Radical Numerics' Omnii-1 designed world-first AI phages given to a human patient
JosephJacks_ · x · 2026-10-21
Radical Numerics launched Omnii-1, its most powerful genome language model and a step toward general biological intelligence. In a world first, the model designed bacteriophages administered to a human patient with an antibiotic-resistant infection under compassionate use.
Technical highlights: pre-training tokenizes and blends continuous and discrete biological modalities; post-training adapts the foundation to different applications; inference explores cross-modality reasoning and test-time compute allocation across selective generation and conditioning; the team also pushed underlying numerics and systems to train and run at scale.
