AI gene editing 🧬

ChatGPT Meets CRISPR

Imagine a world where tweaking your genes is as easy as updating your smartphone’s OS. Thanks to innovations in CRISPR, that future is knocking on our door. 

This week, researchers from Profluent and Stanford University announced a groundbreaking development in gene editing technology. With advanced AI, they've designed a new set of CRISPR models (the strongest genetic editing tool) poised to revolutionize precision medicine. 

Say goodbye to old-school methods. Traditionally, researchers scoured the natural world—hot springs, human gut microbiomes, you name it—to find organisms that might yield new CRISPR systems. This method, while foundational, is slow and resource-intensive. 

Now, generative AI models are leading CRISPR research. 

AI's entrance marks a pivotal shift:

• AI models, trained on vast arrays of protein and genomic sequences, are now masters at decoding genetic patterns. 

• Leveraging this data, AI is generating new CRISPR designs that outperform traditional tools, ensuring more precise edits with significantly reduced risks of unintended effects.

The standout star: OpenCRISPR-1. OpenCRISPR is a cutting-edge gene-editing enzyme designed with AI. What sets it apart? It can edit genes efficiently and with fewer errors than traditional tools. Even better, OpenCRISPR-1 is open-sourced, which means individuals, academic labs and companies can experiment with the technology for free.

Claude Goes Mobile and Introduces Team Plan

Anthropic is officially bringing its beloved chatbot to iOS devices and businesses everywhere. 

The details: Claude, developed by Anthropic, has been a key player in the AI field since its debut. Released in various sizes to suit different needs, these models have been praised for their contextual awareness, multimodality, and accuracy. And now, Anthropic is bringing its impressive technology to mobile and businesses.  

Claude at your fingertips. Previously, accessing Claude required visiting Anthropic’s website or using third-party platforms like Hugging Face. The new app changes the game through direct interaction through mobile devices and features like chat and image analysis, on par with other leading AI apps.

You can now invite your team into the fun. Anthropic's introduction of the Team plan marks a strategic move to cater to group usage:

• Accessibility: Allows a minimum of five people per group, with each seat costing $30 per month.

• Enhanced capabilities: Subscribers can perform more chat queries and handle complex, lengthy conversations thanks to a larger context window.

• Administrative control: Provides groups with more administrative features, suitable for managing both professional and personal settings.

Plan flexibility: Users can toggle between the Pro subscription and the Team plan directly within the app, enhancing flexibility for varied use cases.

Nvidia's ChatRTX Boosts Local AI

Nvidia is significantly expanding the capabilities of ChatRTX, its locally-operated AI chatbot—including support for new AI models like Google's Gemma and more robust voice query functionalities through Whisper AI.

Local processing gets a boost. ChatRTX already stood out by allowing users to run AI directly on their PCs, keeping data processing private and quick. This update takes it further by incorporating:

• Google's Gemma: Specifically designed for local operations on powerful machines, this model enhances the ability to handle complex queries and data analysis without a hitch.

• OpenAI's CLIP: Known for its image recognition prowess, CLIP allows ChatRTX users to search and analyze local image data more effectively.

• Whisper AI: Nvidia’s integration of Whisper AI allows users to interact with their local data through voice commands, simplifying how we access and analyze information. Think: less typing, more talking.

• Atlassian launches Rovo, its new AI teammate.

• Ideogram unveils Pro tier with 12,000 fast-AI image generations per month.

• From ChatGPT to Gemini: Here’s how AI is rewriting the internet.

• AI security bill aims to prevent safety breaches of AI models.

• You can now generate MidJourney images directly on their website.

• OpenAI announced that memory is now available to Plus users.
