Applications of AI are exploding in tech. Underpinning these applications are open platforms and services providing reinforcement learning. If biotech wants to move as fast as tech, we need to take a page out of Silicon Valley's book: open platforms that companies can innovate on directly and easy access to experimental data to reinforce foundational models. We aims to do just that through our strategic partnership with Google Cloud, our growing trove of metagenomic and experimental data, plus our newest offering democratizing access to our Foundry, Lab Data as a Service.
