Electric Plant CEO @justinmast explains how plants can hear insects approaching and change their chemistry to defend themselves before being attacked: "What we can do now is decode eight different vital signs or physiological functions inside the plant. That’s what we’re going to market with. That’s what’s in the paper." "On top of that, there’s this whole list of plant capabilities. Peer-reviewed science has shown plants are capable of hearing insects come." "They’re capable of changing…

1/ Today we’re unveiling Bombadil, @electricplantco's foundation model that reads the electrical signals of living plants and turns them into a continuous view of their physiology. Trained on 7M+ hours of plant electrical signal across 125+ species. That makes Bombadil the most species-diverse model of directly recorded electrical biosignals in existence. The animal equivalent would be one model that reads the brainwaves of blue whales, horseshoe crabs and fruit flies.
