GPT-4b Enters The Laboratory: OpenAI’s New Model Takes On Longevity Science 

January 24, 2025

Over the past year, OpenAI has dominated headlines with ChatGPT and breakthroughs in generative AI. Now, the company has quietly entered the laboratory, and its first biological research initiative signals a profound shift in longevity science.

In collaboration with Retro Biosciences, OpenAI has developed GPT-4b micro, a specialized AI model that surpasses human capabilities in stem cell research. This venture into biological engineering marks a decisive step beyond language processing, and the results are remarkable. Early testing shows that the model achieves cellular reprogramming with 50 times greater efficiency than conventional methods, rewriting established rules of cellular biology.

Best of 2024: The Stories That Defined Longevity

January 11, 2025

Medicine stopped asking “what if” and started delivering “what’s next” in 2024.

Familiar drugs revealed new powers – GLP-1s protected brain tissue while reshaping metabolic health. Psychedelic therapy protocols moved from promising data to proven results. Anti-aging treatments once reserved for elite clinics found their way to neighborhood practices. Meanwhile, in pop-up enclaves across the globe, independent communities merged Web3 tools with longevity research, questioning every assumption about how science advances.

Yet, as medical possibilities soared to new heights, U.S. life expectancy data laid bare the chasm between medical capability and public health reality. This stark contrast forced hard questions about implementation – not just of new treatments, but of medical education itself.

Real-time analysis from the A4M Blog translated emerging science into practical guidance. From hormone optimization advances in menopause care to supplement safety investigations that exposed dangerous oversight gaps, each new revelation spurred meaningful progress in modern healthcare.
