Foundational Biology Model Trained on 9 Trillion Base Pairs Across All Domains of Life Now Available

In agriculture, the model could help tackle global food shortages by providing insights into plant biology and helping scientists develop varieties of crops that are more climate-resilient or more nutrient-dense. And in other scientific fields, Evo 2 could be applied to design biofuels or engineer proteins that break down oil or plastic.

Evo 2 uses a novel model architecture that can process lengthy sequences of genetic information, up to 1 million tokens. This widened view into the genome could unlock scientists’ understanding of the connection between distant parts of an organism’s genetic code and the mechanics of cell function, gene expression and disease.
“A single human gene contains thousands of nucleotides — so for an AI model to analyze how such complex biological systems work, it needs to process the largest possible portion of a genetic sequence at once,” said Hsu.

People who compare artificial intelligence to Web 3.0 or Bitcoin have not understood what it is all about. Intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is literally the last invention that humans need to make, because all other inventions will follow automatically.

Think about what it means to be able to copy general intelligence: labour becomes a free commodity like sunlight. That is, it can be consumed in as much quantity as needed without diminishing its availability.

AGI is the seed that grows into a forest all by itself, because the robots will build themselves. AGI is the automation of automation. It will multiply its existing intelligence by recursively improving itself.

If AGI can be aligned with human values, we will end up in a world where anyone can be far richer than the richest person alive today, regardless of their own abilities. Even cosmic engineering projects will become feasible using exponentially self-replicating von Neumann probes.
