🧵 Finally had a chance to dig into DeepSeek’s r1…

Let me break down why DeepSeek’s  AI innovations are blowing people’s minds (and possibly threatening Nvidia’s $2T market cap) in simple terms… 

0/ first off, shout out to @doodlestein who wrote the must-read on this here:

The Short Case for Nvidia StockAll the reasons why Nvidia will have a very hard time living up to the currently lofty expectations of the market.https://youtubetranscriptoptimizer.com/blog/05_the_short_case_for_nvda

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’

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. From a technical perspective, DeepSeek has been instrumental as a training ground for talent.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Discussing DeepSeek’s organization:
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
12. Why did DeepSeek catch up so fast?
    1. 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.
    2. 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.

Pioneers vs. Chasers: ‘AI Progress Resembles a Step Function – Chasers Require 1/10th the Compute’

Points 13 – 17

[Points 18-48 was a long technical discussion we’ve machine-translated below]

Why didn’t the other companies take the DeepSeek approach: ‘Models from the big labs need to maintain a low profile’

Points 49, 50

The Divergence and Bets of 2025 Technology: ‘Can We Find Architectures Beyond Transformer?’

Points 51 – 56

Have developers moved from closed-source models to DeepSeek? ‘Not yet’

Points 57 – 62

OpenAI Stargate’s $500B Narrative and Changes in Computing Power Demand

63. 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.
64. Regarding the doubts about OpenAI’s $500B infrastructure investment: because OpenAI is a commercial company, it could be risky if debt is involved.
65. $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.
66. 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.
67. In the future, Anthropic might replace all their inference with TPU or AWS chips.
68. 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.
69. 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’

79. 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.
80. 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.
81. DeepSeek didn’t suddenly explode. R1’s impressive results reverberated throughout America’s entire AI establishment.
82. 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.
83. 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.
84. 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.
85. The core difference between different AI labs’ models lies not in technology, but in what each lab’s next vision is.
86. After all, vision matters more than technology.

Technical Discussion

There was a deep technical discussion in the article that we’ve machine-translated below.

Technical Detail 1: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). ‘No need for SFT on the reasoning level’

Points 18 – 27

Technical Detail 2: Data. ‘DeepSeek values data annotation’

Points 28 – 30

Technical Detail 3: Distillation. ‘The limit of distillation is that model diversity drops

Points 31 – 43

Technical Detail 4: Process Reward. ‘The upper limit of process reward is human, but the upper limit of outcome supervision is the model itself.’

Points 44 – 48

“Inference Chips” and “Training Chips”: Technology explained

 

AI Chips Explained: Training vs. Inference Processors Unveiled

https://www.friendsofthemetaverse.com/blog/ai-chips-explained-training-vs-inference-processors-unveiled

 

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.

The Health Care Dossier on Clarivate PLC: How Cortellis Is Changing the Life Sciences Industry

Curator: Stephen J. Williams, Ph.D.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarivate 

Clarivate Plc is a British-American publicly traded analytics company that operates a collection of subscription-based services, in the areas of bibliometrics and scientometrics; business / market intelligence, and competitive profiling for pharmacy and biotech, patents, and regulatory compliance; trademark protection, and domain and brand protection. In the academy and the scientific community, Clarivate is known for being the company that calculates the impact factor,^[4] using data from its Web of Science product family, that also includes services/applications such as Publons, EndNote, EndNote Click, and ScholarOne. Its other product families are Cortellis, DRG, CPA Global, Derwent, MarkMonitor, CompuMark, and Darts-ip, ^[3] and also the various ProQuest products and services.

Clarivate was formed in 2016, following the acquisition of Thomson Reuters‘ Intellectual Property and Science business by Onex Corporation and Baring Private Equity Asia. Clarivate has acquired various companies since then, including, notably, ProQuest in 2021.

