Reddit user asks when labs will open biotech-grade AI capabilities to consumers

A Reddit thread discusses whether frontier labs will soon expose internal biotech capabilities to consumers, citing Claude's recent discovery of a new CRISPR-like enzyme and potential scorpion antivenoms.
The author wants to use such models for personal cosmetic solutions with self-experimentation, but argues dual-use bioweapon risk means these capabilities will likely stay gated for the foreseeable future — unless malicious-use classifiers get reliably good.
