On 2026-08-06, researchers led by Stanford reported the first viruses whose genomes were designed by AI. Using models called Evo1 and Evo2 trained on 2 million bacteriophage sequences, they generated thousands of designs, built nearly 300 in the lab, and obtained 16 viable bacteriophages that as a cocktail killed E. coli resistant to natural phages in dish experiments.