Further information: Thomson Scientific

Clarivate (formerly CPA Global) was formerly the Intellectual Property and Science division of Thomson Reuters. Before 2008, it was known as Thomson Scientific. In 2016, Thomson Reuters struck a $3.55 billion deal in which they spun it off as an independent company, and sold it to private-equity firms Onex Corporation and Baring Private Equity Asia.

In May 2019, Clarivate merged with the Churchill Capital Corp SPAC to obtain a public listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) It currently trades with symbol NYSE:CLVT.

Acquisitions

• June 1, 2017: Publons, a platform for researchers to share recognition for peer review.
• April 10, 2018: Kopernio, AI-tech startup providing ability to search for full-text versions of selected scientific journal articles.
• October 30, 2018: TrademarkVision, provider of Artificial Intelligence (AI) trademark research applications.
• September 9, 2019: SequenceBase, provider of patent sequence information and search technology to the biotech, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
• December 2, 2019: Darts-ip, provider of case law data and analytics for intellectual property (IP) professionals.
• January 17, 2020: Decision Resources Group (DRG), a leading healthcare research and consulting company, providing high-value healthcare industry analysis and insights.
• June 22, 2020: CustomersFirst Now, in intellectual property (“IP”) software and tech-enabled services.
• October 1, 2020: CPA Global, intellectual property (“IP”) software and tech-enabled services.
• December 1, 2021: ProQuest, software, data and analytics provider to academic, research and national institutions.^[27]It was acquired for $5.3 billion from Cambridge Information Group in what was described as a “huge deal in the library and information publishing world”. The company said that the operational concept behind the acquisition was integrating ProQuest’s products and applications with Web of Science. Chairman of ProQuest Andy Snyder became the vice chairman of Clarivate. The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, an advocacy group for open access to scholarship, voiced antitrust concerns. The acquisition had been delayed mid-year due to a Federal Trade Commission antitrust probe.

Divestments

• November 2020: Clarivate sold its Techstreet division to a for-profit subsidiary of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
• November 2022: Clarivate divested MarkMonitorto Newfold Digital. MarkMonitor registers the domains of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Tencent, YouTube, Wikipedia, and eBay, among other companies. They provide domain management, brand protection, anti-piracy, and anti-fraud services.

Dealmaking panel

Glenn Hunzinger: if you do not have a GLP1 will have a tough time getting a good market price for your company; capital markets are not where they want to be; sees a tough deal making climate like last year.  The problem with many biotech companies are they are coming earlier to the venture capital because of greater funding needs and so it is imperative that they articulate the potential of their company in scientific detail

Rachna Khosla:  Make sure your investors are not just CAPITAL PARTNERS but use their expertise and involve them in development issues you may have, especially ones that a young firm will face.  The problem is most investments assume what the future looks like (for example how antibody drug conjugates, once a field left for dead, has been rejuvenated because of advances in chemistry). 

James Sabry: noted that cardiac and metabolic drugs are now at the focus of many investors, especially with the new anti-obesity drugs on market

Devang Bhuva: Most deals we see start as collaborations or partnerships.  You want to involve an alliance management team early in the deal making process.  This process could take years.

The IPO: How Apogee Therapeutics went public in the most challenging market in years

Not many biotechs went public in 2023. And of those that did, not many have had a great time of it. Apogee is the exception and our panel will offer a behind-the-scenes look at their decision to enter the market and what life is like as a young public company.

Michael Henderson:  Not many biotech IPOs deals happened in 2023.  Michael feels it is because too many biotechs focused on building platforms, which was a hard sell in 2023.  He felt not many biotechs had clear milestones and investors wanted a clear primary validated target.  He said many biotech startups are in a funding crunch and most need at least $440M on their balance sheet to get to 2026.

Biopharma’s dealmaker: Behind the scenes with Centerview Partners co-president Eric Tokat

Almost every major biopharma deal in 2023 had Centerview’s name attached to it. And much of the time, Eric Tokat was the banker making those deals happen. Hear his outlook for 2024, how transactions are getting done and what’s placed his firm at the center of so much action.

