Evolving AI on Instagram: "🚨 BREAKING: NVIDIA and Arc Institute introduce Evo2, an AI for understanding and creating DNA. It was trained on 9.3 trillion 'letters' of DNA code, carefully chosen from a huge collection of genomes from across the entire tree of life. Scientists can now write DNA with AI, thanks to the new Evo 2 model. After years of research, they've created the largest AI model for biology, trained on a massive amount of genetic information from across the tree of life. Right now, understanding and manipulating DNA is incredibly complex, especially the "non-coding" regions that control how genes work. Evo 2 is designed to change that. It can read and generate entirely new DNA sequences, up to 1 million base pairs long. Think of it like this: Previous AI could read a book (DNA). Evo2 can write a completely new book, designing genes, chromosomes, and even whole genomes. Arc Institute says Evo2 is a major step towards "generative biology" – using AI to design and create new biological systems. And it's all open source, so scientists everywhere can use it! This could revolutionize medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life itself, leading to things like new medicines, disease-resistant crops, and even entirely new organisms. What are your thoughts on this? 🤔💭 — ➡️ That's it! If you want to keep up with all the AI news, useful tips, and important developments, join 50k+ subscribers reading our free newsletter"
