🧬 News alert: We’re bringing BaseData out of stealth — the world’s largest and fastest growing biodiscovery dataset, built in collaboration with scientists across 26 countries. šŸ” BaseData adds 9.8 billion newly discovered protein sequences to the known tree of life — expanding it by over 10x beyond what public datasets currently offer. šŸŒ Why does this matter? Because this biological richness will help us break through the data wall holding back Bio AI performance. We’re training biological foundation models on BaseData in partnership with @NVIDIAAI This is a huge step forward in understanding biology and unlocking next-gen biotech. šŸ“° Huge thanks to @AndrewE_Dunn and @endpts for covering the story. Read the article: bit.ly/4e2PRNI And our preprint: bit.ly/43F35Nd #AIForBiology #GTCParis #DrugDiscovery

How do you collect data at a planetary scale to understand biological superintelligence—and turn that flood of info into a foundation for AI? We’ve been working on it at Basecamp Research—and now we’re teaming up with Microsoft & NVIDIA AI to share what we’ve learned at #SXSW2026. Our proposed session, ā€œDecoding Nature: How AI is Learning to Program Biology,ā€ explores how foundation models are learning to read & write DNA—unlocking breakthroughs in health, sustainability & beyond. If that sounds worth a spotlight at SXSW, we’d love your vote. 🧬 Head to SXSW PanelPicker: bit.ly/4mvPTR0 🧠 Search ā€œDecoding Natureā€ ā¤ļø Hit the heart next to the session Every vote helps shape not just the festival—but the future of AI x biology. #PanelPicker #Health #AI #SyntheticBiology
