Summary

One of our big guiding principles is just simplicity. So like when you look at a model like, let's say, CHI-1, I think there are 23 distinct submodules in CHI-1.

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of like, think, really, including: So like when you look at a model like, let's say, CHI-1, I think there are 23 distinct submodules in CHI-1.

Key takeaways
  1. 01So like when you look at a model like, let's say, CHI-1, I think there are 23 distinct submodules in CHI-1
  2. 02And like when you're trying to iterate on something like that, it gets really hard because you're like, I kind of need to understand each of these submodules independently
  3. 03So it's something of a foundation model lab for biology

research-minded practitioners comparing model behavior
