How they use Nebius AI Cloud
Princeton University researchers in Mengdi Wang’s group collaborated with Stanford and Google DeepMind on CRISPR-GPT, an AI co-pilot for gene-editing experiments. Princeton contributed machine-learning and multi-agent expertise. Princeton’s Kaixuan Huang and Stanford’s Yuanhao Qu were co-first authors. The paper acknowledges Nebius supercomputing resources, and Nebius describes the joint team’s AI Cloud use for model development and fine-tuning.
The team trained CRISPR-Llama3 using 11 years of scientific forum discussions. Nebius reports that an eight-H100 GPU node supported experimentation and that parallel model testing saved several months of development. In a November 2025 podcast, Nebius representative Ilya Burkov confirmed that the joint team trained and ran models on Nebius, including inference.
In October 2025, Le Cong announced a LabOS collaboration involving Princeton’s Mengdi Wang, Nebius, NVIDIA and VITURE. He also announced plans to launch the LabSuperVision benchmark with Princeton and support from Nebius and other partners. Wang’s lab describes LabOS AI-XR as a collaboration to bring AI agents, smart glasses and automation into laboratories.
