GeneGPT, a tool-augmented LLM for bioinformatics

The linked article is about GeneGPT, a tool-augmented LLM that utilizes biomedical tools, specifically NCBI Web APIs, for information retrieval. The approach combines in-context learning and a decoding algorithm that can identify and execute API calls, resulting in state-of-the-art performance on eight GeneTuring tasks. The code and data for GeneGPT are available and can be run with Python 3.9.13, but an OpenAI API key is required for its use with Codex.
