task. When we put this pretrained model in the hands of our amazing team of comp-bio experts, I was so excited to see how well they could take this raw model and mid- and post-train it for so many diverse applications! One pretrained model. Adapted to solve multiple different challenging tasks better than the specialized state-of-the-art models. I am so proud of this absolutely world-class team! And this is just the beginning!! 🚀 🧬
