Nvidia and Partners Unveil Evo 2, AI System for Biological Research

AI chipmaker Nvidia and research partners have created Evo 2, an artificial intelligence system designed for biological research. The system aims to accelerate breakthroughs in medicine and genetics.

Evo 2 can read and design genetic code across all forms of life. It learned from nearly 9 trillion pieces of genetic information taken from over 128,000 different organisms, including bacteria, plants, and humans.

In early tests, Evo 2 accurately identified 90 percent of potentially harmful mutations in BRCA1, a gene linked to breast cancer.
