Evo 2 AI System

Evo 2 AI System Latest News

AI chipmakers Nvidia have unveiled a powerful AI system for genetic research created a new AI called Evo 2.

About Evo 2 AI System

• It is a powerful new foundation model that understands the genetic code for all domains of life.
• It is the largest publicly available AI model for genomic data.
• It was built on the NVIDIA DGX Cloud platform in a collaboration led by nonprofit biomedical research organization Arc Institute and Stanford University.
• The model was built using 2,000 Nvidia H100 processors on Amazon’s cloud infrastructure.
• It is trained on an enormous dataset of nearly 9 trillion nucleotides pieces of genetic information taken from over 128,000 different organisms on a wide array of species across domains of life — including plants, animals and bacteria.
• In early tests, it accurately identified 90% of potentially harmful mutations in BRCA1, a gene linked to breast cancer.

Potential Applications of Evo 2 AI System

• It can be applied to biomolecular research applications including predicting the form and function of proteins based on their genetic sequence, identifying novel molecules for healthcare and industrial applications, and evaluating how gene mutations affect their function.
• The model can be applied to scientific fields such as healthcare, agricultural biotechnology and materials science.

Evo 2 AI System FAQs

Q1: What are the 4 types of artificial intelligence?

Ans: The four main types of artificial intelligence (AI) are reactive, limited memory, theory of mind, and self-aware. 

Q2: What is the cloud platform?

Ans: A cloud platform is the hardware, software, and operating system within one or more data centers that makes cloud computing possible.

Q3: What is the definition of nucleotides?

Ans: Nucleotides are organic molecules that are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. They are also essential for cell metabolism and protein production.
