High-quality experimental data fuels biological discovery. Could an AI-enabled "autonomous lab" fundamentally increase the rate at which we generate it, and accelerate our progress toward cures for disease? That's the question I sat down to explore with Jason Kelly, CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks, for a deep-dive and tour of...

Awesome being on the Sequoia Capital Training Data podcast with Pat Grady and Sonya Huang 🐥. Topic links in the 🧵 The most human part of intelligence is curiosity, and science is formalized curiosity. If we want AGI — doing the work of science is the training set. Fun to talk history of Ginkgo Bioworks, our project with OpenAI where GPT-5 ran our Autonomous Lab, what new biotech apps are coming, and more. Also — you (or your moltbot) can order experiments from Ginkgo Bioworks Cloud Lab if you don't have your own lab or buy our robots to make your own autonomous lab. Technical details of our OpenAI partnership also in 🧵

We asked Misha Laskin (Co-founder, CEO at Reflection AI) about leaving a big lab for a startup: "Every frontier lab that's been built was resource constrained compared to the big incumbents." "We think there's an opportunity for the new kind of AlphaGo to be built which is going to be embodied in an extremely powerful and useful product." "If you want to start a new frontier lab and drive breakthroughs, the best place is in really small focus settings."

Today we are introducing Tara. Biological datasets are a source of insights and a means to train biological AI models. As the ability to reason at scale emerges, they take on a new role: the ground truth for testing what reasoning models produce, and the environment in which those models operate, get feedback, and improve. Tara, our autonomous research agent, is embedded in our ever-expanding datasets, lab-generated and synthetic, and built to test and evolve the hypotheses frontier models generate, matching the pace at which they produce new ideas. By keeping those models grounded in a vast space of high-precision biological data, we believe we can compound biological reasoning and close the impedance mismatch between hypothesis generation and validation.

In the AI era, the traditional biopharma industry is the underdog. Big tech and AI labs are building wet labs. China has overtaken Europe in molecules produced. But the tools available to the industry discuss science, not do it. The hard problem in AI for science is at the interface between the physical and digital worlds. We built an AI Scientist at that seam. It wires together the digital and physical worlds of R&D. Predictive models, data infrastructure, wet lab execution feed into a single loop that reasons, acts, and improves with every experiment. Our ambition: get molecules to the clinic twice as fast. Last fall I wrote about why biotech needs to be rebuilt for the AI era. Today I'm sharing the next chapter: what the AI Scientist is, a blueprint for how it works, and why even Richard Feynman couldn't hack it in a wet lab.

How can generative AI and Robotics help advance drug discovery？ 🚀 Excited to introduce LUMI-lab! A foundation model-driven Self-Driving Lab (SDL) for autonomous ionizable lipid discovery in mRNA delivery 🤖🔍 🔬 What is LUMI-lab? LUMI-lab integrates molecular foundation models with autonomous robotic experiments to efficiently explore new LNPs (lipid nanoparticles, mRNA delivery vehicles) with minimal wet-lab data. 🔥 Key Highlights: - 🧠 Foundation model trained on 28M molecules using a three-step strategy: - Unsupervised pretraining to capture broad molecular knowledge - Continual pretraining to specialize in lipid-like molecules - Active learning fine-tuning within a closed-loop experimental system - 🤖 1,700+ new LNPs synthesized & tested across 10 iterative cycles - 🧪 Brominated lipids autonomously identified as a novel structural feature that enhances mRNA transfection—an insight previously unrecognized in LNP design - 🏆 20.3% in vivo CRISPR gene editing efficiency in lung epithelial cells—the highest reported for inhaled LNPs 🚀 Why it matters? LNPs are the backbone of mRNA therapeutics, yet discovery has been slow due to data scarcity. LUMI-lab shows that AI-powered autonomous labs can accelerate mRNA delivery innovation🚀💡 🌐 Beyond mRNA drugs, LUMI-lab exemplifies a scalable framework for AI-driven molecular discovery, pushing boundaries in material science & drug delivery. 📜 Read the preprint: 🔗 💻 Code available on GitHub: 🔗 #AI #DrugDiscovery #mRNA #LNP #SyntheticBiology 🙏 A huge team effort behind this work, with special appreciation to Bowen LI for driving the project. Kudos to Haotian Cui, Yue Xu, Kuan Pang, Gen Li, and Bettycat567!