E. Eric Tokat

Co-President, Investment Banking

Centerview Partners

CenterView Partners Eric Tokat feels dealmaking will improve in 2024, given the recent flurry of dealmaking at end of last year and right before main JPM Healthcare Conference.  He says Centerview wants to help the biotechs they invest in on their strategic path.  This may translate into buyers more actively involved (more than startups want) and buyers now are in the drivers seat as far as the timeline of deals and development.

Is the megamerger dead for this year?  He says it is very hard to see two major mergers happening but there will be many smaller and mid size biotech deals happening, but these deals will be more speculative in nature..  The focus for large pharma is top line growth.  Most of the buyers have an infrastructure and value is more of buying and dropping it in their business so there is now a huge emphasis on due diligence on whether synergies exist or not

Bioorthogonal chemistry: class of high yielding chemical reactions that proceed rapidly and selectively in biological environments without side reactions toward endogenous functions.  This is also a type of ‘click chemistry’ in biological system where only specifically alter the biomolecule of interest.

Orthogonal: two chemicals not interacting with each other

Dr. Bertozzi noted she has started a new Antibody-Drug-Conjugate (ADC) company which involves designing with biorthogonal chemistry to make new functional molecules with varying properties

She noted hardly any biologists knew anything about glycobiology when she first started.  However now she feels pharma and academia are working very well with each other

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded jointly to ACS Central Science Editor-in-Chief, Carolyn R. Bertozzi of Stanford University, Morten Meldal of the University of Copenhagen, and K. Barry Sharpless of Scripps Research, for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.

To celebrate this remarkable achievement, 2022 Nobel Prize winner Professor Carolyn R. Bertozzi has curated this Bioorthogonal and Click Chemistry Virtual Issue, highlighting papers published across ACS journals that have built upon the foundational work in this exciting area of chemistry.

From Mechanism to Mouse: A Tale of Two Bioorthogonal Reactions

Ellen M. Sletten and Carolyn R. Bertozzi* Acc. Chem. Res. 2011, 44, 9, 666-676 August 15, 2011

Abstract

Bioorthogonal reactions are chemical reactions that neither interact with nor interfere with a biological system. The participating functional groups must be inert to biological moieties, must selectively reactive with each other under biocompatible conditions, and, for in vivo applications, must be nontoxic to cells and organisms. Additionally, it is helpful if one reactive group is small and therefore minimally perturbing of a biomolecule into which it has been introduced either chemically or biosynthetically. Examples from the past decade suggest that a promising strategy for bioorthogonal reaction development begins with an analysis of functional group and reactivity space outside those defined by nature. Issues such as stability of reactants and products (particularly in water), kinetics, and unwanted side reactivity with biofunctionalities must be addressed, ideally guided by detailed mechanistic studies. Finally, the reaction must be tested in a variety of environments, escalating from aqueous media to biomolecule solutions to cultured cells and, for the most optimized transformations, to live organisms.

Biotech downturn survival school

Our panelists have seen the worst, and made it through to the other side. Join us for downturn survival school as our panelists talk about what sets apart the ones who make it through tough times.

These panalists think it will be specialist capital year to shine while the general capital is still sitting on the sidelines

JJ Kang

CEO

Appia Bio

“2023 was a tough year while 2020 was a boon year to start a company.  We will continue to see these cycles; many of these new CEOs have never seen a biotech downturn yet and may not know how to preserve capital for the downturn”.

“Doing a partnership with Kite Pharmaceuticals early in our startp allowed us to get work done without risking a lot of capital, even if it means equity and asset dilution.  That makes sense. However even if you are small insist on being an equal partner.”

“There are many investors we talk to who do not want to invest in cell therapy.  Too risky now”

Carl Gordon

Managing Partner

OrbiMed Advisors

There are many macroeconomic factors affecting investment and capital today which will carry on through 2024.   Not raising money when you do not need money is a bad philosophy.  Always bbe raising captial.  This is especially true when you have to rely on hedge funds.  Parnerships howeve are sometimes the only way for small biotechs to leverage their strengths.

