Living Models

Living Models is a Paris-Berkeley based startup focused on applying artificial intelligence to biological research and agricultural innovation. They develop large-scale transformer models trained on genomic, transcriptomic, and other biological datasets to analyze patterns within living organisms. Their initial focus is on plant science, aiming to improve crop resilience and productivity by accelerating the development of new crop varieties through the prediction of genetic variants. They plan to expand their work to other biological systems in the future.
