Jakob co-founded Inceptive in 2021 with the goal of enabling a new generation of medicines, reminiscent of software but running on our cells. Inceptive aims to accomplish this by learning life’s languages with a unique combination of cutting edge deep learning and novel, scalable biochemistry experiments. Before Inceptive, Jakob conducted research on deep learning, including co-authoring the research papers titled “Attention Is All You Need” and “An Image is Worth 16x16 Words”. Widely hailed as foundational documents in modern artificial intelligence, these papers marked a pivotal moment as transformers evolved into the predominant architecture powering large language models and a growing number of leading vision and multi-modal models.
