The UK Biobank has become an important resource for researchers who, since 2012, have been able to request access to anonymised data in order to examine the causes, prevalence and treatment of myriad diseases.
Amazon Bio Discovery enables scientists to run complex computational workflows through more than 40 AI-specialized foundational models, trained on a wide range of biological datasets. These models generate and evaluate potential drug molecules, alongside AI agents that help scientists to select models, optimize inputs and evaluate candidates according to their research.
Helical's thesis is that bio foundation models, AI systems trained on vast genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic datasets, have already crossed a quality threshold that makes computational hypothesis-testing meaningful in pharma research.
DeepSeek V4 Pro has a total of 1.6 trillion parameters, making it the biggest open-weight model available, outstripping competitors like Moonshot AI's Kimi K 2.6 and MiniMax's M1.
