Bioptimus raises $41M to develop a ‘GPT for biology’
Fledgling French AI startup Bioptimus has raised $41 million to develop a foundational AI model for biology.
Bioptimus co-founder and CEO Jean-Philippe Vert says the company is looking to develop a greater understanding of biology by learning how it works from raw data spanning molecules to entire organisms. However, with a fresh $41 million in the bank, the company is set to bolster its AI platform with a more diverse array of data sources covering broader therapeutic areas, while it will also look to build further partnerships with the pharmaceutical and biotech sector. As part of this, it’s gearing up to release a new multi-modal foundation model later this year, spanning the entire biological spectrum, one that can drive development in sectors including medical, biotech, and even cosmetic.
