autonomous biology is here.
Our team had to build a novel sandbox solution to handle the needs of Computer. One Computer session can run for days and pause while it waits for a user. Keeping its VM alive wastes memory and compute and restoring from the filesystem alone also loses running processes and memory. SPACE uses two kinds of snapshots. Disk snapshots run frequently without pausing the VM and let us roll back filesystem changes. Full checkpoints are less frequent and capture the paused VM, including its memory and process state. When a session is suspended, we upload its full checkpoint to object storage. We only mark it restorable after every artifact has landed. Any node can then fetch the filesystem delta and VM state, so recovery does not depend on the original machine. Btrfs makes this cheap enough to run continuously. Templates, snapshots, and forks share the same extents until something writes to them. Creating a sandbox becomes a copy-on-write metadata operation instead of a full image copy. On production traffic, median creation latency fell from 185 ms to 60 ms. P90 fell from 447 ms to 89 ms.
STARDATE 39534 After two years, we release our technical blog: the physical system for AI to interact with life. World's first video of drug-induced ferroptosis in the same living cancer cell. The product: a cell-state trajectory AI will learn from. 🧵READ HOW; BLOG BELOW🧵
Today, we take drugs without knowing what they do to us. We solve disease without knowing what it really is. Never again. AI helps us understand high dimensional spectral tokens of cell state. We happen to have built a factory to manufacture them.

We are now working out a deal to use a smaller drug scope system (not as sophisticated as pictured) on Indian patients for oral cancer as a v1. Oral cancer takes many lives of patients in Delhi especially. India gives us a path to try this out faster, serve patients, and still be able to make impact as a smaller startup. But don’t worry - we plan to take this worldwide. Exciting stuff ahead!
Today is a day of many announcements. This is DRUG-SCOPE, our future vision of our room-large optical system. We completed the process of optical design, miniaturized, years ago. Today, we share it with you. It can be used in surgeries, on the skin, in manufacturing.

Happy GPT 5.6 day! We dream of fighting disease with this kind of intelligence. In that spirit, here is a first preview of Cell Cinema, the future cell token for AI models. And a first for humanity: we recorded ferroptosis label-free, in real-time. A huge feat for biosciences.
