Today we’re announcing the $600M Formation Bio Drug Development Accelerator Fund.
@lintaho and I started @FormationBio because we believed the biggest bottleneck in bringing new medicines to patients wasn’t drug discovery, but drug development.
As AI dramatically accelerates discovery, that bottleneck is only becoming more acute. Without the capital and capacity to advance promising drugs through clinical trials, much of that progress won’t translate into medicines for patients.
Our new Fund brings together dedicated capital, drug development expertise, and AI-powered development capabilities to acquire promising drugs and advance them through the clinic.

Building a custom model of my (new) house with claude/codex. Fused Matterport data from the listing with floorplans and tape measurements.
First use case is to build the model itself, so feature #1 is 3d anchors I can reference in agent chat.
You need to be able to point at things.

I'm releasing Convo-quest, an experiment in conversational gaming with AI NPCs built with @ElevenLabs. It can take ~20 mins of conversation time to complete but you can try it for free. Use your charms and wit to assist Thalgrum Ironthane the owner of the Stone and Stave tavern.

Built a permissionless biomedical research API where agents pay $0.01–$0.10/query in USDC on @base
No API keys. No accounts. No subscriptions. Just an HTTP header.
11 endpoints: trending topics, emerging research, key papers, author analytics.
Live now on x402

Missed opportunity by @valaratomics for “Make America Nuclear Again” we could have been mana-maxing

Here's an x402 compatible API for analyzing scientific publishing trends. Docs have agent affordances to make it easier to read. Agents can use a wallet and hit the endpoints to perform different analyses across topics.

Proud to announce that Formation Bio has acquired worldwide rights, excluding greater China, to FHND5032, a small-molecule miR-124 activator for autoimmune diseases. This marks our third acquisition in six months, and we plan to enter the clinic in 2026.
Go behind the scenes of the acquisition with our team in our latest video.
