we build
foundation models
for biology.
Living Models is building the AI infrastructure to understand living systems — starting with the plant kingdom.
a platform for
plant genomics
BOTANIC is our first family of foundation models for plant biology, starting with BOTANIC-0. 120 B200 GPUs and 1,600+ curated genomes are locked in for what comes next.

Our first model learns the language of DNA, predicting gene function, regulatory elements, and trait associations.
BOTANIC-0 is the first iteration, not the destination.
Open weights, published research, and a foundation to build on.
the discovery pipeline is broken
Developing a single crop trait takes 8+ years. The $60B crop protection market relies on pipelines built for a pre-genomics era. Foundation models can change that.
