Recursion was built on the premise that decoding biology requires large scale fit-for-purpose ML datasets and that large models trained on such datasets would allow us to decode biology.
In 2023, we saw an opportunity to build such a model. We were challenged to Show Ben Mabey the Model! We initiated Project Seldon (named after Hari Seldon of Isaac Assimov's Foundation). This would be the world's first and largest phenomics foundation model of biology. And... Guess what?! We Delivered.

In May of 2023, we moved into HQW, welcomed Altitude Lab to the Gateway and unveiled our showcase. We will never get tired of breaking out the big scissors!!
We acquired Cyclica & Valence Discovery and welcomed more than 600 new Recursionauts to the team! The acquisitions of Cyclica and Valence add amazing capabilities in digital chemistry and AI. Our powers combine!!!! To form a greater and more powerful TechBio superteam!!