Joshua Boger

Executive Chair

Alkeus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Boger: Expect volatility for 2024.  This environment feels very different than past downturns.

Even in downturns there is still lots of capital; remember access to human capital is better in a downturn and is easier to access;  however it has become harder to get drug approvals

The panelists agree that access to capital and funding will be as tricky in 2024 than 2023.  They did

suggest that a new funding avenue, private credit, may be a source of capital.  This is discussed below:

When thinking about a private alternative investment asset class, the first thing that springs to mind is private equity. But there’s one more asset class with the word private in its name that has recently gained much attention. We’re talking about private credit. 

Indeed, this once little-known investment strategy is now growing rapidly in popularity, offering private investors worldwide an exciting opportunity to diversify their portfolio with, in theory, less risky investments that yield significant returns. 

• Private credit investments refer to investors lending money to companies who then repay the loan at a given interest rate within the predetermined period.
• The private credit market has grown significantly over the past years, rising from $875 million in 2020 to $1.4 trillion at the beginning of 2023.

Artificial Intelligence is making impact in a grand way on biology in three aspects:

1. Speeding up target validation: now we can get through 300 molecules a day
2. Predicition like AlphaFold is doing; molecular simulations
3. Document submission especially with regulatory and IND submissions

Pamela Carroll

COO

Isomorphic Labs formerly of AlphaFold

We were first with Novartis at last year JPM and was one year old but parnering with them in that initial year was very important for sealing the deal.

They are looking now at neurologic diseases like ALS.  She wondered whether ALS is actually multiple diseases and we need to stratify patients like we do in oncology trials.  Their main competion is the whole tech world like Amazon, Google and other Machine Learning companies so being a tech player in the biotech world means you are not just competing with other biotechs but large tech companies as well.

Jorge Conde

General Partner

Need is still great for drug discovery; early adopters show AI tools can be used in big pharma. There are lots of applications of AI in managing care; a lot of back office applications including patient triaging.  He does not see big AI mergers with pharma companies –  this will be mainly partnerships not M&A deals

Alicyn Campbell

Evinova, a Healthtech Subsidiary of the AstraZeneca Group

There is a need to turn AI for real world example.  For example AI tools were used in clinical trials to determine patient cohorts with pneumonitis.  At Evinova they are determining how AI can hel[p show clinical benefit with respect to efficacy and safety

Vertex founder Joshua Boger on surviving downturns, ‘painful’ partnerships, and the importance of culture: #JPM24

Andrew Dunn

Biopharma Correspondent

While the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference was full of voices of measured optimism, rooting for the market to bounce back in 2024, one longtime biotech leader warned against setting any firm expectations.

Instead of predicting when the downturn may end, Vertex Pharmaceuticals founder Joshua Boger said he advises biotech leaders to expect — and plan for — volatility. Speaking Tuesday on an Endpoints News panel alongside OrbiMed’s Carl Gordon and Appia Bio CEO JJ Kang, Boger shared lessons learned on surviving downturns, striking pharma deals, and the importance of keeping a company’s culture based on his two decades of founding and leading Vertex as CEO from 1989 to 2009. The 72-year-old is now serving as executive chairman of Alkeus Pharmaceuticals, a startup developing a rare disease drug.

“I never experienced a straight line up,” Boger said. “Everything had its cycles, and it was how you respond to the cycle, not by predicting when the end is going to be, but just by responding to the present situation.”

At Boger’s first appearance at the JP Morgan conference in 1991, he said the conference’s theme was the end of biotech financing. Just a few months later, Regeneron successfully went public, rapidly changing the outlook for the whole field.

“We had no idea we were ever going to take public money,” he said. “When Regeneron did their IPO, we went, ‘Whoa, there’s something happening here,’ and we pivoted quickly.”

Vertex went public later that year. Throughout his 20-year tenure, Boger said no pharma company ever made an acquisition offer for Vertex, which now commands a market value of $110 billion and recently won the first FDA approval for a CRISPR gene editing therapy.

