Nearly all frontier AI chases language and pixels. At Radical Numerics, we chase the molecules of life: DNA, RNA, and proteins. Models that reason about biology have to learn directly from that substrate, not from papers about it. AI applied to biology will do more for human

1/ Leaders of OpenAI, Anthropic, & GDM signed a letter urging Congress to mandate DNA synthesis screening. But chatbots & agents can't read DNA. So we built Omnii to defend against natural & AI-designed pathogens. Blog: radicalnumerics.ai/blog/omnii-def… Letter: screendna.org
