“We are partnered with Organizations like Mayo Clinic, leading research health system in the United States, our institute, as well as a startup called Prima Menta, which focuses on neurodegenerative disease. And in our partnership with them, we've used foundation models they've been training and applied our interpretability techniques to find novel biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease.”

“If you ask that model, try to like use it as an LLM as a judge, it's not very good. But if you probe its mind and you sort of detect when the features related to personally identifiable information are firing, that gets you the highest recall of anything. It's…”
