@jure Congrats @jure, @KexinHuang5@YuanhaoQ and team on Biomni-AD! Using Biomni for antibody design. Ran a TREM2 multi-specific case, had a Stanford bio-eng PhD confirm the design makes sense. This is the bar: giving scientists something to build on, not just summarize.
At lunch today with a xAI friend, we predict total headcount of technical staff at xAI, OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic will fall by at least 50% from today's numbers. We assign a prob. of 0.25 of this happening within 1 year, 0.5 within 2 years, and an .85 within 4 years.
