Evidence boundaries

Organisation listings identify a reviewed canonical record. Model listings show an association in the source register; they do not by themselves establish model creation, current API availability, hosting location or infrastructure ownership.

Profile note

London 'biology foundation model' company whose real moat is proprietary data: BaseGraph is built from novel biodiversity sampling under access-and-benefit-sharing agreements with 25+ countries, rather than from public sequence databases. BaseFold augments AlphaFold2 with that data and reportedly beats it substantially on large complex structures. Interesting as a counter-model to Isomorphic Labs: independent and UK-owned, competing on data provenance rather than on compute. Latest verified funding is the $60M round of Oct 2024; no 2026 round found.
