Profile note
Europe's leading genomics foundation-model lab, now owned by BioNTech — a European pharma company that bought an AI lab outright rather than renting one. NTv3 reasons across one million nucleotides at single-base resolution. Entirely open-weights, no pricing. Sits in this segment because DNA is a non-text modality nobody else in the directory will cover.
