An AI system just designed better molecular models than the specialist tools built by the labs that own those models.

intology’s Locus does a machine-learning researcher’s job: > proposes experiments, > runs many batches of them in parallel on GPUs > keeps what works and repeats, > now applied to drug and antibody design.

Locus beat GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 agents on molecular prediction

impressive given the variety of tasks and how well locus scales compared to other baselines
