AI Initiatives in Big Pharma @Grok prompt & Proprietary Training Data and Inference by LPBI Group’s IP Asset Class III: 100 e-Proceedings and 50 Tweet Collections of Top Biotech and Medical Global Conferences, 2013-2025
Overview: Third in LPBI Group’s five-article series on AI-ready digital IP assets for Pharma companies. This installment highlights IP Asset Class III—100 e-proceedings and 50 tweet collections from top global biotech/medical conferences (2013-2025)—as a proprietary, expert-curated corpus of frontier science insights. Using a November 18, 2025, Grok prompt on Pfizer’s AI efforts, it maps these assets to pharma applications, stressing their role in training/inference for foundation models. Unlike prior classes (journal articles, e-books), this focuses on real-time event captures (e.g., speaker quotes, agendas) as unique, non-replicable data for efficiency, education, and branding in AI-driven R&D.
Main Thesis and Key Arguments
Core Idea: LPBI’s IP Asset Class III assets provide the “only written record” of +100 top conferences, with tweet collections as verbatim speaker quotes/affiliations—ideal for ingesting into AI platforms to amplify human expertise in combinatorial predictions. This supports Pfizer’s goals like 16,000-hour savings via generative AI, enabling subject-specific training (e.g., immunotherapy) and future agenda building.
Value Proposition: 150 total assets (100 e-proceedings + 50 tweet collections) form a live repository of domain knowledge, mapped to ontology for immediate AI use. Equivalent to $50MM value (aligned with series benchmarks); unique for branding (“make or break”) as no other source offers such curated event intel. Part of five AI-ready classes (I, II, III, V, X) for healthcare models.
Broader Context: Builds on series by emphasizing event-based data for partnerships/education; contrasts generic datasets with defensible, ethical expert interpretations for global equity (e.g., Pfizer’s AI Learning Lab).

AI Initiatives in Big Pharma @Grok prompt & Proprietary Training Data and Inference by LPBI Group’s IP Asset Class II: 48 e-Books: English Edition & Spanish Edition. 152,000 pages downloaded under pay-per-view
Overview: This is the second installment in a five-article series on LPBI Group’s digital IP assets for AI in pharma. It focuses on IP Asset Class II—48 e-books (bilingual English/Spanish editions)—as a proprietary, expert-curated textual corpus for training and inference in healthcare AI models. Drawing from a November 18, 2025, Grok prompt on Pfizer’s AI efforts, the article maps e-book content to pharma applications, highlighting untapped ML/NLP potential for small language models. Unlike Class I (journal articles), this emphasizes long-form editorial creativity and bilingual scalability, positioning the assets as a “defensible moat” for Big Pharma’s AI acceleration.Main Thesis and Key Arguments
Core Idea: LPBI’s e-books, with 152,000 pay-per-view downloads (largest for any single Amazon e-publisher since 2016), offer domain-specific, human-curated content (e.g., conceptual tables of contents as “masterpieces” reflecting patient care visions) that outperforms generic data in AI training. This enables precise inference for drug discovery, diagnostics, and efficiency, fostering human-AI synergy.
Value Proposition: The BioMed e-Series (5 series: A-E, each bundled as a corpus) totals 48 volumes from collaborations with top scientists/MD/PhDs. Editor-in-Chief’s expertise (UC Berkeley PhD ’83, decision science algorithms, clinical nursing) infuses “big-picture” insights. Valued for multilingual models; only two volumes (Cancer Vol. 1, Genomics Vol. 2) have seen ML analysis—full application could “revolutionize” disease detection.
Broader Context: Part of LPBI’s 10 IP classes; five (I, II, III, V, X) are AI-ready via living ontology. Contrasts with open-source data by emphasizing ethical, diverse, creative inputs for foundation models.

Overview: This article, part of a series on LPBI Group’s digital IP assets, explores how the group’s proprietary content—particularly IP Asset Class I (PharmaceuticalIntelligence.com Journal)—can serve as high-value training data for AI models in the pharmaceutical industry. It uses a Grok AI prompt to detail Pfizer’s AI efforts and maps them to the journal’s expert-curated content, emphasizing the shift from generic AI to domain-specific, human-enhanced models for drug discovery, clinical trials, and beyond. The piece positions LPBI’s assets as “defensible” resources for pre-training, fine-tuning, and inference in healthcare foundation models, contrasting them with public-domain data.Main Thesis and Key Arguments
Core Idea: Traditional AI in pharma often relies on combinatorial predictions from vast but uncurated data, leading to inefficiencies. LPBI’s corpus, with 70% expert interpretations (curations and opinions), injects human creativity and clinical insights, enabling more productive AI outputs. This could spark a “scientific revolution” by powering models like Grok or Claude, boosting knowledge worker efficiency and reducing R&D costs.
Value Proposition: The journal’s 6,250 articles (30% scientific reports, 70% expert analyses) form a 9GB digital repository with a live ontology for semantic mapping. Valued at ~$50MM (based on $30/article download equivalent), it supports AI applications across gene-disease-drug dyads, NLP for rare diseases, and regulatory content generation.
Broader Context: Part of a five-article series showcasing LPBI’s ten IP classes (e.g., e-books, podcasts, images) as ready-to-ingest assets for Big Pharma’s AI strategies.

