watch me realize in realtime that @gdb is deadly serious about character-level tokenization and it's already working well for @pdhsu, @SKonermann, and @patrickc's @ArcInstitute 's 40B model that is the "GPT-1 of DNA" with biological language models (instead of natural language), we may finally be able to understand the causes of genetic conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, scanning the billions of base pairs of individual human DNA in a massively scaled up way only AI can do. Superintelligent healthcare may be the one thing that excites me more than superintelligent coding agents.
