Andrei Georgescu, CEO of Vivid AI, argues that current state-of-the-art virtual cell models show performance saturation even with a small fraction of the input data. He notes that these models, which are far removed from natural feedback loops, seem to reach their peak performance after only a couple percent of the data is processed.
“the the challenge of this argument that it's just like this just a, uh, a size of dataset thing, is that currently, even the state of the art, virtual cell models that exist, saturate at a very, very small, uh, fraction of the input data that is fed to them.”
“So, you can have all the data you want, but their performance saturates after a couple percent.”
“And the reason it gets so difficult is when cells are growing in a dish, which, uh, they are so far removed from all the feedback loops that, uh, are natural in people, that they're just trying to colonize that piece of plastic.”
