If I’m understanding this right:

1. They have a protein model similar to AlphaFold

2. A biotech startup used this model to engineer a protein that converts adult cells into stem cells, at a higher efficiency than existing techniques. (But still only a tiny fraction of cells convert)

Application to life extension seems speculative.

Yes, that's how I read it too.

Seems odd that OpenAI would want to get involved in this space, feels like Deepmind has a huge headstart already.
