AI Drug Discovery Breakthrough

Chai Discovery’s New Model

Two major announcements this week highlight the role of AI in drug discovery and research. First up, Chai Discovery has unveiled Chai One, a foundation model that excels at molecular structure prediction, setting a new standard in various drug discovery tasks. You can find the inference code and web interface on their website.

Google DeepMind’s AlphaProteo

Not to be outdone, Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaProteo, an AI system designed to create novel proteins that bind effectively to target molecules. This advancement promises to enhance our understanding of biological systems and streamline drug design.

Working AI Agents Are Here

Replit’s AI Coder

Replit has launched an incredible new AI coder that allows users to create software applications without needing to know any programming.

Ethan Mollick, a Wharton professor, demonstrated just how powerful this tool is by building an app that analyzes sentiment in paragraphs, all in just twenty-three minutes, and without writing a single line of code!

This technology drastically accelerates development processes and empowers non-technical team members to contribute to software projects like never before. Prepare for disruption in many industries as AI agents continue to evolve.

Five Plus AI Workflows You Can Copy

In the latest episode of The Next Wave, hosts Matt Wolfe and I shared over five AI workflows that you can implement in your own business. This new format has received great feedback, so stay tuned for more episodes!

Paper Proves LLMs Generate Novel Research Ideas

A recent study has demonstrated that large language models (LLMs) can produce innovative research concepts. The study claims that LLMs frequently outshine human researchers in generating unique ideas. This could reshape how we approach research in numerous fields.
