one slight issue I often have with techbio is the way people use some very specific model benchmark as validation that their tool is somehow “better”. i think in general we need a better push for more top down biologically informed benchmarks that truly ask “will this make my drug better at what it needs to do” especially in cancer vaccines

from my pov, the primary objective for the block does indeed seem to be safety, but there is a secondary effect of deterring techbio companies from making progress, which incidentally aligns with anthropic's increasing focus on biology

It is still too early start a techbio!!

Proteins are the machines our bodies run on, and predicting how they interact is central to designing new treatments. In the wake of AlphaFold’s 2024 Nobel win, what’s the state of AI models for proteins, and how do techbio business models impact which scientists can use them?
I recently sat down with @GabriCorso, CEO and co-founder of @boltz_bio, a venture-backed startup driven by opening up scientist access to these models.
In our conversation we covered:
The shift from discovering drugs by chance to designing them with AI models (Boltz-1, Boltz-2, and BoltzGen)
Boltz's focus on openness, and how it diverges from fully integrated efforts like DeepMind's Isomorphic Labs
Boltz’s multi-year partnership with @pfizer, and how proprietary data sharpens models for a company's specific drug-discovery efforts
The road to "zero-shot drugs," autonomous labs, and the future of bio R&D
