Boltz-2 for drug discovery - is the hype justified?

A new study tested it on 38,000+ compounds across two targets:weak to moderate correlation with physics-based binding free energies. Among the top 100 compounds: no significant correlation at all.

Thrilled to announce alphagenome-pytorch, an accurate, readable, and careful port of AlphaGenome's architecture and weights to PyTorch. Work with @gtcaa @m_kjellberg @chriswzou @tuxinming as part of the GenomicsxAI initiative between @anshulkundaje and @pkoo562 labs.

We worked with @Ginkgo to connect GPT-5 to an autonomous lab, so it could propose experiments, run them at scale, learn from the results, and decide what to try next. That closed loop brought protein production cost down by 40%.
