GoKawiilRadical Numerics launches offline AI model to detect engineered pathogens
Radical Numerics unveiled Omnii Defense, an edge AI model meant to detect natural and AI-engineered pathogens using a laptop paired with a USB gene sequencer, and able to operate without internet access. The San Francisco startup, founded in 2025 by former Stanford researchers behind the Evo DNA models, previously used a related model called Omnii to design bacteriophages that treated a drug-resistant E. coli infection under FDA permission.
