OpenAI says it has trained a fresh artificial intelligence model called GPT-4b micro in collaboration with Retro Biosciences, a longevity science startup tried to extend human life by 10 yearsaccording to MIT Technology Review.
Retro, that is supported by Sam AltmanThe report shows that it has been working with OpenAI for about a year on this research. The GPT-4b micromodel attempts to redesign proteins – a specific set called Yamanaka factors – that can transform human skin cells into youthful-looking stem cells. Retro believes that these proteins represent a promising step towards building human organs and providing a supply of cells.
The model is slightly different from Google’s Nobel Prize-winning AlphaFold, which predicts the shape of proteins, but it appears to be the first OpenAI model custom-built for biological research. OpenAI and Retro tell MIT Technology Review that they plan to publish research on the model and its results.