Authentic Relevance of LPBI Group’s Portfolio of IP as Proprietary Training Data Corpus for AI Initiatives at Big Pharma
Curators: Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN and Stephen J. Williams, PhD
Updated on 11/29/2025
The Voice of Stephen J. Williams, PhD
Since the formation of the LPBI group in 2012, we have set as a goal to digitally curate and ontologize the biomedical literature. These aspects of our mission, although not understandable to most at that time of our inception, was at the forefront of many academic efforts which became the springboard and initial conceptualization of today’s large language models. In select universities like University of Illinois, University of Delaware, and the Technion, academics and researchers at Microsoft and Google, were laying the framework for a semantic web, or Web 3.0. Another company at the forefront of this idea was a company springing forth from Mathematica, Wolfram Research. This idea for a semantic web would entail the processes of curation, digitization, and ontology creation. Their belief, such as ours, was a precursor and much needed key to the puzzle of moving language from machine learning algorithms to the generative transformers used by artificial intelligence.
However as most efforts in this genre focused on general language, our efforts at LPBI Group were focused on the biomedical field, as we understood, from 2012, that the biomedical literature was unique, and so a unique strategy had to be developed to semantically understand biomedical text, even though at the time of 2012 GPTs were not even a concept. However the potential for doing biomedical text analysis was there, and LPBI Group responded by developing a methodology of scientific curation which involved a multimodal strategy to curate, digitize, and ontologize biomedical findings and text.
It was about at the time of 2012 that other groups, mainly focused of drug development applications (for example at University of Indiana) recognized that new computational power of machine learning algorthims could be useful in analyzing complex biological questions. Please see our Synthetic Biology in Drug Discovery section of our Journal for more information on this. For instance, an early adopter of this strategy, a company called Data2Discovery, one of the earliest AI for drug discovery startups, stated
We are able to improve drug discovery now as well as demonstrating new fast-cycle AI-driven processes that will have a revolutionary impact on drug discovery if fully implemented. We have had some dramatic successes, but we are just starting to discover the impact that data, knowledge graphs, AI and machine learning can together have on drug discovery.
We need all the expertise of academics, consortia, AI companies and pharma to make his happen, and it’s going to require some serious investment, and a big change of thinking. But the opportunity to get drug discovery out of the death spiral and framed for data-driven success is too important to pass up.
However the LPBI Group was cognizant of these changes occuring and pivoted to the developing natural language processing arena as well as ideas for the developing Blockchain technology. This was more of a natural progression for the LPBI Group than a pivot (please read here).
This would be our Vision 2.0, to make biomedical text amenable for Natural Language Processing. We utilized a few strategies in this regard, partnering with a company who was developing NLP for biomedical text analysis, and developing in house machine learning and NLP methods using the Wolfram language environment. Our focus on structuring biomedical text (versus the highly structured genomics and omics data found in many omics related databanks) was prescient for the time. As NLP and machine learning efforts realized, biomedical text needs to have a structure much like genes, proteins and other molecular databases had been organized. Therefore it was realized that structured data was imperative for efficient NLP analysis, a crux for the new GPT which was being developed (and in this mind still is a crux for current GPT and LLM models when it comes to biomedical text analysis).
Our strategy using our scientific curation methodology (as described below in links form our founder Dr. Aviva Lev-Ari, was proven to be highly efficient and amenable to NLP analysis, as a pilot with an NLP company noticed. Most of the data they were using was unstructured and their first step involved annotation and structuring the text, as we had already performed for years. This was critical as our text was able to pull out more concepts, relationships, in a faster time than NLP on sources such as PubMed available text. We had also developed our own in house algorithms for NLP on our material, which is shown in some of our book offerrings and individual articles.
However with the advent of GPT it was thought all this was unnecessary. However this idea that our strategy was outdated or irrelevent in the era of GPT was wholly incorrect to the advocates of a sole GPT strategy to analyze biomedical text and data. It is now understood that structure is needed as some of biomedical-centric GPT projects would find out, such as BioGPT. We have many articles which attest to the lack of accuracy and efficiency of these GPT architectures (seen here). These include failure rates in many areas of healthcare and biomedicine by sole reliance on GPT,
It was realized by many in the biomedical arena, especially those involved in NLP efforts, that there was much value in the semantic web 3.0 idea, and this was readily picked up by those spearheading effort to incorporate knowledge graphs with the new generative AI or GPT technology. We have shown a clear example our scientific methodology of curation with ontology has better inference when combined with knowledge graphs and GPT than reliance on GPT alone
This update was performed by the following methods:
A. GPT 5 Text analysis and Reasoning
B. Insertion of Knowledge Graph on topic Curation of Genomic Analysis from Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Studies from Nodus Labs using InfraNodus software
C. Domain Knowledge Expert evaluation of the Update outcomes
This article has the following Structure:
Part A: Introduction to LLM, Knowledge Graph software InfraNodus, ChatGPT5 and Background Information on curated material for Test Case
Part B: InfraNodus Analysis of manual curation and Knowledge Graph Creation
Part C: Chat GPT 5 Analysis of Manually Curated Material
Part D: Curation entitled Multiple Lung Cancer Genomic Projects Suggest New Targets, Research Directions for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer originally published on 09/05/2014
Results of Article Update with GPT 5
1. GPT5 alone was not able to understand the goal of the article, namely to determine knowledge gaps in a particular research area involving 5 genomic studies on lung cancer patients
2. GPT5 alone was not able to group concepts or comonalities between biological pathways unless supplied with a manually curated list of KEGG pathways from a list of mutated genes. However this precluded any effect that fusion proteins had on the analysis and so GPT5 would only concentrate on mutated genes commonly found in literature
3. GPT was not able to access some of the open Access databases like NCBI Gene Ontology database
Results of Article Update with KnowledgeGraph presentation to GPT 5
4. As the Knowledge Graph understood the importance of fusion proteins and transversions, the knowledgegraph augmented the GPT analysis and so enriched the known pathways as well as could correctly identify the less represented pathways in the knowledge graph
5. This led to the identification of many novel signaling pathways not identified in the original analysis, and was able to perform this task with ease and speed
6. GPT with InfraNodus Analysis was able to propose pertinent questions for future research (the goal of the original curation) such as:
How does the interaction between [[EGFR]] mutations and sex-specific gene alterations, including [[RBM10]], influence treatment outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma?
How does the intersection of mutational patterns from smoking influence pathway activation in NSCLC, and can identifying these interactions improve targeted therapy development?
Novelty in comparison to Original article published on 09/05/2014
7. it appears that manual curation is necessary to assist in the building of relevant knowledge graphs in the biomedical fields to augment generative AI analysis
8. by itself, generative AI is not optimized for inference of higher concepts from biomedical text, and therefore, at this point, requires the input from human curators developing domain-specific knowledge graphs
9. The combination of ChatGPT5 and Knowledge graphs of this manually curated biomedical text added a further layer of complexity of gaps of knowledge not seen in the original curations including the need to study noncanonical signaling pathways like WNT and Hedgehog in smoker versus nonsmoker cohorts of lung cancer patients

“Show Thinking” by AI Deep Research: The AI-generated Biography Description of Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN, Founder of PharmaceuticalIntelligence.com by Perplexity.ai and by Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental)
Pfizer, a global pharmaceutical leader, has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) across its operations to accelerate drug discovery, enhance clinical trials, improve manufacturing, and drive patient-centric innovations. These efforts aim to reduce development timelines, boost efficiency, and address challenges like rare disease detection. As of late 2025, Pfizer’s AI strategy emphasizes internal expertise, cloud-based tools (primarily with AWS), and cross-industry collaborations, with a focus on multimodal data analysis and generative AI. Below is a breakdown of key initiatives, drawn from recent developments.
1. Pfizer AI Cloud Transformation (PACT) Program Launched in 2021 with AWS, PACT is a prototyping accelerator for AI/ML applications in lab, clinical manufacturing, and supply chain efforts. It has pursued 14 projects, with five now in production. Key outcomes include:
Generative AI tools that save scientists up to 16,000 hours annually in literature searches and data analysis.
55% reduction in infrastructure costs through cloud optimization.
Exploration of virtual/augmented reality for training, with rapid prototyping to test feasibility. This program fosters “fail-fast” innovation, enabling quick iteration on ideas like AI-driven predictive modeling.
2. Drug Discovery and Development Acceleration Pfizer uses AI, supercomputing, and ML to streamline R&D, cutting years off traditional timelines (e.g., from 8–10 years to months for certain candidates).
COVID-19 Initiatives: AI optimized molecular searches for PAXLOVID (oral antiviral), enabling intravenous-to-oral pivots. During vaccine development, the Safety Data Quality (SDQ) tool—a custom AI for clinical trial data management—saved a full month of analysis via the Breakthrough Change Accelerator sandbox.
Precision Medicine and Subpopulation Identification: Advanced ML (classical and deep learning) analyzes molecular datasets from trials to predict patient responses, informing trial design, first-in-human studies, and oncology/inflammatory disease targeting. This has doubled clinical success rates to ~20% (vs. industry 7–10%).
ML Research Hub: Pfizer’s Cambridge, MA-based Biomedical Data Science group builds internal talent for AI in genome sciences, predicting disease outcomes and treatment efficacy using techniques from tech giants like Google.
3. Clinical Trials and Regulatory Efficiency AI automates content creation across the drug lifecycle, from lab data to regulatory docs and patient booklets, ensuring quality and speed.
Predictive Regulatory Tools: ML models forecast regulator queries, proactively addressing safety concerns to build trust and shorten approvals.
Decentralized Trials: The “Clinical Trial Anywhere” model uses AI to integrate remote data (e.g., home health visits), improving recruitment/retention and generating real-world evidence.
Inventory and Supply Chain: AI predicts vaccine storage issues, pioneered during COVID distribution.
4. Disease Detection and Diagnostics
ATTR-CM Initiative: Through the ASPIRE collaboration (with Amyloidosis Research Consortium), AI analyzes EHRs, ECGs, and echocardiograms to detect transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy earlier, targeting underdiagnosed heart failure cases.
Rare Diseases: ML models identify symptoms in large datasets, mapping the immune system for better predictions.
5. Generative AI and Operational Tools
Charlie Platform: Rolled out in 2024 for marketing, this gen AI tool (named after co-founder Charles Pfizer) generates compliant content like emails, presentations, and medical article drafts. Trained on approved product data, it streamlines physician targeting and customer insights.
Scientific Data Cloud: AWS-powered centralization of data/ML capabilities, enabling faster research and treating 1.3 billion patients in 2022. It supports gen AI via Amazon SageMaker/Bedrock for manufacturing efficiency.
Global Health Grants: Through the Pfizer Foundation’s AI Learning Lab, funding supports AI for equitable healthcare access, e.g., biometric tools for community care.
6. Partnerships and Education
Collaborations: With AWS for cloud AI; IMI Big Picture for a 3M-sample disease database; IIT Madras for the 2025 AIPM Symposium on AI in pharma (focusing on drug discovery and precision medicine).
Talent and Events: Hosting webinars on AI in manufacturing (e.g., predictive maintenance, regulatory submissions) and engaging leaders like Dr. Subha Madhavan on AI for biomedical data integration.
Strategic Focus: $500M R&D reinvestment by 2026 targets AI for productivity, part of $7.7B cost savings. Emphasis on ethical AI, diverse datasets, and competing with global biotech advances (e.g., China’s AI in CRISPR).
Pfizer’s approach balances operational efficiency with transformative R&D, positioning AI as a core enabler rather than a standalone focus. Ongoing investments, like cloud migrations saving $47M annually and reducing CO2 emissions, underscore sustainability. For the latest, monitor Pfizer’s investor updates or events like AWS re:Invent.

