Abraham said Holon-S1 can help researchers study archived cancer slides, but the company-reported results leave independent reproducibility and clinical utility unproven, and the model is not cleared for clinical use.", "body_md": "# Sophont says Holon-S1 maps predicted gene activity from routine slides\n\n**Co-founder Tanishq Mathew Abraham says Holon-S1 can help researchers study archived cancer slides.
