Summary from the TLDR newsletter

OpenAI trained a new AI model called GPT-4b micro with a longevity science startup called Retro Biosciences. Retro, which is backed by Sam Altman, is trying to extend the human lifespan by 10 years. The GPT-4b micro model tries to re-engineer proteins that can turn human skin cells into young-seeming stem cells. It is the first model by OpenAI custom-built for biological research. OpenAI and Retro plan to release research on the model and its outputs.
