AlphaGenome
Vintage: 2026-09. This page exists so alphagenome-atlas is not collapsed into a first-time model invent. Evidence is the 8 Sep 2026 DeepMind Atlas issuer blog as synthesized in 2026-09-08-x-10am-deepmind-alphagenome-atlas-9b-variants-addy-osmani: AlphaGenome already existed as a per-variant model / API / Nature paper path; today’s drop is the precomputed map + AVI layer. This clip does not fetch the Nature paper or the pre-Atlas API docs.
AlphaGenome
One-line summary: DeepMind per-variant DNA molecular-effect model that already existed before 8 Sep 2026; alphagenome-atlas is the genome-wide precomputed map of its predictions (~9B single-letter human variants), not a new base-model announce.
What it is
A named base model / API that Atlas precomputes at scale. Issuer (this pass) says base AlphaGenome was already academic on GitHub/API and commercial on Cloud Model Garden. Atlas adds the 1-petabyte catalogue and AVI score on top.
Why it matters to this thread
Keeping the model and the Atlas map as separate pages is the load-bearing grain of the 10am clip. Collapsing them would invent a “AlphaGenome launched today” story the source explicitly rejects.
Key facts (from 2026-09-08-x-10am-deepmind-alphagenome-atlas-9b-variants-addy-osmani)
- From 2026-09-08-x-10am-deepmind-alphagenome-atlas-9b-variants-addy-osmani (AlphaGenome Atlas blog, September 8, 2026): Atlas was built by precomputing AlphaGenome predictions at scale; AlphaGenome itself already existed as a per-variant model / API / Nature paper path.
- From the same source (same blog): base AlphaGenome already academic on GitHub/API and commercial on Cloud Model Garden; Atlas access is website portal + AlphaGenome API + google-antigravity skill today, Google Cloud commercial “soon.”
- From the same source (@GoogleDeepMind): AVI combines AlphaGenome, AlphaMissense, other features.
What this source does not establish
- No fetched Nature paper or pre-Atlas model card this pass. Do not invent architecture, parameter counts, or Nature-paper metrics.
- Not “invented today.” Today is alphagenome-atlas + alphagenome-variant-impact.
- Clinical disclaimer attaches to Atlas / AVI use, not a claim that the base model is clinically validated. DeepMind: not validated/approved for clinical use.
