🔬Biology Is Turning Into Software — Matt McPartland & Neil Patel, Chai Discovery Aug 11, 2026 · 1:35:20 Chai's platform functions as a visual design suite, resembling SolidWorks or Figma rather than ChatGPT. It enables co-designing protein sequences and structures to accelerate drug discovery by moving from a 'waterfall' model to an agile, iterative loop.

Recent signals

An Eval for AI Scientists That Knows the Answer Key - Ian Quigley, Leash Bio Oct 26, 2026 · 16:34 Minos is a framework allowing scientific agents to explore pre-measured chemical environments for SAR optimization. It enables scalable, 'lab-in-the-loop' simulation for drug discovery. Why AlphaFold Didn't Solve Protein Folding — Pushmeet Kohli, Google DeepMind & Sal Candido, Biohub Oct 10, 2026 · 32:42 The panel discusses why AlphaFold's breakthrough was only the beginning. Progress requires moving beyond scaling compute and data, focusing instead on finding the right biological scaling laws and building holistic models of living systems. A Worm With 302 Neurons Inspired Their Architecture — Ramin Hasani, Liquid AI Sep 18, 2026 · 1:09:52 Liquid AI is pioneering the next generation of AI by developing Liquid Neural Networks (LNNs), inspired by biological systems. They use meta AI to search for hybrid, hardware-efficient architectures for reliable on-device intelligence.
