OpenAI has bought Orchestra Bio, a San Francisco startup whose AI agents help drug companies keep sprawling development programs on schedule, the ChatGPT maker <a href="https://openai.com/index/openai-to-acquire-orchestra-bio/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>announced Tuesday</a>. “Our goal is to help scientists make discoveries and manage the work needed to turn them into treatments that reach patients sooner,” OpenAI said in the announcement. Orchestra’s team and platform will be folded into <a href="https://openai.com/rosalind/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>Rosalind</a>, OpenAI’s family of AI models and tools for biologists and chemists. The financial terms were not disclosed. Getting a new medicine from first idea to U.S. approval takes time—up to 15 years according to OpenAI. Every month shaved off that timeline is a month earlier that a new treatment can reach the people waiting for it, and a month earlier that the company can generate cash. The process is also absurdly expensive: bringing one approved drug to market can cost more than <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12668846/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>$2.6 billion</a>, and <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.05386" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">fewer than 10%</a> of candidates that enter human testing ever make it to pharmacy shelves. Beyond the science itself, OpenAI says drug teams have to coordinate work across internal departments and outside partners, often relying on systems that don’t talk to each other. Those partners usually include contract research organizations, the outside labs hired to run studies, and contract manufacturers that produce the experimental drug. Orchestra’s AI agents—software that can watch over tasks and flag problems on its own—work out which activities and deadlines take the hit, gather the relevant information and compare ways to respond, while scientists and program leaders make the final call. Founded in the fall of 2022, Orchestra raised its <a href="https://jobs.8vc.com/companies/orchestra/jobs/28818089-senior-software-engineer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS">>seed round</a> from Andreessen Horowitz, Definition Capital, Insight Partners, and 8VC, and about $20 million in total, according to <a href="https://www.caplight.com/company/orchestra-bio" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Caplight data</a>. The company should not be confused with Orchestra BioMed, an unrelated Nasdaq-listed medical device maker that trades under the ticker OBIO. In April, OpenAI launched <a href="https://decrypt.co/364783/openai-gpt-rosalind-drug-discovery-life-sciences-model" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">GPT-Rosalind</a>, a model built specifically for biology and dru
Iranian Foreign Ministry: Trump cannot start a war and create global chaos, then play the victim.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei: The US and Israel attacked Iran twice in less than nine months—while negotiations were still ongoing. They massacred our children in Minab, killed our daughters in Rameld, and assassinated our leaders. In addition, they intensified sanctions against the Iranian people. They completely violated the memorandum of understanding signed on June 17, and now they are asking the world to condemn Iran! The world is paying the price for the illegal aggression of the US and Israel: regional instability and an unstable global economy. Trump cannot start wars at will, set the entire region ablaze, create global chaos, and then pretend to be the victim. You cannot evade responsibility by turning the aggressor into the accuser and the victim into the guilty.
