OpenAI says it trained a new AI model called GPT-4b micro, a longevity science startup with Retro Biosciences. We are trying to increase human life expectancy by 10 years.according to MIT Technology Review.
Retro means; Backed by Sam Altman.According to the report, he worked with OpenAI for almost a year on this research. The GPT-4b micromodel tries to re-engineer a specific set of proteins—called Yamanaka factors—that can transform human skin cells into youthful-looking stem cells. Retro believes these proteins are a promising step toward building human organs and providing replacement cells.
The model is slightly different from Google. Nobel Prize Winner AlphaFoldwhich predicts the conformation of proteins; But it appears to be OpenAI's first model custom-built for biological research. OpenAI and Retro told MIT Technology Review that they plan to publish research on the model and its implications.
