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
