@thehamzaguy @OrdoLabs_ Embedding search is one tool our agents have, but the core is our own agent harness and source engine. Every value they write links back to the exact table or passage it came from.

[Ordo Labs (YC F26) @OrdoLabs_]

Today we're launching Ordo Labs (YC F26) 🚀

Every medicine you take is tested in a regulated lab, where scientists still analyze data, check QC and write reports by hand.
Ordo does that work for them. In paid pilots, labs cut post-analysis time by 90%+.

Built by @SebApelgren, @kristinahoang_ and @adamtovatt

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

@thehamzaguy @OrdoLabs_ Yeah, hallucinations are a real concern! We have guardrails in place, and Ordo has to show which data files it got the information from. Scientists still check and sign off on the results.

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

@OrdoLabs_ Been looking forward to sharing this! Proud of what we're building with Kristina and Adam. A lot more to come.

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

@SimClrV2 Interesting indeed Naif, have you come to any new conclusions lately?

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

To get to a world where every disease is cured and there's a medicine for everything, we need far more experiments than people can run.

That means many dark labs: lights off, only robots and agents working, around the clock.

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

Europe's draft rulebook for AI in drug manufacturing says LLMs "should not be used in critical GMP applications."

The industry pushed back, and the EU is reworking the text now.

My bet: the bar won't become "trust the model." It'll become "show me where every number came from."

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

The FDA's first warning letter about AI in drug manufacturing has my favorite line of the year.

The firm skipped a required step and told the FDA it didn't know, because the AI agent "never told you it was required."

AI can write your SOPs. It can't take the inspection for you.

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

The software running regulated labs is 20 to 40 years old. None of it was built for AI.

Soon every one of them will have to answer one question: which AI do you use, and how is it controlled?

Whoever becomes the safe answer keeps that spot for a decade. We intend to be it.

[Sebastian Apelgren @SebApelgren]

Anyone can build an AI that writes a lab report.

The hard part is the inspector who points at one number two years later and asks where it came from.

Every regulated lab will need one approved place where AI can touch the record. That's what we're building at Ordo Labs.

@AshRocket_ @LILUZIVERT yo that’s actually verry cool