Dr. Lev-Ari Prompted @Grok on 11/18/2025:
AI-Driven Cost Savings in Big Pharma
@Grok responded:
AI-Driven Cost Savings in Big PharmaArtificial intelligence (AI) applications across the pharmaceutical value chain—particularly in drug discovery, clinical trials, and operations—have the potential to generate substantial savings for major pharmaceutical companies (often referred to as “Big Pharma”). Based on recent industry reports and analyses from 2024-2025, these savings vary by application but could collectively reach tens of billions annually by the late 2020s. Projections indicate AI could add up to 11% in value relative to revenue for biopharma firms over the next five years through productivity gains and cost reductions. Below, I break down the estimated savings levels by key areas, drawing from credible sources like McKinsey, Deloitte, IQVIA, and others.
Clinical Trials
Annual Industry-Wide Savings: By 2030, AI integration into 60-70% of clinical trials could save the pharmaceutical industry $20-30 billion per year through faster timelines, better patient matching, and reduced administrative costs.
Per-Trial Cost Reduction: AI can cut trial costs by up to 70% and shorten durations by 80%, enabling quicker regulatory submissions (40% faster) with 50% improved cost efficiency. For example, AstraZeneca reported up to 25% shorter trial durations in cancer drug studies using AI for dose optimization and biomarker identification.
Specific Efficiency Gains: Feasibility surveys can see 90% time reductions using AI/ML tools.
Drug Discovery and Development
R&D Cost Drop: AI could reduce drug discovery costs by up to 40%, with overall development timelines shrinking from 5 years to 12-18 months (an 80% cut in some cases). From discovery to preclinical candidate stage, timelines can decrease by up to 50%.
Total Clinical Development Savings: Projected at $25 billion across the sector, driven by AI-accelerated pipelines.
Operations and Broader Impacts
Value Relative to Revenue: Biopharma AI investments may yield up to 11% additional value (e.g., via cost efficiencies and revenue growth) over five years. For related medtech segments, savings could hit 12% of total revenue within 2-3 years.
Operating Profits Boost: By 2030, AI could add $254 billion in annual operating profits industry-wide through productivity jumps (e.g., 50-100% in quality control) and lead time reductions (60-70%).
Time-to-Market: Up to 10% faster overall, with production KPIs improving revenue by 25%.
These estimates assume scaled adoption, with global AI spending in pharma rising from ~$3 billion in 2025 to $22-25 billion by 2027-2030. Challenges like high initial costs and data infrastructure may temper short-term gains, but early adopters (e.g., Pfizer, Novartis) are already seeing ROI. For context, the global pharma market is projected at $1.6 trillion by 2025, so even modest percentages translate to billions in savings. If you need details on a specific AI use case or company, let me know!

“Authentic Relevance of LPBI Group’s Portfolio of IP as Proprietary Training Data Corpus for AI Initiatives at Big Pharma”
This November 15, 2025, article on PharmaceuticalIntelligence.com (curated by LPBI Group) makes a compelling case for leveraging LPBI’s decade-plus of expert-curated digital IP as a high-fidelity, rights-clean training corpus to supercharge AI-driven innovation in Big Pharma. It contrasts the limitations of generic LLMs (like GPT) with the need for domain-specific, ontologized biomedical data, positioning LPBI’s assets as a “defensible moat” for accelerating R&D in drug discovery, precision medicine, and beyond. The piece blends market analysis of pharma giants with a deep dive into LPBI’s portfolio, emphasizing its multimodal, metadata-rich structure for NLP, knowledge graphs, and fine-tuning SLMs/LLMs.IntroductionThe thesis: In an era where AI investments in pharma (e.g., Eli Lilly’s aggressive funding) focus on slashing R&D timelines by 60%+ in target discovery and 25% in drug design, LPBI’s proprietary corpus—built since 2012 via human curation, digitization, and ontology mapping—offers unmatched authenticity over web-scraped data. It addresses GPT’s biomedical shortcomings (e.g., failing to infer fusion proteins or noncanonical pathways without curated inputs) and highlights LPBI’s foresight in text analysis for generative AI augmentation. A key quote from Data2Discovery: “We are able to improve drug discovery now as well as demonstrating new fast-cycle AI-driven processes that will have a revolutionary impact on drug discovery if fully implemented.”Portfolio OverviewLPBI’s ~9 GB, debt-free, multimodal corpus is privately held, expert-curated (e.g., by Prof. Marcus W. Feldman and Dr. Stephen J. Williams), and ingest-ready for AI pre-training/evaluations.

Real Time Conferecence Coverage: Advancing Precision Medicine Conference Philadelphia PA November 1,2 2024 Deliverables
Curator:Stephen J. Williams, Ph.D.
Below are deliverables in form of real Time conference coverage from the Advancing Precision Medicine Confererence held this year in Philadelphia, PA. The meeting brought together scientists and clinicians to discuss the challenges faced in implementing genomics and proteomics into precision medicine decision making workflow. As summarized by a future release at the 2025 ASCO, there are many issues and hindrances to incorporating data obtained from sequencing to make a personalized medicine strategy. The meeting focused on two main disease states: oncology and cardiovascular however most of the live meeting notes are from the oncology tract. In general it was discussed there are three areas which need to be addressed to correctly and more frequently incorporate precision medicine and genomic panel testing into clinical decision making workflow:
access to testing panels and testing methodology for both doctors and patients
expert interpretation of results including algorithms needed to analyze the data
more education of molecular biology and omics data and methodology in medical school to address knowledge gaps between clinicians and scientists
The issues can be summarized by a JCO report to ASCO in 2022:
Personalized medicine presents new opportunities for patients with cancer. However, many patients do not receive the most effective personalized treatments because of challenges associated with integrating predictive biomarker testing into clinical care. Patients are lost at various steps along the precision oncology pathway because of operational inefficiencies, limited understanding of biomarker strategies, inappropriate testing result usage, and access barriers. We examine the impact of various clinical practice gaps associated with diagnostic testing-informed personalized medicine strategies on the treatment of advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (aNSCLC).
The authors used a Diaceutics’ Data Repository, a multisource database including commercial and Medicare claims and laboratory data from over 500,000 patients with non–small-cell lung cancer in the United States. They analyzed the number of patients with newly diagnosed aNSCLC who could have, but did not, benefit from a personalized treatment. The analysis was focused on identifying the gaps and at which steps during care did gaps existed which precipitated either lack of use of precision medicine testing or incorrect interpretation of results.
Their conclusions were alarming:
Most patients with aNSCLC eligible for precision oncology treatments do not benefit from them because of clinical practice gaps. This finding is likely reflective of similar gaps in other cancer types. An increased understanding of the impact of each practice gap can inform strategies to improve the delivery of precision oncology, helping to fully realize the promise of personalized medicine.

