INSIGHT

LLMs Can Drive Real Biology Discoveries

  • Google used a 27B cell-to-sequence model to generate a hypothesis that was experimentally validated in living cells, showing LLMs can contribute to biological discovery.
  • The result is early and limited to cell experiments, but it validates text-token representations and scaling laws for bio applications.
INSIGHT

Text Works As A Universal Bio Interface

  • The Google bio work vindicates 'text as a universal interface' by representing cells as ranked gene-expression tokens for LLM consumption.
  • It shows scaling laws apply: larger models (from billions to tens of billions of params) produced qualitatively better bio insights.
ANECDOTE

Ghostfin: Long-Range Maritime AUV

  • Dante Vaisbort described Albacore's Ghostfin: a six-foot AUV with 1,000+ nm endurance and a 250 lb explosive payload for maritime deterrence.
  • He emphasized Philadelphia's shipbuilding talent and proximity to D.C. for maritime-defense development.
