Programmable Genomes and Defensive AI: Radical Numerics' Dual-Mandate Frontier

Radical Numerics CEO Eric Nguyen described a shift toward generative genomic models that synthesize functional viral genomes, crossing what the analysis calls a threshold from digital creation to physical biosecurity, in an interview with Latent Space covered by Singularity Moments. The analysis also covers sub-quadratic model architectures and argues biodefense must reach technological parity with biological design. No specific figures, dates, or funding amounts were disclosed in the source.