DeepSeek-V3 and Reasoning Model R1: Four Views (a) Explanations (b) The Chinese Perspective (c) DeepSeek Impact on Demand for Inference Chips & Training Chips, and (d) LPBI Group: Expert Content for ML Models in Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, Medical and Life Sciences
Curator: Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN
With the announcement of DeepSeek on January 27, 2025, it became compelling to cover several aspects of this hot Artificial Intelligence Technology.
This curation has four Parts:
Part A: Explanations
Part B: The Chinese Perspective
Part C: DeepSeek potential Impact on Demand for Inference Chips & Training Chips, and
Part D: LPBI Group: Expert Content for ML Models in Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, Medical and Life Sciences
1/ First, some context: Right now, training top AI models is INSANELY expensive. OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. spend $100M+ just on compute. They need massive data centers with thousands of $40K GPUs. It’s like needing a whole power plant to run a factory.
2/ DeepSeek just showed up and said “LOL what if we did this for $5M instead?” And they didn’t just talk – they actually DID it. Their models match or beat GPT-4 and Claude on many tasks. The AI world is (as my teenagers say) shook.
3/ How? They rethought everything from the ground up. Traditional AI is like writing every number with 32 decimal places. DeepSeek was like “what if we just used 8? It’s still accurate enough!” Boom – 75% less memory needed.
4/ Then there’s their “multi-token” system. Normal AI reads like a first-grader: “The… cat… sat…” DeepSeek reads in whole phrases at once. 2x faster, 90% as accurate. When you’re processing billions of words, this MATTERS.
5/ But here’s the really clever bit: They built an “expert system.” Instead of one massive AI trying to know everything (like having one person be a doctor, lawyer, AND engineer), they have specialized experts that only wake up when needed.
[color added by curator, See Part D, below]
6/ Traditional models? All 1.8 trillion parameters active ALL THE TIME. DeepSeek? 671B total but only 37B active at once. It’s like having a huge team but only calling in the experts you actually need for each task.
7/ The results are mind-blowing: – Training cost: $100M → $5M – GPUs needed: 100,000 → 2,000 – API costs: 95% cheaper – Can run on gaming GPUs instead of data center hardware
8/ “But wait,” you might say, “there must be a catch!” That’s the wild part – it’s all open source. Anyone can check their work. The code is public. The technical papers explain everything. It’s not magic, just incredibly clever engineering.
9/ Why does this matter? Because it breaks the model of “only huge tech companies can play in AI.” You don’t need a billion-dollar data center anymore. A few good GPUs might do it.
10/ For Nvidia, this is scary. Their entire business model is built on selling super expensive GPUs with 90% margins. If everyone can suddenly do AI with regular gaming GPUs… well, you see the problem.
11/ And here’s the kicker: DeepSeek did this with a team of <200 people. Meanwhile, Meta has teams where the compensation alone exceeds DeepSeek’s entire training budget… and their models aren’t as good.
12/ This is a classic disruption story: Incumbents optimize existing processes, while disruptors rethink the fundamental approach. DeepSeek asked “what if we just did this smarter instead of throwing more hardware at it?”
13/ The implications are huge: – AI development becomes more accessible – Competition increases dramatically – The “moats” of big tech companies look more like puddles – Hardware requirements (and costs) plummet
14/ Of course, giants like OpenAI and Anthropic won’t stand still. They’re probably already implementing these innovations. But the efficiency genie is out of the bottle – there’s no going back to the “just throw more GPUs at it” approach.
15/ Final thought: This feels like one of those moments we’ll look back on as an inflection point. Like when PCs made mainframes less relevant, or when cloud computing changed everything.
AI is about to become a lot more accessible, and a lot less expensive. The question isn’t if this will disrupt the current players, but how fast.
/end
P.S. And yes, all this is available open source. You can literally try their models right now. We’re living in wild times! 🚀
Momma, I’m going viral! No substack or gofundme to share but a few things to add/clarify:
1/ The DeepSeek app is not the same thing as the model. Apps are owned and operated by a Chinese corporation, the model itself is open source.
2/ Jevon’s paradox is the counter argument. Thanks papa @satyanadella. Could be a mix shift in chip type, compute type, etc. but we’re constrained by power and compute right now, not demand constrained.
3/ The techniques used are not ground breaking. It’s the combination of them w/the relative model performance that is so exciting. These are common eng techniques that combined really fly in the face of more compute is the only answer for model performance. Compute is no longer a moat.
4/ Thanks to all for pointing out my NVIDIA market cap numbers miss and other nuances – will do better next time, coach. 🫡

The Mystical DeepSeek. ‘The most important thing about DeepSeek is pushing intelligence’
Founder and CEO Liang Wenfeng is the core person of DeepSeek. He is not the same type of person as Sam Altman. He is very knowledgeable about technology.
DeepSeek has a good reputation because it was the first to release the reproducible MoE, o1, etc. It succeeded in acting early, but whether or not it did the absolute best remains to be seen. Moving forward, the biggest challenges are that resources are limited and can only be invested in the most high-potential areas. DeepSeek’s research and culture are still strong, and if given 100,000 or 200,000 chips, they might be able to do better.
From its preview to its official release, DeepSeek’s model’s long-context capabilities have improved rapidly. DeepSeek’s long-context 20K can be achieved with very conventional methods.
The CEO of Scale.ai said that DeepSeek has 50,000 chips, but that is definitely not reality. According to public information, DeepSeek had 10,000 old A100 chips and possibly 3,000 H800 cards before the ban. DeepSeek pays great attention to compliance and has not purchased any non-compliant GPUs, so it should have few chips. The way the United States uses GPUs is too extravagant.
DeepSeek focused all its efforts on a single goal and subsequently gave up many things, such as multimodality. DeepSeek is not just serving people, but seeking intelligence itself, which may have been a key factor in its success.
In some ways, quant trading can be said to be the business model of DeepSeek. Huanfang (another quantitative investment company founded by Liang Wenfeng) is the product of the last round of machine learning. DeepSeek’s highest priority is to push intelligence. Money and commercialization are not high priorities. China needs several leading AI labs to explore things that can beat OpenAI. Intelligence takes a long time to develop, and has begun to differentiate again this year, so new innovations are bound to result.
From a technical perspective, DeepSeek has been instrumental as a training ground for talent.
The business model of AI labs in the United States is not good either. AI does not have a good business model today and will require viable solutions in the future. Liang Wenfeng is ambitious; DeepSeek does not care about the model and is just heading towards AGI.
Many of the insights from DeepSeek’s paper involve saving hardware costs. On a couple of big dimensions of scaling, DeepSeek’s techniques are able to reduce costs.
In the short-term, everyone will be driven to think about how to make AI more efficient. In the long-run, questions about computing power will remain. Demand for compute remains strong and no company has enough.
Discussing DeepSeek’s organization:
When investing, we always choose the most advanced talent. But we see from DeepSeek’s model (the team is mostly smart young people who graduated from domestic universities) that a group that coheres well may also gradually advance their skills together. It has yet to be seen whether poaching one person might break DeepSeek’s advantage, but for now this seems unlikely.
While there’s a lot of money in the market, DeepSeek’s core advantage is its culture. The research culture of DeepSeek and ByteDance are similar, and both are critical for determining the availability of funding and long-term viability. Only with an important business model can there be a sustainable culture. Both DeepSeek and ByteDance have very good business models.
Why did DeepSeek catch up so fast?
Reasoning models require high-quality data and training. For LLMs or multimodal AI, it’s difficult to catch up with a closed source model from scratch. The architecture of pure reasoning models hasn’t changed much, so it’s easier to catch up in reasoning.
One reason R1 caught up quickly was that the task was not particularly difficult. Reinforcement learning only made the model choices more accurate. R1 did not break through the efficiency of Consensus 32, spending 32 times the efficiency, which is equivalent to moving from deep processing to parallelization, which is not pushing the boundaries of intelligence, just making it easier.

