We're teaming up with @AnthropicAI and @modal to host a Computational Biology Hackathon. Bring a protein sequence, gene set, or microscopy dataset — leave with an agentic tool built on Modal x Claude Science. Sept 22 | 9AM–7:30PM | Cambridge, MA RSVP: luma.com/boston-comp-bio-hac…

AI is beginning to reveal nature’s patterns, helping us recognize connections, ask better questions, and uncover possibilities we couldn't have reached on our own. Polyintelligence — the synthesis of human, machine, and nature's intelligence — is unlocking new forms of problem solving and creativity. So, what breakthroughs become possible when we can finally understand — and build with — nature’s intelligence? @JCoolScience @AnthropicAI @AvakK @afzelius_lovisa @Prologue_Med @bramaccimmyt @CIMMYT

If every algorithm must become its own company to justify the investment, many of the most impactful ones may never get built. In our latest piece from The Labs Report, Matt Davis, Head of @Flagship_PI explains that the challenge isn't just inventing better algorithms — it's building a deployment model that lets AI create value faster. Full post in the replies.

⭐ 5 Takeaways from Flagship’s 2026 AI Summit ⭐ During our 2026 AI Summit this week, we explored the polyintelligent future— where human, machine, and nature work together as one. Here are five takeaways. 1. Polyintelligence is more than an intersection — it’s an unlock. Polyintelligence is a dynamic integration where each intelligence unlocks and accelerates the other. Human insight informs better models, models accelerate and guide stronger experiments, and experiments reveal deeper biological truths. In turn, polyintelligence enables a new form of intelligence altogether, one that combines the strengths of humans, machines, and nature. 2. Acceleration and discernment must be in balance. AI is making exploration effectively limitless, shifting the challenge from generating ideas to determining which questions actually matter. Real progress will come from balancing the speed of discovery with the discernment to ask the right questions, guide what data is gathered, and focus on what is most impactful. Without that balance, we risk amplifying noise over insight. With it, we can turn AI’s limitless possibility into meaningful insights and, ultimately, a healthier future. 3.Breakthroughs demand integration, not isolation. The most important breakthroughs are happening at the intersections of disciplines, yet our collective knowledge often remains siloed, which limits innovation. The real fix will require prioritizing integration and experimentation. AI-native institutions will combine human and machine intelligence into a unified, interconnected system for learning and execution. 4. AI is converting agricultural signals into early warning systems. Farms, crops, soil, and livestock constantly generate signals about environmental stress and ecosystem change, but historically these signals have been local, fragmented, and reactive. AI is unlocking the ability to interpret these signals at scale, transforming dispersed agricultural data into early warning systems for risks like soil degradation and disease. This application turns agriculture into a predictive system that can detect, respond to, and prevent disruption before it occurs. 5. AI reveals what we didn’t know to look for. Our understanding of nature’s systems is fundamentally limited by how we observe and interpret the world, which we filter through human understanding, assumptions and biases. As a result, we may overlook signals or patterns that seem ancillary but might offer an unlock. AI offers a way to begin closing that gap by integrating diverse data and surfacing patterns we wouldn’t recognize, offering a holistic analysis of the tools and systems nature has evolved. The future of AI will not be built in isolation, but through the synthesis of tools, intelligences, and partners coming together to create something greater. Our 2026 AI Summit brought this to life—surfacing new questions, exploring bold ideas, and highlighting the opportunities ahead.

Join us today at 11:10 AM ET for a livestream from our 2026 AI Summit. Flagship’s Molly Gibson will sit down with panelists @seemaychou (@ArcadiaScience ), @JCoolScience (@AnthropicAI ) and @allmeasures (@leashbio) for a conversation on exploring the challenges of understanding nature’s intelligence, and how AI can help turn those insights into real-world solutions. Tune in to our X, LinkedIn, or YouTube channels to watch.

Nature encodes function in many languages—from protein sequences shaped by evolution to animal communication and the chemistry of smell. Each is expressed through high dimensional patterns that are experimentally accessible yet resist neat, human-legible interpretation. In our upcoming livestream from the annual Flagship AI Summit, panelists @seemaychou (@ArcadiaScience ), @JCoolScience (@AnthropicAI), @gibsmk (Flagship Pioneering), @allmeasures (@leashbio) will explore how modern AI can decode these patterns and re-encode them into new designs. Stay tuned for details on how to watch on March 25th.

Tomorrow we’ll convene AI/ML thought leaders from across academia and the technology, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors for our Artificial Intelligence Summit. From novel applications of AI and the strategic integration of AI agents to value creation and the trends shaping the next 5 years, we’ll cover it all. Stay tuned as we share key takeaways from the day and highlight insights shared by our speakers including John Brownstein (@BostonChildrens), Najat Khan (@RecursionPharma), David Yang (Newo.AI), John Halamaka (@MayoClinic), Chris Bishop (@Microsoft) and more. #FSPAISummit

➡️@MickeyAtwal, Chief Data and AI Officer at @Flagship_PI, @gibsmk, Origination Partner at Flagship Pioneering, and Rajesh Ramaswamy, SVP, Head of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Strategy at @SailBiomeds, joined Marcello Damiani, Flagship Senior Partner, for a wide ranging conversation in the #FlagshipStudio on the AI innovations driving breakthroughs in drug discovery and design, and how AI is proving to be a core value driver to make leaps in human health.

Curious about the Flagship Pioneering AI/ML 2025 Summer Fellowship? If you’re wondering whether Flagship’s summer-long immersion in company creation at the computational cutting edge is for you, ask yourself: ➡️ Are you a biologist, chemist, or engineer who is constantly building and deploying computational tools to gain unique insights and solve big problems? Or a computer scientist eager to apply mathematical frameworks and novel machine learning algorithms to new scientific problems, especially those outside your formal training? ➡️ Are you a builder? Do you love to get your hands dirty with code, data, and models, and use your scientific intuition to design and execute killer experiments quickly? ➡️ Do you say “Yes, and” rather than “Yes, but”? Entertain silly ideas on your journey to craft amazing ones? ➡️ Do you eagerly seek out answers to your questions —from people, papers, and data—quickly and accurately? ➡️ Are you excited by the opportunity to invent and build new technologies that can change the world? Applications are due on Jan 20, 2025. For more information and to apply, visit our website: flagshippioneering.com/join/… #FlagshipFellowship #AI
