       | Initially looking at the title, it seemed like this was a biomed
       | LLM which would be really exciting. But after looking at the

       | 
       | Not saying that it's not useful, just not as exciting.

         | APIs available and how to use them, wrapped up in CLIs. They
         | include some evaluation tasks, which I guess they wanted to be
         | repeatable, but not sure this warrants a paper -- this should
         | be a GPT in the OpenAI marketplace.

       | The way to make this useful is to give it info about your own DNA
       | and let it answer questions like: "tell me about my/my kids
       | chances of balding".
       | 
       | If you want to learn something about your DNA it would take years
       | if the strategy was to ask what each specific SNP did.
