According to Wired, Radical Numerics announces Omnii Defense biodefense model to flag natural and AI-engineered pathogens

According to Wired, Radical Numerics on Wednesday announced Omnii Defense, an edge model designed to flag natural and AI-engineered pathogens using a laptop and USB gene sequencer. It can also run offline for field researchers with spotty internet access. The company says the model assigns genomes a threat score from zero to one and is currently limited to vetted external testers while it works with national laboratories, government agencies, and other independent evaluators to assess performance.