OpenAI Stargate’s $500B Narrative and Changes in Computing Power Demand
The emergence of DeepSeek has led people to question the latest $500B narrative from Nvidia and OpenAI. There’s no verdict yet on compute — and OpenAI’s $500B narrative is their attempt to throw themselves a lifeline.
Regarding the doubts about OpenAI’s $500B infrastructure investment: because OpenAI is a commercial company, it could be risky if debt is involved.
$500B is an extreme number — likely to be executed over 4 or 5 years. SoftBank and OpenAI are the leading players (the former providing capital, the latter technology) — but SoftBank’s current funds can’t support $500B; rather SoftBank is using its assets as collateral. OpenAI, meanwhile, isn’t very cash-rich either, and other AI companies are more technical participants than they are funding providers. So it will be a struggle to fully realize the $500B vision.
OpenAI’s $500B computing power makes sense: during the exploration phase, the cost of trial and error is high, with both human and investment costs being substantial. But although the path isn’t clear and getting from o1 to R1 won’t be easy, at least we can see what the finish line looks like: we can track the intermediate markers, and from day one, aim for others’ proven end states; this gives us a better bearing on our progress. Being at the frontier exploring the next generation is most resource-intensive. The followers don’t bear exploration costs — they’re always just following. If Google/Anthropic succeed in their exploration areas, they might become the frontier company.
In the future, Anthropic might replace all their inference with TPU or AWS chips.
Domestic Chinese companies were previously constrained by computing power, but now it’s proven that the potential technical space is vast. For more efficient models, we might not need especially large cards — we can provide relatively customized chips that can be adapted for compatibility with AMD and ASIC. From an investment perspective, Nvidia’s moat is very high, but ASIC will have yet greater opportunities.
The DeepSeek situation isn’t really about compute — it’s about America realizing China’s capabilities and efficiency.DeepSeek isn’t Nvidia’s vulnerability; Nvidia will grow as long as AI grows. Nvidia’s strength is its ecosystem, which has been built up over a long time. Indeed, when technology develops rapidly, the ecosystem is crucial. The real crisis comes, though, when technology matures like electricity: it becomes commoditized; then, everyone will focus on products, and many ASIC chips will emerge for specific scenario optimization.
Impact on the Secondary Market: ‘Short-term sentiment is under pressure, but the long-term narrative continues’
Points 70 – 74
Open-Source vs Closed Source: ‘If capabilities are similar, closed source will struggle.’
Points 75 – 78
The Impact of DeepSeek’s Breakthrough: ‘Vision Trumps Technology’
DeepSeek’s breakthrough made the outside world realize China’s AI strength. Previously, outsiders thought China’s AI progress lagged America by two years, but DeepSeek shows the gap is actually 3 to 9 months, and in some areas, even shorter.
When it comes to technologies and sectors that America has historically blocked China from accessing, if China can break through nonetheless, those sectors ultimately become highly competitive. AI might follow this pattern — and DeepSeek’s success may well prove this.
DeepSeek didn’t suddenly explode. R1’s impressive results reverberated throughout America’s entire AI establishment.
DeepSeek stands on the shoulders of giants — but exploring the frontier still requires much more time and human capital cost. R1 doesn’t mean that future training costs will decrease.
AI explorers definitely need more computing power; China, as a follower, can leverage its engineering advantages. How Chinese large-model teams use less computing power to produce results, thereby having some definite resilience — or even doing better — might end up being how the US-China AI landscape plays out in the future.
China is still replicating technical solutions; reasoning was proposed by OpenAI in o1, so the next gap between various AI labs will be about who can propose the next reasoning. Infinite-length reasoning might be one vision.
The core difference between different AI labs’ models lies not in technology, but in what each lab’s next vision is.
After all, vision matters more than technology.

Inference chips and training chips are both types of AI chips that serve different purposes. Training chips are used to develop AI models, while inference chips are used to deploy those models in real-world applications.
An “inference chip” is designed to efficiently execute a trained AI model on new data to make predictions in real-time, prioritizing low latency and power consumption, while a “training chip” is optimized for the computationally intensive process of initially training a machine learning model, requiring high processing power and memory bandwidth, often at the cost of power efficiency; essentially, inference chips are for “applying” the learned model, while training chips are for “learning” the model itself.
Key Differences:
Focus:
Inference chips prioritize speed and energy efficiency to run predictions on new data in real-time, whereas training chips focus on maximum computational power to process large datasets during model development.
Application:
Inference chips are typically used in edge devices like smartphones and IoT gadgets where power consumption is critical, while training chips are usually deployed in data centers for large-scale model training.
Architecture Design:
Inference chips often have optimized architectures for specific operations like matrix multiplication, while training chips may have more flexible architectures to handle diverse training tasks.
Example:
Inference Chip:
A dedicated AI chip in a smartphone that quickly identifies objects in a camera image.
Training Chip:
A high-performance GPU in a cloud computing platform used to train a complex language model on massive amounts of text data.
Training vs. Inference (But, Really: Training Then Inference)
To recap: the AI training stage is when you feed data into your learning algorithm to produce a model, and the AI inference stage is when your algorithm uses that training to make inferences from data. Here’s a chart for quick reference:
Table
Inference
Feed training data into a learning algorithm
Apply the model to the inference data
Produces a model comprising code and data
Produces output data
One time-ish (Requirement to retain training data in case of re-training.)
Often continuous
Inference
Apply the model to the inference data
Produces output data
Often continuous
The difference may seem inconsequential at first glance, but defining these two stages helps to show implications for AI adoption particularly with businesses. That is, given that it’s much less resource intensive (and therefore, less expensive), it’s likely to be much easier for businesses to integrate already-trained AI algorithms with their existing systems.
And, as always, we’re big believers in demystifying terminology for discussion purposes. Let us know what you think in the comments, and feel free to let us know what you’re interested in learning about next.
“AI is really two markets, training and inference. Inference is going to be 100 times bigger than training. Nvidia is really good at training but very miscast at inference.” – Chamath Palihapitiya

Matthew S. Smith is a Contributing Editor for IEEE Spectrum and the former Lead Reviews Editor at Digital Trends.
The Nobel Prize Committee for Physics caught the academic community off-guard by handing the 2024 award to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton for their foundational work in neural networks.
The pair won the prize for their seminal papers, both published in the 1980s, that described rudimentary neural networks. Though much simpler than the networks used for modern generative AI like ChatGPT or Stable Diffusion, their ideas laid the foundations on which later research built.
Even Hopfield and Hinton didn’t believe they’d win, with the latter telling The Associated Press he was “flabbergasted.” After all, AI isn’t what comes to mind when most people think of physics. However, the committee took a broader view, in part because the researchers based their neural networks on “fundamental concepts and methods from physics.”
“Initially, I was surprised, given it’s the Nobel Prize in Physics, and their work was in AI and machine learning,” says Padhraic Smyth, a distinguished professor at the University of California, Irvine. “But thinking about it a bit more, it was clearer to me why [the Nobel Prize Committee] did this.” He added that physicists in statistical mechanics have “long thought” about systems that display emergent behavior.
Hopfield first explored these ideas in a 1982 paper on neural networks. He described a type of neural network, later called a Hopfield network, formed by a single layer of interconnected neurons. The paper, which was originally categorized under biophysics, said a neural network could retain “memories” from “any reasonably sized subpart.”
Hinton expanded on that work to conceptualize the Boltzmann machine, a more complex neural network described in a 1985 paper Hinton co-authored with David H. Ackley and Terrence J. Sejnowski. They introduced the concept of “hidden units,” additional layers of neurons which exist between the input and output layers of a neural network but don’t directly interact with either. This makes it possible to handle tasks that require a more generalized understanding, like classifying images.
So, what’s the connection to physics?
Hopfield’s paper references the concept of a “spin glass,” a material in which disordered magnetic particles lead to complex interactions. Hinton and his co-authors drew on statistical mechanics, a field of physics that uses statistics to describe the behavior of particles in a system. They even named their network in honor of Ludwig Boltzmann, the physicist whose work formed the foundation of statistical mechanics.
And the connection between neural networks and physics isn’t a one-way street. Machine learning was crucial to the discovery of the Higgs boson, where it sorted the data generated by billions of proton collisions. This year’s Nobel Prize for Chemistry further underscored machine learning’s importance in research, as the award went to a trio of scientists who built an AI model to predict the structures of proteins.
Smyth saw Hopfield’s efforts first-hand as a student at the California Institute of Technology. “Hopfield was able to bring together mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists, and physicists. He got them in the same room, got them excited about modeling the brain, doing pattern recognition and machine learning, unified by mathematical theories he brought in from physics.”
In 2012, Hinton co-founded a company called DNNResearch with two of his students; Ilya Sutskever, who later co-founded OpenAI, and Alex Krizhevsky. Together, the trio collaborated on AlexNet, a hugely influential neural network for computer vision. Hinton also taught at the University of Toronto, where he continued to champion machine learning.
Navdeep Jaitly, now a deep learning researcher at Apple, said Hinton inspired new generations of engineers and researchers. In Jaitly’s case, the influence was direct; Jaitly studied under Hinton at the University of Toronto.
“I came in with experience in statistical modeling,” says Jaitly, “but Hinton still managed to entirely change how I think about problem solving. In terms of his contributions to machine learning, his methods are central to almost everything we do.”

