Bioptimus raises additional $41M to build the “GPT of Biology”

Bioptimus, an AI company based in Paris, has raised $41M in its latest funding round, bringing its total funding to $76M. This comes less than a year after its initial seed round, signaling strong investor confidence. The funding, led by Cathay Innovation, will fuel Bioptimus’s mission to transform biological research with its groundbreaking AI model. A model that simulates biology Unlike traditional research that isolates different biological components, Bioptimus aims to break down these barriers. Their model integrates data from various biological scales—molecules, cells, tissues, and organisms—creating a holistic view of biology. CEO Jean-Philippe Vert likens their model to the “GPT of biology,” except it simulates biology instead of generating text. This innovation promises to enhance research in fields like medicine, biotechnology, and even cosmetics, enabling more precise predictions of disease outcomes, responses to treatments, and drug designs. Breakthroughs expected The company’s first major success, the H-Optimus-0 model for pathology, already outperforms others in independent benchmarks, including studies at Harvard and the University of Leeds. With the new funding, Bioptimus plans to further refine its platform, develop strategic partnerships, and expand its datasets, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in biological research and beyond.

Could TikTok become part of Elon Musk’s growing empire?

Home Contact Privacy Policy Advertise Copyright Careers Daily Sahar World Pakistan Trending Business Technology Latest More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) TikTok’s U.S. operations might soon find a new owner in Elon Musk, as China considers selling the popular app to avoid a potential ban. Facing a U.S. government deadline that demands ByteDance Ltd., TikTok’s parent company, divest its U.S. branch, Beijing is reportedly exploring Musk as a possible buyer. Why is Elon Musk’s name coming up? While Chinese officials prefer to keep TikTok under ByteDance’s ownership, the possibility of a forced sale has led them to consider alternatives. Musk’s name comes up due to his ties with the Trump administration and his strong business links in China through Tesla. A TikTok-Musk deal could create a powerful combination, merging TikTok’s massive video platform with Musk’s X social media network. This move could significantly boost ad revenues and provide valuable content for Musk’s AI projects. Possible ban However, TikTok’s fate is far from decided. The U.S. Supreme Court is currently reviewing the app’s appeal against the ban, but early indications suggest the law may be upheld. As the deadline approaches, all eyes are on how this high-stakes scenario unfolds—and whether Musk will add TikTok to his growing tech empire.
