In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at a new AI model for bioengineering, this week’s dueling rocket launches, magnets, lasers and more. You can sign up to get The Prototype in your inbox here.
OpenAI teamed up with Retro Biosciences to build a machine learning model focused on generating new proteins. The new model, called GPT-4b, is a custom version of OpenAI’s GPT-4o model built specifically for Retro that is focused on bioengineering. Interestingly enough, the model is less focused on predicting specific protein structures, like Deepmind’s AlphaFold, but rather on predicting how those proteins will interact with others.
Using the model, Retro’s scientists re-engineered two Yamanaka factor proteins, which play a key role in fetal development....
