The OpenAI â Hugging Face attack has people asking âwhat else do we need to worry about?â and Anthropicâs filters flag two things: cyber-security and biology.
The natural question is: what about bio-security, then? Clem Delangue argues that cyber-warfare defensive capabilities need to be open and to keep pace with frontier modelsâ attack capabilitiesRadical Numerics co-founder Eric Nguyen sat down with us and explained why the same models that increase biological capability can also keep defense from falling behind.Building a virus from scratchWhile he was at Stanford, Eric couldnât get traction on Genomic Language Models (GLMs) for a long time. Biologists didnât believe it would work, didnât think they could verify the output, and didnât see important applications beyond what they could already do. He kept pushing, eventually helping lead the development of Evo and contributing to Evo 2 at Arc Institute.
