AI writes in brief:

  • Freenome announced a major expansion of its AI partnership with NVIDIA to speed up and improve the accuracy of its blood-based multi-cancer screening tests, using GPU-accelerated deep learning to analyze cfDNA, methylation, RNA, and protein signals at massive scale. 
  • The collaboration will support both Freenome’s proprietary fragment-level deep learning models and a new open-source cfDNA methylation foundation model, as the company prepares for FDA review of its first colorectal cancer test and multiple new launches in 2026.
