Applied technology lab
Carbon Based is an applied research lab. We put the two great breakthroughs of our age — machine intelligence and robotics — to work expanding, improving, and augmenting human health.
What we do
Three pillars
Pillar 01 · LLMs
A large model's ability to reason, infer and statistically determine becomes a platform for advanced research — hypotheses explored in silico long before the physical world is ever touched.
Pillar 02 · Multimodal
Multimodality unlocked the ingestion of real sensor data — vision, sound, signal — and the power to corroborate it with reasoning. The system perceives and thinks at once.
Pillar 03 · Robotics
Precise, repeatable motion gives sensors an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio; driven by our inference and multimodality, it unlocks use cases neither could reach alone — and paves the way to intervening in the medical process itself.
In the lab
Project 01 · Soma
An interplay of reasoning LLM models — general and fine-tuned, working in concert and in opposition: to make sense of your biology, discern what matters, and simulate what comes next. Give it your genome, your bloods, your scans — it assembles a living model of you.
Project 02 · The Double
Soma, connected to your life — on the web and in your pocket. It keeps opening new avenues to read you and folds each into a digital double that's continuously yours. Flags interactions and lifestyle changes, never a diagnosis.
Project 03 · OmniRobotica
A collaborative robotic arm with swappable sensor heads — ultra-precise, non-invasive health monitoring, hands-free. Work in progress, early-stage research.
Why we exist
Inference, multimodality, and hardware are how we get there.
