Has Cyc been forgotten? Maybe it's unknown to tech startup hucksters who haven't studied AI in any real way but it's a well known project among both academic and informed industry folks.

Probably. IMHO there is a lot of low-hanging fruit for startups in the field of symbolic AI applied to biology and medicine.

Bonus points if that is combined with modern differentiable methods and SAT/SMT, i.e. neurosymbolic AI.

There is MindAptive who have something about symbolics as a kind of machine language interface that I think went the other way as in trying to do everything under the sun but its the last time I came across anything reminding me of Cyc

I think the issue in this area is mostly to convince and sell to bureaucratic institutions.

I was thinking more in terms of a pharma startup.