“for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”
They trained artificial neural networks using physics
This year’s two Nobel Laureates in Physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can autonomously find properties in data, and so perform tasks such as identifying specific elements in pictures.
John Hopfield invented a network that uses a method for saving and recreating patterns. We can imagine the nodes as pixels. The Hopfield network utilises physics that describes a material’s characteristics due to its atomic spin – a property that makes each atom a tiny magnet. The network as a whole is described in a manner equivalent to the energy in the spin system found in physics, and is trained by finding values for the connections between the nodes so that the saved images have low energy. When the Hopfield network is fed a distorted or incomplete image, it methodically works through the nodes and updates their values so the network’s energy falls. The network thus works stepwise to find the saved image that is most like the imperfect one it was fed with.
Geoffrey Hinton used the Hopfield network as the foundation for a new network that uses a different method: the Boltzmann machine. This can learn to recognise characteristic elements in a given type of data. Hinton used tools from statistical physics, the science of systems built from many similar components. The machine is trained by feeding it examples that are very likely to arise when the machine is run. The Boltzmann machine can be used to classify images or create new examples of the type of pattern on which it was trained. Hinton has built upon this work, helping initiate the current explosive development of machine learning.
With the advent of AI in the last 5-7 years in our fields: Pharmaceutical, Life Sciences and Medicine, LPBI Group had launched several initiatives to advance the frontier of knowledge by using our own contents repositories of +8 giga bytes for experimenting with Machine Learning (ML) technologies for Medical Text Analysis.
These AI Technologies include
Natural Language Processing (NLP): Statistical ML and Deep Learning ML
ChatGPT and GPT-4
Generative AI
A quote by Brad Power, Co-founder and CEO, Cancer Patient Lab made in January 2024
LPBI Group is in the admirable position of sitting on a treasure trove of medical literature that would be useful input in the current environment of customized ChatGPTs looking for reliable medical content.
In the Drug Development (DD) field, AI technologies are been employed chiefly, for these tasks:
(a) Generation of molecular information libraries
(b) Explorations and combinatorial experiments on protein structures, and
(c) measurements of biochemical interactions
The A.I. learns from patterns in the data to suggest possible useful drug candidates, as if matching chemical keys to the right protein locks.
Because A.I. for drug development is powered by precise scientific data, toxic “hallucinations” are far less likely than with more broadly trained chatbots. And any potential drug must undergo extensive testing in labs and in clinical trials before it is approved for patients.
“Generative A.I. is transforming the field, but the drug-development process is messy and very human,” said David Baker, a biochemist and director of the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington.
As of December 2023,
24 AI-discovered molecules had completed Phase I trials, with 21 of them being successful. This success rate of 80–90% is higher than the historical industry average of 40–65%.
In Phase II trials, the success rate is around 40%, which is similar to the historical average.
A drug that blocks the activity of an enzyme called aromatase, which the body uses to make estrogen in the ovaries and other tissues. Blocking aromatase lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body, which may stop the growth of cancer cells that need estrogen to grow. AI drugs are used to treat some types of breast cancer or to keep it from coming back. They may also be used to help prevent breast cancer in some women who are at a high risk of developing it. Examples of AI drugs are anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane. AI drugs are a type of hormone therapy. Also called aromatase inhibitor.

According to Grand View Research, the global AI in drug discovery market size was valued at $1.1 billion in 2022, and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.6% from 2023 to 2030. The report states that the growing demand for the discovery and development of novel drug therapies and increasing manufacturing capacities of the life science industry are driving the demand for AI-empowered solutions in the drug discovery processes.
As this report suggests, AI for drug discovery is clearly a growing field within the biopharma industry. Inevitably, as it grows even larger, we will see more companies come to the forefront of the field, hoping to change the face of drug discovery – and also the biopharma industry as a whole – so that the entire drug development process can become faster, more consistent, more accurate, and more scalable.

We use prompt engineering to guide ChatGPT in the automation of text mining of metal–organic framework (MOF) synthesis conditions from diverse formats and styles of the scientific literature. This effectively mitigates ChatGPT’s tendency to hallucinate information, an issue that previously made the use of large language models (LLMs) in scientific fields challenging. Our approach involves the development of a workflow implementing three different processes for text mining, programmed by ChatGPT itself. All of them enable parsing, searching, filtering, classification, summarization, and data unification with different trade-offs among labor, speed, and accuracy. We deploy this system to extract 26 257 distinct synthesis parameters pertaining to approximately 800 MOFs sourced from peer-reviewed research articles. This process incorporates our ChemPrompt Engineering strategy to instruct ChatGPT in text mining, resulting in impressive precision, recall, and F1 scores of 90–99%. Furthermore, with the data set built by text mining, we constructed a machine-learning model with over 87% accuracy in predicting MOF experimental crystallization outcomes and preliminarily identifying important factors in MOF crystallization. We also developed a reliable data-grounded MOF chatbot to answer questions about chemical reactions and synthesis procedures. Given that the process of using ChatGPT reliably mines and tabulates diverse MOF synthesis information in a unified format while using only narrative language requiring no coding expertise, we anticipate that our ChatGPT Chemistry Assistant will be very useful across various other chemistry subdisciplines.