“We had an uber corporate policy to always make ourselves more expensive than anyone would stomach,” Boger said.

However, Vertex did strike a range of partnerships with Big Pharmas, which Boger described as a painful but necessary part of running a biotech startup.

“It’s impossible for a partnership not to slow you down,” he said. “You can and should try as hard as you can not to do that, but just count on it. They’ll slow you down.”

Boger said startups should insist on being equal partners in pharma deals, at least making sure they have a seat at a partner’s development meetings.

“Realize they’re going to be painful, it’s going to be horrible, and you need to do it,” Boger said.

While Vertex suffered through layoffs, stock price plunges, and trial failures, Boger credited a focus on culture as key to its long-term success.

“It’s the most important ingredient for a successful company,” he said. “Technology is acquirable. Culture is not acquirable. There are 10 companies that will fail because of culture for every one that succeeds, and the successful companies in retrospect will almost always have special cultural aspects that kept them through those downtimes.”

JPM24 opens with ADCs the hottest ticket in San Francisco

By Annalee ArmstrongJan 8, 2024 6:30am

The overall deal flow in biopharma tapered off in 2023 but the big companies sure know what they want (what they really, really want), according to a new report from J.P. Morgan.

And that’s antibody-drug conjugates, which drove a fourth-quarter spike in licensing deal proceeds and provided a glimmer of hope to an industry battered by outside forces and grim financing prospects.

J.P. Morgan’s annual 2023 Biopharma Licensing and Venture Report arrived on the eve of the firm’s famous conference, which is set to welcome thousands of attendees in San Francisco today—East Coast weather permitting.

2023 was tough, but clinical biotechs still had a lot of opportunities to wheel and deal, according to J.P. Morgan. While licensing deals, venture investments, M&A and IPOs were down overall in the fourth quarter, deal values stayed fairly high thanks to a flurry of late-stage tie ups.

Follow the Fierce team’s coverage of the 2024 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference here. 

Biopharma licensing partnerships accounted for $63 billion in total value during the fourth quarter from 108 deals. Just one deal—Merck’s ADC partnership with Daiichi Sankyo—accounted for $22 billion of that. Another huge one was another ADC bet, with Bristol Myers Squibb signing on to work with SystImmune for a total value of $8.4 billion. If you exclude the Merck deal, the total value of these partnerships is still higher than the previous quarter, which ended with $32.1 billion.

The total number of licensing deals compares to 149 in the same quarter a year earlier, 195 for Q4 2021 and 223 for Q4 2022.

As for venture investments, the year closed out with $17 billion total across 250 rounds, thanks to $3.5 billion earned through 79 rounds in the last quarter. Aiolos Bio snagged the title of largest venture round of the quarter with $245 million, which also proved to be the largest series A, too.

There was just one IPO in all of the fourth quarter—Cargo Therapeutics making the plunge for $300 million—and 13 overall for the year. It’s a far cry from the heyday of 2021 and experts are still unsure what 2024 will hold. J.P. Morgan reported $2.5 billion raised from 12 completed biopharma IPOs for the year on Nasdaq and NYSE. Nine out of the 12 companies had clinical programs when they took the leap to the public markets. As of December 13, five of the companies were trading above their IPO price.

As for M&A, December saw a rush of Big Pharmas snapping up companies around Christmas. J.P. Morgan tallied the fourth quarter at $37.6 billion and $128.8 billion across 112 total acquisitions for all of 2023.

AbbVie was the top buyer of the quarter with the two largest acquisitions thanks to the $10 billion outlay for ImmunoGen and $8.7 billion buy of Cerevel Therapeutics.

All of this adds up to 270 total deals in the fourth quarter total, which is lower than the third quarter which exceeded 300.

J.P. Morgan sees some big potential for smaller biopharmas looking for licensing partners, as Big Pharmas have been handing out larger upfront payments for the deals they really want.

Cancer was once again the most in-demand therapeutic areas, reaching a new height of $86.1 billion in 2023. Followed by $21.1 billion for neurological disorders.