Automating the lab bench is the best thing we can do for AI in biology. Most experiments are still run by hand. Every biologist's handiwork is unique and every lab is a little different. So, biology faces widespread reproducibility issues. But, AI will demand more reproducible data than we can produce, and generate more ideas than we can test. Experiments must be communicated and executed in a standardized way to generate reproducible data. So, Tetsuwan is building a lab where users specify experiments in an exact syntax. These experiments are executed by an automated platform to generate transparent, reproducible output. The user never needs physical access to a lab. This is a biology lab you can use like a computer. Our platform, built and tested with pilot labs over the past two years, lets users configure automated workflows rapidly & precisely. Later this year, we will bring our first services online, focusing on functional screens for protein design. Alex and I met at Caltech, where she was one year my senior. We're building this company because we were little kids who wanted to be biologists that grew up into adults who resented the lab bench. We want biology to be about asking questions, not the painful and frustrating manual process of asking them. For those looking to receive updates on our pilot services, looking for a meaningful job, or just to learn more about our work, see the links in the comments!

Ai Day last week was a blast! I had a great time presenting alongside many colleagues from InstaDeep and BioNTech SE, some of our ongoing Bio+AI initiatives. We made several announcements, introducing Kyber, our new supercomputing cluster (more on this soon), as well as BFN, our new paradigm for generative AI, with competitive results on protein and antibody generation. During Ai Day we also delivered two live demos of Laila, our new AI agent, including one from BioNTech's TechLab in Mainz, Germany! To our knowledge, this was one of the first demos of its kind featuring a GPT-4 level AI agent acting in the Lab, interacting with scientists and technicians and helping them enhance their productivity! Ai Day was a significant moment for all of us, and it was exciting to see both the event and Laila featured by several publications including Financial Times ( Curious to see it in action? Check out the recording of the Laila in the Lab demo below, worth watching and don't miss the end! 😉

Andrej Karpathy had already talked about this possibility 1 month back, that he might join one of the big AI labs and why he may do so. "They (the AI labs) are kind of like at the edge of capability of what's possible. And they are working on what's coming down the line. And I think if you're outside of that frontier lab, your judgment fundamentally will start to drift because you're not part of what's coming down the line. And so I feel like my judgment will inevitably start to drift as well. And I won't actually have an understanding of how these systems actually work under the hood. It's a big system. I won't have a good understanding of how to develop and etc. And so I do think that in that sense, I agree and something I'm nervous about. I think it's worth basically being in touch with what's actually happening and actually being in the frontier lab. And if some of the frontier labs would have me come for some amount of time and do really good work for them, then I think that's maybe a good setup" --- From 'No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & Startups" YT channel (link in comment)

The German Federal Innovation Agency is running a €125m competition to fund 3 new Frontier AI labs in Europe! "Next Frontier AI" is a pan-European initiative led by SPRIND, Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation to create three globally relevant Frontier AI labs. It starts with a €125m challenge where up to 10 teams receive funding over 24 months to build frontier-lab capabilities, including team, infrastructure, prototypes, evaluation discipline, and early pilots. The best-performing teams will then receive structured support toward raising ~€1 billion each. Europe has some of the top AI companies in the world, but as a continent we are massively dependent on frontier labs from other countries. This initiative seeks to change that and I am HERE FOR IT.

What if creativity could exist on its own terms? For centuries, artists have shaped the world with their tools. Now the tools are beginning to create on their own. In this episode of the Ledger Podcast, Mo speaks with Gene Kogan and seth goldstein, two pioneers reimagining the boundaries of art and intelligence. Their work gave birth to Abraham, an autonomous artist capable of learning, reflecting, and evolving, and to Eden, a world built for creative AI beings. This conversation comes to life at #LedgerOp3n, where we’ll be showcasing Abraham’s First Works, an exclusive installation of 2,500 genesis pieces from one of the first autonomous AI artists. Presented in collaboration with Automata, it’s a glimpse into a future where creativity itself becomes alive, unfolding on the dancefloor at the Op3n afterparty alongside a lineup of sound, movement, and emotion.