Concluding Remarks
Our research has successfully demonstrated the potential of LLMs, particularly GPT models, in the domain of chemistry research. We presented a ChatGPT Chemistry Assistant that includes three different but connected approaches to text mining with ChemPrompt Engineering: Process 3 is capable of conducting search and filtration, Processes 2 and 3 classify synthesis paragraphs, and Processes 1, 2, and 3 are capable of summarizing synthesis conditions into structured data sets. Enhanced by three fundamental principles of prompt engineering specific to chemistry text processing, coupled with the interactive prompt refinement strategy, the ChatGPT-based assistant has substantially advanced the extraction and analysis of the MOF synthesis literature, with precision, recall, and F1 scores exceeding 90%.
We elucidated two crucial insights from the data set of synthesis conditions. First, the data can be employed to construct predictive models for reaction outcomes, which shed light on the key experimental factors that influence the MOF crystallization process. Second, it is possible to create an MOF chatbot that can provide accurate answers based on text mining, thereby improving access to the synthesis data set and achieving a data-to-dialogue transition. This investigation illustrates the potential for rapid advancement inherent in ChatGPT and other LLMs as a proof of concept.
On a fundamental level, this study provides guidance on interacting with LLMs to serve as AI assistants for chemists, accelerating research with minimal prerequisite coding expertise and thus bridging the gap between chemistry and the realms of computational and data science more effectively. Through interaction and chatting, the code and design of experiments can be modified, democratizing data mining and enhancing the landscape of scientific research. Our work sets a foundation for further exploration and application of LLMs across various scientific domains, paving the way for a new era of AI-assisted chemistry research.
ChatGPT accelerates chemistry discovery for climate response, study shows
By Rachel Leven | August 7, 2023
Yaghi said. “AI has transformed many other sectors of our society – commerce, banking, travel. Why not transform science?”
These datasets on the synergy of the highly-porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) will inform predictive models. The models will accelerate chemists’ ability to create or optimize MOFs, including ones that alleviate water scarcity and capture air pollution. All chemists – not just coders – can build these databases due to the use of AI-fueled chatbots.
To help them teach ChatGPT to generate accurate and relevant information, they modified an approach called “prompt engineering” into “ChemPrompt Engineering.” They developed prompts that avoided asking ChatGPT for made up or misleading content; laid out detailed directions that explained to the chatbot the context and format for the response; and provided the large language model a template or instructions for extracting data.
The chatbot’s literature review – and the experts’ approach – was successful. ChatGPT finished in a fraction of an hour what would have taken a student years to complete, said Borgs, BIDMaP’s director. It mined the synthetic conditions of MOFs with 95% accuracy, Yaghi said.
The Use of ChatGPT in the World of BioInformatics and Cancer Research and Development of BioGPT by MIT
Curator: Stephen J. Williams, Ph.D.
Chatbots are being used in multiple interdisciplanary areas in research and medicine and so it was a natural progression to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and chatbot technology like ChatGPT into bioinformatic analysis.
“In domains like informatics, management and marketing, media and communication science, languages and philosophy, psychology and sociology, engineering, design, and human-computer interaction, the fast expanding body of chatbot study is clearly interdisciplinary.
The field of bioinformatics is a natural fit for incorporting this technology. The curated information below shows some use examples of this technology in bioinformatics related to cancer research.
How ChatGPT can be used in bioinformatics research?
ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) language model that was designed to generate human-like text in a conversational setting. It is not directly related to bioinformatics, which is the field of study that deals with the storage, retrieval, and analysis of biological data, particularly in the context of genetics and genomics. However, ChatGPT could potentially be used in a bioinformatics context as a tool for generating natural language descriptions of genetic or genomic data, or for generating responses to queries about such data.
For example, a researcher could use ChatGPT to generate descriptions of genetic variants or gene expression patterns based on input data. This could be useful for generating summaries of results for reports or papers, or for generating explanations of complex concepts for non-expert audiences. ChatGPT could also be used to generate responses to queries about genetic or genomic data, such as “What is the function of gene X?” or “What are the potential consequences of variant Y?”
It’s worth noting that ChatGPT is just one of many tools and techniques that can be used in bioinformatics, and it is unlikely to be the most suitable or effective option in every situation. There are many specialized tools and resources available for working with biological data, and it is often necessary to use a combination of these tools to fully analyze and understand the data.
Generating descriptions of genetic or genomic data: ChatGPT could be used to generate natural language descriptions of genetic or genomic data based on input data. For example, suppose a researcher has a dataset containing information about gene expression levels in different tissues. The researcher could use ChatGPT to generate a description of the data, such as:
“Gene X is highly expressed in the liver and kidney, with moderate expression in the brain and heart. Gene Y, on the other hand, shows low expression in all tissues except for the lung, where it is highly expressed.”
Thereby ChatGPT, at its simplest level, could be used to ask general questions like “What is the function of gene product X?” and a ChatGPT could give a reasonable response without the scientist having to browse through even highly curated databases lie GeneCards or UniProt or GenBank. Or even “What are potential interactors of Gene X, validated by yeast two hybrid?” without even going to the curated InterActome databases or using expensive software like Genie.
Summarizing results: ChatGPT could be used to generate summaries of results from genetic or genomic studies. For example, a researcher might use ChatGPT to generate a summary of a study that found a association between a particular genetic variant and a particular disease. The summary might look something like this:
“Our study found that individuals with the variant form of gene X are more likely to develop disease Y. Further analysis revealed that this variant is associated with changes in gene expression that may contribute to the development of the disease.”
It’s worth noting that ChatGPT is just one tool that could potentially be used in these types of applications, and it is likely to be most effective when used in combination with other bioinformatics tools and resources. For example, a researcher might use ChatGPT to generate a summary of results, but would also need to use other tools to analyze the data and confirm the findings.
ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) language model that is designed for open-domain conversation. It is not specifically designed for generating descriptions of genetic variants or gene expression patterns, but it can potentially be used for this purpose if you provide it with a sufficient amount of relevant training data and fine-tune it appropriately.
To use ChatGPT to generate descriptions of genetic variants or gene expression patterns, you would first need to obtain a large dataset of examples of descriptions of genetic variants or gene expression patterns. You could use this dataset to fine-tune the ChatGPT model on the task of generating descriptions of genetic variants or gene expression patterns.
Here’s an example of how you might use ChatGPT to generate a description of a genetic variant:
First, you would need to pre-process your dataset of descriptions of genetic variants to prepare it for use with ChatGPT. This might involve splitting the descriptions into individual sentences or phrases, and encoding them using a suitable natural language processing (NLP) library or tool.
Next, you would need to fine-tune the ChatGPT model on the task of generating descriptions of genetic variants. This could involve using a tool like Hugging Face’s Transformers library to load the ChatGPT model and your pre-processed dataset, and then training the model on the task of generating descriptions of genetic variants using an appropriate optimization algorithm.
Once the model has been fine-tuned, you can use it to generate descriptions of genetic variants by providing it with a prompt or seed text and asking it to generate a response. For example, you might provide the model with the prompt “Generate a description of a genetic variant associated with increased risk of breast cancer,” and ask it to generate a response. The model should then generate a description of a genetic variant that is associated with increased risk of breast cancer.
It’s worth noting that generating high-quality descriptions of genetic variants or gene expression patterns is a challenging task, and it may be difficult to achieve good results using a language model like ChatGPT without a large amount of relevant training data and careful fine-tuning.
To train a language model like chatGPT to extract information about specific genes or diseases from research papers, you would need to follow these steps:
Gather a large dataset of research papers that contain information about the specific genes or diseases you are interested in. This dataset should be diverse and representative of the types of papers you want the model to be able to extract information from.
Preprocess the text data in the research papers by tokenizing the text and creating a vocabulary. You may also want to consider lemmatizing or stemming the text to reduce the dimensionality of the dataset.
Train the language model on the preprocessed text data. You may want to fine-tune a pre-trained model such as chatGPT on your specific dataset, or you can train a new model from scratch.
ChatGPT could also be useful for sequence analysis
A few examples of sequence analysis a ChatGPT could be useful include:
Protein structure
Identifying functional regions of a protein
Predicting protein-protein interactions
Identifying protein homologs
Generating Protein alignments
All this could be done without having access to UNIX servers or proprietary software or knowing GCG coding
ChatGPT in biomedical research
There are several potential ways that ChatGPT or other natural language processing (NLP) models could be applied in biomedical research:
Text summarization: ChatGPT or other NLP models could be used to summarize large amounts of text, such as research papers or clinical notes, in order to extract key information and insights more quickly.
Data extraction: ChatGPT or other NLP models could be used to extract structured data from unstructured text sources, such as research papers or clinical notes. For example, the model could be trained to extract information about specific genes or diseases from research papers, and then used to create a database of this information for further analysis.
Literature review: ChatGPT or other NLP models could be used to assist with literature review tasks, such as identifying relevant papers, extracting key information from papers, or summarizing the main findings of a group of papers.
Predictive modeling: ChatGPT or other NLP models could be used to build predictive models based on large amounts of text data, such as electronic health records or research papers. For example, the model could be trained to predict the likelihood of a patient developing a particular disease based on their medical history and other factors.
It’s worth noting that while NLP models like ChatGPT have the potential to be useful tools in biomedical research, they are only as good as the data they are trained on, and it is important to carefully evaluate the quality and reliability of any results generated by these models.
ChatGPT in text mining of biomedical data
ChatGPT could potentially be used for text mining in the biomedical field in a number of ways. Here are a few examples:
Extracting information from scientific papers: ChatGPT could be trained on a large dataset of scientific papers in the biomedical field, and then used to extract specific pieces of information from these papers, such as the names of compounds, their structures, and their potential uses.
Generating summaries of scientific papers: ChatGPT could be used to generate concise summaries of scientific papers in the biomedical field, highlighting the main findings and implications of the research.
Identifying trends and patterns in scientific literature: ChatGPT could be used to analyze large datasets of scientific papers in the biomedical field and identify trends and patterns in the data, such as emerging areas of research or common themes among different papers.
Generating questions for further research: ChatGPT could be used to suggest questions for further research in the biomedical field based on existing scientific literature, by identifying gaps in current knowledge or areas where further investigation is needed.
Generating hypotheses for scientific experiments: ChatGPT could be used to generate hypotheses for scientific experiments in the biomedical field based on existing scientific literature and data, by identifying potential relationships or associations that could be tested in future research.

