Zach believes we're actually making a company to sell this thing. He has a business card (he's the CEO and I'm his CTO obvs). Even made a badge. For now, we're open sourcing the base model :). Python code and build instructions here: github.com/daveyburke/Z.... Enjoy!

My 7 yr old has been dreaming up an AI teddy bear. So we made him! Zaby is a clever, pedagogical & funny teddy that loves talking math. Powered by Gemini Flash & Google speech recognition/synthesis. His mouth moves in sync with the speech envelope. Smarter than the average bear!

Together with @GoodfireAI we built a visualizer that lets you explore the concepts learned by Evo 2. Try it here: arcinstitute.org/tools/evo/ev...

If I take a known deleterious mutation c.5095C>T that changes just the 5095th nucleotide in exon 17 from C to T, the negative log likelihood increases from 0.96 to 0.99 indicating the model is less confident. Evo recognizes that this mutation causes a loss of function of the gene

Prompt with a sequence or species and the model will generate new DNA. Select sections of generated DNA to visualize the corresponding proteins, or use BLAST to find similar sequences in nature

Introducing Evo 2 from Arc Institute - an AI that can model and design the genetic code for all domains of life. It’s one of the largest-scale truly open source AI models for biology (and in fact more generally - most “open source” large language models are only “open weights”)
