Phenom-2 and Recursion OS
A model trained on billions of cell microscopy images to read what a drug or gene knockout does to a cell.
Phenom-2 (2024, 1.9B parameters, 8B images) is Recursion's phenomics foundation model; with Boltz-2 and the Recursion OS it drives the company's oncology pipeline (e.g. REC-617 CDK7 inhibitor).