In this video, a bioinformatician describes the ways he uses ChatGPT to increase his productivity in writing bioinformatic code and conducting bioinformatic analyses.
He describes a series of uses of ChatGPT in his day to day work as a bioinformatian:
Using ChatGPT as a search engine: He finds more useful and relevant search results than a standard Google or Yahoo search. This saves time as one does not have to pour through multiple pages to find information. However, a caveat is ChatGPT does NOT return sources, as highlighted in previous postings on this page. This feature of ChatGPT is probably why Microsoft bought OpenAI in order to incorporate ChatGPT in their Bing search engine, as well as Office Suite programs
ChatGPT to help with coding projects: Bioinformaticians will spend multiple hours searching for and altering open access available code in order to run certain function like determining the G/C content of DNA (although there are many UNIX based code that has already been established for these purposes). One can use ChatGPT to find such a code and then assist in debugging that code for any flaws
ChatGPT to document and add coding comments: When writing code it is useful to add comments periodically to assist other users to determine how the code works and also how the program flow works as well, including returned variables.
One of the comments was interesting and directed one to use BIOGPT instead of ChatGPT
0:54 oh dear. You cannot use chatgpt like that in Bioinformatics as it is rn without double checking the info from it. You should be using biogpt instead for paper summarisation. ChatGPT goes for human-like responses over precise information recal. It is quite good for debugging though and automating boring awkward scripts
The BioGPT model was proposed in BioGPT: generative pre-trained transformer for biomedical text generation and mining by Renqian Luo, Liai Sun, Yingce Xia, Tao Qin, Sheng Zhang, Hoifung Poon and Tie-Yan Liu. BioGPT is a domain-specific generative pre-trained Transformer language model for biomedical text generation and mining. BioGPT follows the Transformer language model backbone, and is pre-trained on 15M PubMed abstracts from scratch.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
Pre-trained language models have attracted increasing attention in the biomedical domain, inspired by their great success in the general natural language domain. Among the two main branches of pre-trained language models in the general language domain, i.e. BERT (and its variants) and GPT (and its variants), the first one has been extensively studied in the biomedical domain, such as BioBERT and PubMedBERT. While they have achieved great success on a variety of discriminative downstream biomedical tasks, the lack of generation ability constrains their application scope. In this paper, we propose BioGPT, a domain-specific generative Transformer language model pre-trained on large-scale biomedical literature. We evaluate BioGPT on six biomedical natural language processing tasks and demonstrate that our model outperforms previous models on most tasks. Especially, we get 44.98%, 38.42% and 40.76% F1 score on BC5CDR, KD-DTI and DDI end-to-end relation extraction tasks, respectively, and 78.2% accuracy on PubMedQA, creating a new record. Our case study on text generation further demonstrates the advantage of BioGPT on biomedical literature to generate fluent descriptions for biomedical terms.
Tips:
BioGPT is a model with absolute position embeddings so it’s usually advised to pad the inputs on the right rather than the left.
BioGPT was trained with a causal language modeling (CLM) objective and is therefore powerful at predicting the next token in a sequence. Leveraging this feature allows BioGPT to generate syntactically coherent text as it can be observed in the run_generation.py example script.
The model can take the past_key_values (for PyTorch) as input, which is the previously computed key/value attention pairs. Using this (past_key_values or past) value prevents the model from re-computing pre-computed values in the context of text generation. For PyTorch, see past_key_values argument of the BioGptForCausalLM.forward() method for more information on its usage.

BioGPT is MIT-licensed. The license applies to the pre-trained models as well.

Bicalutamide GPT-2 Bicalutamide, a synthetic bicalutamide derivative, was found to increase the cellular proliferation
of C. elegans cells. This effect was not observed with the other synthetic bicalutamide derivatives. This is in line with our previous work which showed that bicalutamide increases the proliferation of C. elegans cells but not in the presence of synthetic bicalutamide.
BioGPT Bicalutamide (Casodex) is an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in patients who have progressed on or are ineligible for docetaxel chemotherapy, as well as for the treatment of early-stage prostate cancer in men who have not progressed on or are ineligible for docetaxel chemotherapy, as well as for the treatment of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) in men who have not progressed on or are ineligible for docetaxel chemotherapy.
Janus kinase 3 (JAK-3) GPT-2 Janus kinase 3 (JAK-3) mediates the conversion of glucose to glycogen in skeletal muscle. The
increase in glucose uptake by skeletal muscle is believed to be associated with a reduction in muscle protein breakdown and with the release of ketone bodies, which contribute to the metabolism of glucose.
BioGPT Janus kinase 3 (JAK-3) is a member of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases and plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, migration and angiogenesis.
Apricitabine GPT-2 Apricitabine, duloxetine and citalopram) were investigated in patients with a history of
treatment-resistant depression (n = 10). We found that treatment with the three drugs significantly decreased depressive symptoms, but not depressive symptoms over the next 12 weeks. We conclude that antidepressant drugs that reduce depressive symptoms and reduce depressive symptoms over time may be beneficial in patients with recurrent depression.
BioGPT Apricitabine is an oral prodrug of 5-aza-2 ’-deoxycytidine (5-aza-CdR), a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor, which has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in combination with low-dose cytarabine (Ara-C) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk MDS or AML.
Xylazine GPT-2 Xylazine, the ‘active ingredient’ in ‘bath salts’ (see above) has been linked to numerous deaths,
including those of former University of California, Berkeley, professor Andrew Anglin, who posted
a video of himself having a bath filled with it.
BioGPT Xylazine is an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist which has been used as a sedative and analgesic in veterinary medicine for many years, but its effects on the cardiovascular system have not been extensively studied in the dog, and its effects on the central nervous system (CNS) have not been well characterized in the dog, despite the fact that xylazine has been widely used as a sedative and analgesic in veterinary medicine for more than 30 years.
Psoralen GPT-2 Psoralen, the city of the spiritualist, and had been given to him by God, who wished to show him
the way of salvation, and to draw him back to the true life of Christ, and to bring him into communion with his fellow-man.
BioGPT Psoralen photochemotherapy (PUVA) is a well-established treatment for psoriasis, but its use is limited by the risk of skin cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck (H & N), which is the most common site of skin cancer in the United States (US)

The rapid growth in literature accumulates diverse and yet comprehensive biomedical knowledge hidden to be mined such as drug interactions. However, it is difficult to extract the heterogeneous knowledge to retrieve or even discover the latest and novel knowledge in an efficient manner. To address such a problem, we propose EGFI for extracting and consolidating drug interactions from large-scale medical literature text data. Specifically, EGFI consists of two parts: classification and generation. In the classification part, EGFI encompasses the language model BioBERT which has been comprehensively pretrained on biomedical corpus. In particular, we propose the multihead self-attention mechanism and packed BiGRU to fuse multiple semantic information for rigorous context modeling. In the generation part, EGFI utilizes another pretrained language model BioGPT-2 where the generation sentences are selected based on filtering rules.
Results: We evaluated the classification part on ‘DDIs 2013’ dataset and ‘DTIs’ dataset, achieving the F1 scores of 0.842 and 0.720 respectively. Moreover, we applied the classification part to distinguish high-quality generated sentences and verified with the existing growth truth to confirm the filtered sentences. The generated sentences that are not recorded in DrugBank and DDIs 2013 dataset demonstrated the potential of EGFI to identify novel drug relationships.

While large language models (LLMs) have been successfully applied to various tasks, they still face challenges with hallucinations. Augmenting LLMs with domain-specific tools such as database utilities can facilitate easier and more precise access to specialized knowledge. In this paper, we present GeneGPT, a novel method for teaching LLMs to use the Web APIs of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) for answering genomics questions. Specifically, we prompt Codex to solve the GeneTuring tests with NCBI Web APIs by in-context learning and an augmented decoding algorithm that can detect and execute API calls. Experimental results show that GeneGPT achieves state-of-the-art performance on eight tasks in the GeneTuring benchmark with an average score of 0.83, largely surpassing retrieval-augmented LLMs such as the new Bing (0.44), biomedical LLMs such as BioMedLM (0.08) and BioGPT (0.04), as well as GPT-3 (0.16) and ChatGPT (0.12). Our further analyses suggest that: (1) API demonstrations have good cross-task generalizability and are more useful than documentations for in-context learning; (2) GeneGPT can generalize to longer chains of API calls and answer multi-hop questions in GeneHop, a novel dataset introduced in this work; (3) Different types of errors are enriched in different tasks, providing valuable insights for future improvements.
PLEASE WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS ON BIOGPT
This one entitled
Microsoft’s BioGPT Shows Promise as the Best Biomedical NLP
gives a good general description of this new MIT/Microsoft project and its usefullness in scanning 15 million articles on PubMed while returning ChatGPT like answers.
Please note one of the comments which is VERY IMPORTANT
bioGPT is difficult for non-developers to use, and Microsoft researchers seem to default that all users are proficient in Python and ML.
Much like Microsoft Azure it seems this BioGPT is meant for developers who have advanced programming skill. Seems odd then to be paying programmers multiK salaries when one or two Key Opinion Leaders from the medical field might suffice but I would be sure Microsoft will figure this out.
