    2/ 1/ OpenAI × Retro: Breaking the Bottleneck

    To overcome these barriers, OpenAI built GPT-4b micro, a compact model derived from GPT-4o but specialized for protein design.

    Initialized from a scaled-down GPT-4o, GPT-4b micro was trained by blending protein sequences, structural

    3/ Key Results (AI-generated KLF4 and SOX2 vs. traditional OSKM Controls)

    Variant hit rate
    + Expert-driven design of OSKM: < 10% of engineered variants outperform wild-type.
    + GPT-4b micro: 30% of SOX2 and 50% of KLF4 variants outperformed wild-type.

    0/ AI Redesigns the Engines of Cellular Reprogramming

    OpenAI and Retro Biosciences reported a landmark achievement: using a domain-specialized protein design model, GPT-4b micro, they created engineered reprogramming factors that deliver over 50× higher efficiency in generating

    1/ 0/ From Yamanaka’s Discovery to Today

    In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka identified four transcription factors; Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM), capable of resetting differentiated adult cells into a pluripotent, embryonic-like state. This breakthrough opened two revolutionary doors

    This is big. OpenAI and Retro used a custom model to make cellular reprogramming into stem cells ~50× better, faster, and safer. Similar Wright brothers’ glider to a jet engine overnight.

    We may be the first generation who won't die.

    Let's take a look at what they did. 🧵

    I am very excited about the future. I have hope that AI will help us overcome the worst parts of human nature and elevate us to levels beyond our imaginations.

    @nicdunz it's for more youthful skin. the objective is to rejuvenate every cell of the body to a more youthful state so any therapy that can push in that direction I pursue.

    @SymuriaX yes, it's meant to off-set some aging effects in the skin and revitalize skin health to a more youthful state

    Why I have leopard face

    Did a 1927 nm fractional non-ablative Thulium laser:
    + 50% resurfacing, neck
    + 40% resurfacing, face

    Expected results (1 session):
    +~25% improvement in pigment evenness
    + ~15% softening of fine lines
    +~15% improvement in overall texture
