Frontier AI labs locking up startups' proprietary wet-lab data

Frontier AI labs are actively buying their way into biotech data instead of relying on public benchmarks, cutting deals with startups to access proprietary wet-lab and experimental datasets. The shift is happening at scale, basically every startup with a real high-throughput platform has been approached for licensing. The edge is moving to whoever locks up the most closed, continuously generated lab data before bio models commoditize.
