OpenAI is trying to extend human lifespan with the help of a startup working on longevity

OpenAI says it has trained a new AI model called GPT-4b micro in collaboration with Retro Biosciences, a startup specializing in longevity science. Trying to extend human life by 10 yearsAccording to MIT Technology Review.

Retro, it is Supported by Sam Altmanhas been working with OpenAI for about a year on this research, according to the report. The mini-GPT-4b model attempts to re-engineer proteins — a specific group called Yamanaka factors — that can transform human skin cells into youthful-looking stem cells. Retro believes that these proteins represent a promising step towards building human organs and providing replacement cell supplies.

The form is a little different from Google’s form Nobel Prize winner AlphaFoldwhich predicts the shape of proteins, but appears to be OpenAI’s first model designed specifically for biological research. OpenAI and Retro told MIT Technology Review that they plan to release research on the model and its outputs.
